In all types of Barbed wire fencing, the risks of small animals and birds entering the farm and damaging the plantations are always high. This is even if there is natural fencing. However in chain-link fencing, the entry of all small /medium animals are totally restricted.
-
In Barbed wire fencing, the affect is not immediate, WHEREAS, in Chain-link fenching the advantage is immediate. Barbed wire fencing tends to loosen and sag, after some time. Please note that the plantations require immediate protection when they are planted AND BARBED WIRE FENCING DOES NOT PROVIDE THIS IMMEDIATE PROTECTION. Natural fencing takes long time to grow.

When a farmer invests his NEW plants and energy in his farm, the security should be immediate and not on the long term periods AND NATURAL FENCING DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMEDIATE PROTECTION. However, in such circumstances chain-link fencing provides an immediate solution (like in case of plant Nurseries, small fruit plants, vegetables and so on). Commercial farmers cannot afford to rely on natural fenching or barbed wire fencing, wherein even IF two goats or pigs or rabbits or cows enter the farm, THEN such animals can destroy the farm within days.
