Not much salt air in Cairo either, and I've had chain link fence around 
my horses for the past two years with no problems either. Mine is 2 
meters tall and set in brick to keep my dogs in and the others out. The 
horses couldn't care less. The divisions between paddocks are iron pipe 
and other than horses chipping paint off, they cause no problems either.

When my guys were in their previous stable there was a paddock made of 
casuarina wood that was held together by nylon rope. Morad tried 
everything to keep the paddock together but no amount of hammers and 
nails worked. Finally he just tied the posts together and the horses 
spend their days untying it. I've driven in to see a stallion standing 
in the wreckage of the paddock just watching life go by. They never go 
anywhere once it's dismantled...almost as if they are waiting for 
someone to come put it back together again.  The new thing in horse 
toys....
