4′ high residential galvanized fence system costs between $3.50 to $5.00 per lineal foot, while the 6′ high commercial systems start out at $10.00 to $12.00 per lineal foot.

My 20′ long x 5′ tall example would run $70 to $100 for the cheap stuff compared to the twenty bucks I spent.

Plus, you can take up the mesh a lot easier to till and mow than dealing with a fence — less of course you already have a fence (or your neighbor’s) or the parts just lying around.

In my case, I didn’t have either.
