Raccoons keep tearing holes in my duck run fencing
(lemmy.world)
Use thicker fencing? I've got regular chain link for mine and haven't had any issues
I'm saving up to have chain link installed. I had a bunch of unexpected stuff that depleted my savings. :(
Fair, we use an old dog run so it wasn't extra cost to us to set up
The raccoons in my area don't seem to mess with privacy screening,maybe try that? We use it to block the view of our livestock from our house dogs and I've never seen a raccoon rip through it in the 3 years I've had it up, and I keep dog food on the inside of that yard
That's a good idea!
What's your fence made of?
Chicken wire is for keeping chickens in.
That's for poultry during the day. It's not for keeping predators out.
You want 1/4" hardware cloth for that.
I'm using chicken wire as fencing. I'm adding more wire and hardware cloth on top of that.
