   great point. longevity. the chicken wire i used is galvanized and what   
   is on the ground (covered with mulch) has been there since spring 2020   
   and is still intact. a few more years it would start disintegrating. i've   
   decided to use galvanized expanded metal instead. it'll come out from the   
   chain link fence 1 foot, and up the fence at a right angle from the ground   
   several inches. thanks.
