I have 2 comments on this subject. First, schools I attended in the early thirties were farm fenced, about 6X8 squares. These were country schools.
Secondly, I have used screen wire for chain link fence and it worked great. Cut strips at 45 degrees, about 6 scale feet wide. Then pull on the ends and it not only narrows down, but makes it into smaller squares. Works for me. Also, on the metal screen, pull a long strand from the edge. The kinking in it makes it look like good barbed wire. Paint can make it look rusty, and it is easy to roll up coils of it.
