Welded Wire - That is a rigid wire arranged In the vertical and horizontal row that normally used for light-weight applications, such as confining small animals or protecting poultry or gardens.

Another type of wire fence is known as a Field fence that is used for cattle hogs and other large livestock. when we talk about the Horse fence that is similar to welded wire fencing but is smooth on both sides to prevent livestock from scratching themselves.
