Re: New fence - kick/bottom plate questionIf it were me I'd just use some garden/chicken metal fence between the ground and the cedar. I'd dig down like 4-6 inches to bury the fence then staple it to the back side of the cedar with like 1/4" wide crown staples. |

Until someone goes to weed eat the bermuda and St. Augustine grass we have. I have no issues with a weed eater around chicken/garden fence/wire. It works great to deter our dog from trying to dig. It's a proven method to handle the issue. I got the idea from another dog owner who got it from another dog owner. I didn't just get up this morning and decide to make up something that sounds good to post. |

To prevent sagging bottom rails should be supported with a kick plate. |

You still use line? You need to look into Aero-Flex! It makes no difference if you have chain, wood, concrete, or anything else for a wall you need to trim around with that. » www.aero-flex.com/ |
