Looking for fencing ideas

Calahonda52

Attached see three pictures.
the slope from left to right is making using wire a problem
The full width is 16 feet.
Looking for suggestions as to how to make the bottom of the fence dog (in)/rabbit (out) proof.
Don't really want to fill the trench and level up the ground with concrete.

Maybe bed some galvanised mesh in it,
.
Am thinking of horizontal hit and miss, which would allow me deal with the slope.
If H&M ,any thoughts on what type of timber.
the far side wont be seen so need not be expensive on the off side.
Thanks as always

How big are the dogs?

I have both 6ft horizontal H&M and four rail post-and-rail with PVC coated weldmesh and bullwire running at ground level. Both keep the dogs in. The post and rail is much cheaper.

what about just a single large concrete blocks run along in a line up to just below ground level?

or there are more stable and just fill with soil

Would vertical hit and miss not make dealing with the slope easier?

The plan is to stick it all on my side on the fence, the posts are 150 across
So fix the inside horz layer first.
then brace them vertically with 4 by 2's
and then fix the outer layer.
.Thats just the current plan

I can only buy the weld mesh in 40 m rolls, 180 euro for a 4' roll

Are wooden slats out of the question, for some reason? I have more fencing ~ and Dogs, for that matter! ~ than it's healthy to think about. All sorts of both.

I've found slats or mesh contain them. And my ground is brutal. Every inch is higher than the next. My entire property's one big slope. Slats can be cut to individual length, to provide a level top line. Mesh tends to be more of a struggle.

Either way, nice cover behind, like ye have there, is great. They don't like trying to jump over, into cover. And, that channel will stop them digging under.

packed with clay both sides, supported by the 4 by 2 rail.
Thanks for all the suggestions

:eek: Wow! That'd make a herd of boar think twice! Lovely job!

Dunno if I ,misread the original question though? I thought it was the fence above ground? What ever; Best digger stopper I've ever seen!
