Re: Is chicken wire safe?

I see that you've decided not to use the chicken wire but for any other future references from one who did put it on their condo before knowing, I'll still add my input.
Also know that I am in NO WAY condoning the use of chicken wire.

The Chicken wire is safer for adult pigs over a 2lb aprox. weight if used with other precautions. Such as, ends need to be "consealed", not taped or something draped over them, a wood "trim" can be stapled to conseal them securely and to further, in the cage design process, to have the coroplast run up the side where the "trim" is.
This wire also is not a good option for cutting holes in, to connect cages, etc.. and able to safely conseal the new edges made.

Again, I don't condone the use of the wire, but if someone is determined to use it, please make it as safe as possible.
