My mother lived in a high end gated community...all they were allowed to have were those iron fences. The HOA absolutely DENIED any addition to the iron fencing as being "unsightly and obstructive". I took chicken wire over there at night and did her patio area with the chicken wire against the iron fencing, and it was virtually invisable from the outside....the HOA never did detect it at all. I put decorative brick around the bottom of the fencing, sitting on top of the 8 inches of chicken wire that I let lay on the ground before it went up the fencing. This keeps them from going under the fencing, and under the chicken wire! Now, if an HOA is not an issue, you can get stuff that is thicker....little tiny squares about 1/4 - 1/2 inch squares......that wire fabric is stronger, thicker, and will last longer than just the chicken wire.
