Fences are built for multiple reasons. It may be for privacy, safety, security, or merely for aesthetics and curb appeal. But the most common reason is to discourage trespassers from entering your property. If you are planning to have a fence, always consider the main purpose and features.
One of the most useful and popular fences is the coyote fence. A coyote fence is made from a heavy steel mesh that goes a few feet underground to prevent coyotes from digging and high enough (about 5 feet) to prevent them from climbing. The fencing is made up of “latillas” or thin logs. These latillas are bound together with baling wire. The standard heights of this type of fence are 5′, 6′, and 8′.
Coyote fencing originated in the southwestern part of the USA. It was used by ranchers as protection from coyotes. This is most common in Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico. Coyote fencing has become an important aspect of Southwestern landscape architecture.
