New Fence Material Reviewed - August 15, 2006

The Border Fence Project, which has now built over 1 mile of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, is now considering new wire mesh material for the barbed-wire fencing we repaired and constructed. As some of our chain link fencing is occasionally cut through, we want to offer a solution which is almost impossible to cut or climb.

This new 4 mesh x 4 mesh has square apertures only 1/4" wide with galvanized wire 1.0 mm in diameter, and because the aperture is so small, it is almost impossible to access each wire with wire cutters small enough to enter each aperture, otherwise causing intruder to have to make hundreds of cuts for a sizeable hole for human entry. The mesh cannot be climbed with fingers and hands, and even a hatchet is of no consequence when striking at the material. The supplier offers this mesh at $53.40 per 1-meter x 30-meter roll, and if we double each roll for a 2-meter high fence and add shipping costs, we are looking at only $1.40/foot, keeping overall fencing materials' cost below $2.00/foot. When adding no more than $3/foot for camera costs, we can keep our promise and build overall high-tech fencing for under $5/foot. If you know any metals supplier who might donate material or sell it cheaper, please let me know.

Once fencing on ranch near Jacumba, CA, has proven to seriously slow down invaders and knock their numbers to a trickle, we will be confident in setting up overt and covert cameras, which are still going through some bug-fixes now..

We invite you to visit BorderFenceProject.com as your help and donations are greatly appreciated in our drive to help meet our goals. Thank you for reading and being a part of our unprecedented mission.
