[Jacob-list] more fencing questions

[Neal and Louise Grose]

"We were worried that the graduated field fencing would have big enough holes, low enough to the ground, that 2 smallish australian cattle dogs (new neighbors :-/) might be able to crawl through.  "

How about this: The graduated field fencing or combination livestock panels should have close enough spacing on the lower part to discourage small dogs. For insurance, run a single electric strand 6 inches off the ground around the exterior of the fence. You don't even have to use a high output fence charger, since you will already have slowed the critters down, and it doesn't take much of a shock to discourage a dog.
