Fencing questions

Is that going to work? I'd have thought it would pulverise in short order when subjected to the wind rattling back and forth?

There are such things as fencing wedges:

yes, next door's fence rattled after they replaced panels, until I cut some wedges and bashed them in while they were out, I've also seem metal clips, e.g.

That may be an exaggeration.

I've seen both dead by the roads around here. Judging by the spoor we only get hedgehogs in the garden, but there are badger trails in the area.

I've seen neither alive.

Friends on the English/Welsh borders had 4 hedgehogs regularly visiting their garden every night. However, their local Hedgehog charity had too many underweight hogs at just before winter that wouldn't have survived hibernation or a cold winter. They were looking for volunteers to over winter many of them. Not necessary a cheap undertaking as it required something like a heated shed and 4 months of food.

Only thing I've seen alive or dead round here are badgers. And bloody moles

This has just appeared on one of the groups I read - type in your postcode for hedgehog holes/sightings in your area. I think the figures at the bottom of the map are for the whole country.

I should probably give those a go: one concern is the panels changing shape with temperature and humidity. Those springs look like they might expand to take up the slack, while a wooden wedge might not.
