When new first bought the property 22 years ago, I wanted to plant a small bean field and planned ahead with the fence. You might say I’m prone to, …intestinal problems the day after eating beans.
We live on a lake and put the fence in to keep the kids and dogs out of the lake, the geese and ducks out of the yard, and to make for good neighbors.
The dogs used to make friends with the geese, and the neighbor dogs by pushing on the bottom of the fence and escaping the yard. They didn’t have enough posts to stay on the porch/deck. We put poles along the bottom of the fence to keep the dogs from lifting the fence. We used the aluminum wire to hold the fence and pole together in most spots. In a few places I replaced the wire with 550 cord after one of my boys kept breaking the wire by throwing a ball against an old piece of carpet hanging from the fence. Plus it gave me an opportunity to see how long the cord would last when subjected to sun, wind, water, cold and a string trimmer.
Four years late the boy has moved out but the cord is still holding strong.
Remember this: Everytime I blink, you disappear.

You never said you live on a lake, I like lakes. . Seriously. I can see why you have a fence. I was just messing with you calling it a hurricane fence this far inland. But I think I would have a fence as well. Sides, you wouldn't want to blow the sailboats off course after the bean fest.

Where do you get your 850 cord from? I would like to try braiding some up but it is much harder to come by. After going back and reading this thread again, I think that I shall go ahead and make up an INCH bag fully stocked (sort of) at all times. I have the Boots now that I can put in there along with some nice winter gloves and other items that can reside inside and be "Abandoned" if needed for something different, ie. Winter clothing for summer wear. Greaser, Here is a source for 1/4 inch thick 1000 pound test para cord in 10,25,50 and 100 foot hanks. http://www.paracordplanet.com/paracord/specialty-cord/para-max-cord/
