Welded Wire Fencing is an efficient and fairly easy to install fence compared to some types of fencing. It’s sturdier then other mesh fencing and does not need to be stretched out which really cuts down on the work. This fencing is pretty light yet durable, its composition is simply wire welded together to make a fence. There are several gauges you can choose from depending on your needs, obviously the higher the gauge the more durable the fence.
A welded wire fence has many uses. It works well if you are looking for something to line and protect your property. Perhaps you are trying to create an enclosed space to keep your children or pets safe. Another great use is creating a barrier around your garden to keep animals from getting in or burrowing through.
It can be installed above or below ground. If you are trying to keep out burrowing animals and critters, this can be buried below the ground for protection of gardens and whatnot. You should be able to use either metal T-posts or wooden posts, both will work. These are less expensive than a wooden privacy fence and some chain link fences. The amount of labor needed is generally pretty light and should probably only take 2 days to complete the project depending on how long the concrete that you are using takes to set.

This is better if you are looking for sturdy but short welded wire fence. Keeping smaller critters out of a garden or setting up a perimeter for a small dog or other animal, this is perfect.

This is a good gauge too but its up to your discretion on the style you want and need for your project.
