We have lots of rabbit fencing (and lots of rabbits) and I'm forever
trying to come up with a practical way of strimming close up to the
wire netting.

For short sections I have put tanalised timber boards either side of
the fence at ground level and this works well but it's relatively
expensive and not practical for long sections.

Has anyone here come up with a good solution to this problem?

Increase the idle speed of the strimmer (If petrol) and strim as usual on a
fast idle rather than full revs.
Otherwise as someone else says Weedol it

Some of the current strimmers have a wire frame that can be folded
down to limit how close you can get to an object - mainly aimed at
trees and shrubs but would solve this problem too. I'm sure a simple
add-on could be made to any existing strimmer.
