It’s time to make a garden fence! Keep unwanted animals out of your yard with a stylish barrier you make yourself!
To get started you’ll need:
Pencil Measuring tape Hammer Wire cutters
Rafter Square Leveler Tool Clamps Safety Glasses
Airgun staple Gloves Staples 18g; crown 1/4”; length 1-1/2″
Compound miter saw Wood 8’x 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” and 8’ x 2-1/2″ x 3/4″ Welded wire 14g 1 x 2 mesh
Step 1: For the legs, cut two 24” pieces of wood from the 1-1/2”x 1-1/2” wood.
Note: Make sure to use safety glasses!
Step 2: For the length, cut two 22” pieces of from the 2-1/2”x 3/4” wood.
Step 3: For the front of the frame, cut a piece of wire 26” x 15-1/2”.
Note: Use the wire cutters and gloves.
Step 4: Make a 40-degree cut from the end of the two legs using the miter saw. This is to stick it into the ground.
Note: Only 8” will go in the ground.
Step 5: Staple the 24” with the 22” wood with a staple gun. At this point, you should have a shape of a door frame.
Note: Put 4 staples in for a stronghold and use the leveler and rafter square to make sure it’s straight. Hold it in place with a clamp.
Step 6: Measure 16” from top to bottom and staple the second wood that measures 22” inches.
Note: use 4 staples for both sides. Use the leveler and rafter square to make sure it’s straight.
Step 7: Bent 2” inches with a hammer from each side of the wire and put it on top of the frame.
Note: add a staple on each corner and in the middle of four sides. Add on more staples as needed.
And there you have it! Your new fence is easy to install and is perfect for preventing rabbits or other small animals from getting into your garden. If rabbits aren’t your issue, you can check our store for different wire sizes to keep out any type of animal you want! The wire is galvanized so you won’t have to worry about rust. Build as many as you need to surround your patch of grass or precious plants. Other things you could build include chicken coops and rabbit hutches/playpens.
