3. Problems with chicken wire

Being what it is, I'd have to weed the tall grass that grows next to the wire by hand and that's something I want to get away from. Being somewhat flimsy, it doesn't roll up nice and neat like the heavier gauge mesh wire I have now. Deer can also see it and the chicken wire would have to be high enough to deter them from jumping and being of light gauge, it's not easy to get a 6' high chicken fence taut and to keep it that way.

I've tried chicken fence in the past and after a bit, it didn't look good, started to sag in places, so the wife said no more of that and I agreed. I put a lot of work into the garden and I do want it to look good.
