Strati cation and atness

Knotted wire fencing, e.g. for enclosing a cultivated or uncultivated region which may be traversed by animals or other creatures of various sizes, comprises longitudinal (horizontal) and transverse (vertical) wires forming a mesh and tied together at the junctions or intersections of the two arrays of wires. The length of the transverse (vertical) wires periodically changes along the fencing relative to the maximum breadth thereof so that some wires extend the full breadth (height) of the fence while others extend from the bottom thereof only partly over the height of the fencing. The shorter transverse wires have a length which differs from that of the full-length transverse (vertical) wires by the height of one mesh.
