Temporary fence idea's?

Shefwedfan

I am getting a permanent fence solution but it will be 5 weeks or so before installation. I have 2 small kids and I know they won't go near other side of garden but still would like to block it off for piece of mind.

I am looking for something temporary to stop them. 1m high would be more than enough as they are younger then 4.

I was thinking using maybe chicken wire(https://www.agridirect.ie/product/36x-1-galvanised-wire-netting-50-yard-)

Also maybe some posts like the following? https://www.agridirect.ie/product/plastic-posts-1-metre-x-20

Gap is only about 4m from one wall to another.

Those white fence posts won't do your job, the spur is light and only 4-5 inches long, just designed to hold single strand of fence wire.

You could get 4 wooden posts in a farm co op, light ones, we call them "tooth picks" here, handy for a temporary fence like your after, couple euro each.

Knock them into the ground 6-8 inches, nail chicken wire to them.

Chicken wire is thin and sharp.

PVC coated chainlink would be better.

Or a couple of sheets of weldmesh.

Weldmesh is stiffer so may not need posts.

If it is only 4M would 2 6feet x 3feet panels and 3 4ft posts do?

Yea the smallest ones.

I'd go with the chicken wire rather than spending money on weldnesh or similar.

Cheap n cheery, but safe.

looksee

And rather than annoying yourself trying to knock nails into a post, use cable ties.

And if it's only a temporary fence to keep small kids in, I would suggest stretching wire top and bottom and putting on cheap garden netting, the type used for keeping the pigeons off the cabbage.. You would be better off to attach the wire to the walls both sides, so as to be able to apply sufficient tension.

That might be idea and then I could use the standard wire posts, I am thinking I don't really want to bang posts into middle of lawn for a few weeks
