Further advice on the construction of fences and gates can be obtained from a Forestry Research Technical Guide 'Forest Fencing'.Īn electric fence designed to keep out rabbits may be practicable in some gardens. This type of fence is available from agricultural merchants. Gates and other entrances must also be rabbit-proof and kept closed when not in use. Where this is the case, the erection of rabbit-proof fences and gates should be considered. Ideally fences should be of 2.5cm (1-1¼in) wire mesh and 120-140cm (48-54in) in height. The bottom 30cm (1ft) is sunk below ground level, with the lower 15cm (6in) bent outwards to stop rabbits tunnelling underneath. Rabbits usually enter gardens from adjoining common land, farms or woods.
