I opened the package of chicken wire yesterday and was surprised at how flimsy the stuff seemed to be. I've used it before, some 10 years ago or so, and I just did not recall it being so...well, crappy. Does chicken wire come in different gauges? Why do I remember it being better quality years ago??
I am concerned now that a determined predator could get through this stuff- has anyone had this happen? I don't mean getting in through gaps and holes- I mean has anyone had anything break through the wire?
I have 4x2 horse fencing I can use, but would prefer not to as it is waaay expensive. I'd just like to make sure this flimsy chicken wire will hold BEFORE I fence my coop yard and find out the hard way.
