What is a good cheap way to border off a very large property if you dont have the money to put up a fence?
Question:I dont have enough money to put up a fence around the whole property, but I need something to keep those pesky neighbors off my land without getting violent. They try to park their big rigs on my land when Im not looking and then try to use it to get to another property when they wanna go somewhere cause it takes forever to go around. I dont care how time consuming the wall or whatever idea you have is. It just has to be cheap.
Answers:
Bamboo. Grows fast, but can get out of control if left unattended.
You could put up one of those cheap electric fences that are basically just posts and one strand of electric wire or tape. You could also try planting cheap bushes around the perimeter of your property, but that could be expensive.
Put wooden stakes every ten feet or so about 3 feet high. Tie twine from stake to stake, then hang NO TRESPASSING signs (make them yourself if you can't afford fancy ones) between each stake. If they run over them, call the police.
Lavender bushes worked for us, they grow fast and as you trim them you can use the off cuts to grow more.
How about Arborvitae 'Green Giant' It is pretty cheap, grows fast and tall. You can get them for $5ea at WM, 3 or 4 out of each pay and you will have great EVERGREEN privacy fence in no time!

Barbed wire and posts.
are there trees on the property ine? use them as posts or just drive a post every 40 or 50 feet and run 1 strand of wire around near the top of the posts and hang some no tresspassing signs also in some states you can use a purple posting paint that means no tresspassing rather than hanging signs. might even accidently spill some roofing nails where they like to drive thru your property
