MasonJar Wrote:You might see if "page wire fence" (I think that is what it is called) was in production. That's the wire fence with the horizontal rectangular openings. I think (careful - that's dangerous!) that it was produced before chain link? IF true, you may be able to install your wire screen horizontally, instead of on a 45* angle...
I think the the openings in the screen would be too closely spaced for this type of fence, also known as Tite-Lock fencing. It's the kind seen around most farm fields, at least around here. It's not really suitable for a schoolyard, though. I think what Andrew is describing sounds more like hardware cloth, a wire mesh available with square openings in a variety of sizes from about 1/4" up to about 4" or 5". I think that if a fence was used, a board one would be most likely, vertical boards with no spaces between them.
