This is a quick step-by-step tutorial for installing a wire net fence, also called garden wire, garden netting, welded wire, etc. Technically itâs not chicken wire but itâs similar. This particular fence is 4 feet tall with 4 inch gaps, which meets regulations for fencing in a pool in most municipalities. It also helps keep your dog from chasing critters. The stakes are 5 ft U-posts.
This is just temporary fencing until I can install permanent posts and make it look pretty. My backyard has several elevation changes, so this video also covers how to change the angle to accommodate changes in terrain. This might not be the look you want long-term, but itâs functional.

4ft wire on 5ft posts? The MFGs recommend all T posts be sunk 24" min.
So you should be using a 6 1/2ft post sunk 24" leaving 54" above ground.
48" for wire & 6" reflector above the wire.
Your Welcome.

Great video with excellent tips! It's not exactly what I was searching for, but it certainly points me in the right direction. I live in a tiny northern AZ town, and we've got plenty of elk, javelina, and other wild critters. My goal is to keep my dog inside rather than having him on a long leash when we're outdoors. He's got a knack for chasing after anything that moves. My house sits on a hill, and the yard is quite sloped and uneven. Your advice on how to angle a fence like this will be a huge help. I'm looking forward to a video on how to build a gate; I'll check if you've made one already. Thanks again for the awesome video!
any thought on how to hang a gate and latch with tposts
This was super helpful. I appreciate the normal person vibe of this.
Do you think this would hold in a jumpy 65/70 lb dog? I want to get them a fence, but cant afford all the chainlink materials. (One is extremely jumpy, the other is more of just a bark-happy, slight jumper. Lol)
We live in the country by a busy road and across a field, so the one boy gets overly excited with deer and wildlife, people, etc. Was just wondering if this would be strong enough for him.
Thanks for the video, i love how you explain everything.
Great video! Good alternative options! Hoping to try this to save thousands in hiring someone for our 2 acres!!
This was a very informative video, thank you. I have an old fence that's falling down, and I'm bringing home a couple of puppies next week, so I chose the welded wire with t-posts. Thank you for this!
Not good at building stuff and wanted to see if there is any way to put this on concrete any tips if itâs possible on how to do it
My partner and I are renters, and we've been searching for an affordable fencing option that our landlord wouldn't give grief over. This is a perfect alternative, a good weekend project. Your video is neat, thorough, and informative. Thanks
Thank you very much for your video. I just bought a house and need a quick fence. Great video!
I really appreciate the lack of unnecessary valueless talking, thank you for getting right to it and being easy to understand.
Thanks. This really helps out a lot! I thought it wasn't possible to do it without any digging.
Thank you – I watched a lot of fencing videos that were way too complicated. This was easy to understand and not intimidating to do by myself for my guinea fowls and dog đ
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! THANK YOU!!
tabs up or tabs down on the posts?? you showed both.
Winter đ .
Wish i had dirt that easy to work with! đ
Thxâ¤
Great video – very helpful! Thank you for posting!!
I would love to see the fence once you add the new wood fence posts.
This was helpful with my backyard fence. Thank you.
This was perfect! Exactly the type of fence Iâm looking to install for my dogs so I donât have to be out with them all the time.
Thanks! Very useful.
This is helpful. Thank you.
Would this method be good to use for a vegetable garden to keep rabbits out or would I need to put some of the fencing under the dirt to keep rabbits out.
If you break the weld, use wire clips to connect the 2 pieces together.
Thank you! This is very helpful!!
Thank you so much! It helped me put the fence up!
Audio is rough but thank you
Thank you for sharing. I plan to build this at the back of my propertyâit's straightforward, simple, and efficient!
Good job.
Don't expect a fence like this to last long or to stop any livestock. For that it needs to be properly tensioned, with heavy strainer posts at ends and corners, and the strainers need to be strutted or guyed â the strength of a wire fence is in the tension. You also need some way of stretching the wire really tightâ there are simple tools for that. Your fence as it is would be OK though for small dogs, very small children or as a simple visual deterrent.
This is exactly what I needed. Getting ready to fence my very wooded backyard with the help of two strapping grandsons. Will use a combination of metal posts and trees. Thank you for the clarity.
How much spacing between each post?
Amazing video!
Great video Blake! This is best video I have found on utube for mesh fencing.
Thanks for the info really helpful
I clicked on this video just to see what the first comment was lmao! I
