Fence (for dog) build post/rail vs buy chain link | Page 2 | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

Kvr,

Thanks, I do need to keep in mind the first purpose it to give the dog a place to spend time outside and to run.

What do you think of the fence I posted but using only a top and a bottom rail ? In other words reduce the cost etc, by removing some of the material ?

Hm looks like the style of fence you posted would go up pretty easy and straight forward.

No problems with digging at the bottom ?

Thanks for another option.

Trying to sort this out, hire fence company, or maybe try something like we are talking about in the backyard first, and see what I learn or need to change.

And remember, you are trying to help this little bugger.

So thanks for advice, she is a digger and a jumper, can jump really high.

Update, not to let the forum down, but I am getting a quote for someone else to do the fence.

Hard to decide which points of the house and yard to cover, however, I am sure when the quotes come in the situation will start to sort itself out

I did think of one idea which would allow for the fence to provide a good bit of space for the dog in the back yard (also provide a barrier to all rear windows) and coverage under a car port (shelter for the dog), but through the use of a secondary gate "system" using some existing stairs and wrought iron I would also have a a barrier fence and dog between 2 out of 3 doors.

At a minimum that should slow or stop pesky door to door sales people, but most importantly provide some good shelter for the dog while outside. This set up would also lend itself to using a "doggy door" for times I may be away from home for long hours.

using the search function just found the door jamb armor topic, will check out.
