Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: no climb fence

To echo what has been already said here, no climb is so that horses etc can't climb the fence. Actually, no climb fence helps those predators that can't jump over or mash it down climb. It really is kind of a misnomer as a lot of people assume no climb means nothing can climb it and gives them a false sense of security.

It means a horse can't walk it down by putting their hooves through the
wire, thus the name, "horse no climb fence". I'm guessing that welded wire
will not hold a horse that is trying to climb it. It does NOT mean that
other things cannot climb it.

But other animals can still climb it? Like goats and predators?
That is what was confusing to me.....it looked just like all the wire
fencing I have ever used except it was woven instead of welded.
Actually it seemed to me it would be *easier* for the goats or any other
heavier animal to climb as the woven would be sturdier and not break
under the weight of the animal climbing it.

Thanks! Janice
