In Costa Rica, 95% of the farmers fence with living trees instead of dead posts... Farmers establish living fences by planting large cuttings about 2.5 m long and 8-20 cm in diameter, attaching several strands of barbed wire to them... Living fences are usually pruned once a year to keep them in good shape and to avoid damage to the wire... Living fences are comparatively cost-effective, need careful establishment and regular maintenance, are long-lived, provide numerous products and benefits besides fencing, are difficult to remove, and are very popular among poor farmers. Dead fences, by contrast, are expensive, require much labor to establish, need some maintenance, are of limited durability, are easy to remove, provide no other products, but are more prestigious than living fences. 3, record 4, English, - live%20fence

Les clôtures mixtes allient les avantages du béton et ceux du grillage. Elles constituent une protection efficace et s’effacent dans le paysage. Leur hauteur est au minimum de 1 m. Elle peut atteindre 2, 50 m et plus dans le cas de clôture défensive. Ces clôtures comportent toujours une partie pleine au niveau du sol ou légèrement encastrée dans ce dernier, la partie supérieure étant du grillage, des fils ou des barbelés, le tout maintenu par des poteaux. 1, record 5, French, - cl%C3%B4ture%20mixte
