    Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

    G'day Everyone, I just wanted to make mention of the wildfires over in the USA at the moment. No doubt many fences will need to be rebuilt... sadly and homes etc. We are following your fight against nature (unfortunately some deliberately lit) but you guys gave us Aussies a lot of support during our firey last summer so you should know we are thinking of you during this trying time. All the best, Mark

      When I saw this video I remembered the horrible sad images from last terrible fire season in Australia, of bunch cangaroos and other animals trying to scape from the fires but they were trapped between the fire and the long fences of someones field...
      Have the country taken some measures to make corridors in order the animals would be able to scape safe in situations like that one? (I really really hope that it would never ever happens any more fires).

      I saw a video once of a kangaroo going after a guy's dog. Its upper body was freakin ripped, and I found it very disconcerting how it made it look kinda half human. Anyway, the guy just marched right up to that kangaroo and hauled off and punched it like it was bar fight! It was crazy! The kangaroo didn't run off right away, but ultimately the guy and the dog were okay.
      I imagine with a 2:1 ratio, this type of encounter might be just a thing that happens sometimes there, yeah? Maybe that's why the guy knew right what to do?

    Really nice fence. Those guys do some good work. Maybe think about running a hot wire all around the outside. I'd put one low, about 6-8 inches off the ground. Then another right at the top. Grounding the fence wire will help. Pretty much stop any ground based predators from getting to your birds. In any case, cheers from the US. :)

    Amazingly well-built fence! It is so interesting to see cultural differences play out on video. Where I live you would never, ever put horses in a pasture with that kind of fencing: one kick, one shoe caught on the metal, and it's all over for the horse. In fact, if the farm inspector comes and sees this kind of fence around a horse pasture, you might get fined. But you would not hesitate to use that kind of netting for wildlife fences along highways etc., to keep moose and deer away from the cars. It is intriguing to see that this form of fencing is used more broadly in Australia.

    Fencing makes good neighbours they say. I'm having one built in the suburbs but my builder said there's no pre-treated fencing available in Ontario at the moment. So we have to wait until the product comes in.
