That fence won't keep rabbits out, well not Irish rabbits. Rabbits well come to the fence and burrow under it, that's what they do. The fence has to be buried 15cm (6in) down and 15cm out (in the direction the rabbits are approaching). What will happen is the rabbit will approach the fence and burrow. It will meet the buried wire. End of dinner time for Mr Rabbit.

Thanks tons, David, this is exactly what I was looking for, for a dog fence. Your supplies look less expensive than some other fences and I, the girish girl I am, can probably put this up without too much trouble. Thanks for your expertise in showing how to put it up!

@SuperGjose : For slugs, buy those disposable round metal pie pans. Pour some cheap beer in them & place them in your garden. Slugs are attracted to beer. They'll take a bath in it & go to slug heaven. You'll just need to "empty" the pan once in a while & add more beer. It works!
