I need inspiration! Show me your chicken fencing!

That gate might sag unless you put a diagonal brace in it.

It's fairly light, and rests on the ground. The brace will only add weight on the hinges so if you wanted to you could get tension wire, with a turnbuckle and eye bolts to secure it off the ground.

In case anyone was wondering what I meant:

The dog pen in my photo above is also welded wire but I used metal T-posts instead of wooden posts and attached the wire fencing with T-post clips. I suggested a non-permanent fence because you said you only wanted to use it occasionally (it's easier to set up and to pick up to mow and move, etc.), but if permanent fencing is what you are looking for welded wire is a good DIY option.

Thank you! I really want to look into both.

Not the cheapest route you could go that's for sure.

Why not coat the end of that post?
