| hi mate welcome to the site if you got any building work going on round near you have a search round for the mesh fenching they use to surround site i think they call it harris fencing just get a panel of that and cut it down to size using wire snips or anlgle grinder if not just get yourself some chicken wire :icon_biggrin_smiley75: |

| the fencing on building sites is no good the holes are to big chicken wire is best but you have got to find the strong stuff or they will bite through it i lost a few that have bitten through chicken wire you can get it from dewsons but its not cheap |
