Yes, all of the concrete reenforcement wire I've ever seen has had a layer of rust on it. My daddy started using it to fence the deer out of his garden (which has worked perfectly). Pretty much we use hog wire topped with a strand of barbed wire or either a 4-strand barbed wire fence to keep things IN. Anytime we want to keep something OUT, Pops always uses concrete reenforcement wire.
The only reason I got the danged net wire in the first place was because I happened to be at a farm supply store, I needed to get those chestnut seed in the ground, I just happened to have my trailor and I just happened to be parked by where they keep their net wire. i.e. It was an impulse buy.
The electric fence that I just bought will represent the first such fencing that has ever been used on our farm.
I sure hope it does a better job than those net wire cages.
