I would be careful if it's plastic..If these little stinkers want out they will certainly find a way....Like..chewing.I was also going to suggest the short picket fence...and I think it would look nice too...I hope the plastic chicken wire works for you..

She'll still be under supervision, but this way I don't have to worry about her wandering mind. She doesn't seem to care that it's up; she just sniffs elsewhere!

Very clever

I did that on my front porch because Rebel decided to go thru the railing and down the steps to the road

I used screen wire and thumb tacks.

These little guys are soooo smart and sooooo fearless!

Neecy · 07-04-2007, 10:49 AM

I'm impressed... and it looks so nice and neat

Tytainea · 07-04-2007, 11:11 AM

Thats exactly what I did a few months ago....works geat except I have to change the ties at the bottom every so often becasue some little fur monster keeps chewing them off

This is a great idea. We are going to the beach in Sept and staying in a 10th floor condo which has a 52' balcony. I was concerned someone would let Stella out by accident and she'd explore. Think you may have just solved my problem because it really isn't that noticable.

We did the screen like on a screen door on our deck which is off the ground about 6 feet too because they will chew and bite through. Mine even try the metal screen, so we check it often and my DH covered the edges with molding strips. It's barely visible when you look at it and they can't hang out through rails or be tempted to jump when rabbits, squirrels and such come into the yard.

I did the same thing using garden netting. It created a curtain between the bottom of the deck railing and the deck. Gracie does not go near it. I still supervise her just in case.

Great Idea! I also had that issue with my raised back porch, but I had two superyard xt's that I was no longer using, so I just opened it up and tied each end to the railing.. I'll post a pic tonight of it

JeanieK · 07-04-2007, 12:59 PM

I used the plastic gutter guards for my decik dilemma. I just stapled them on.

Sadie's Mom · 07-04-2007, 01:24 PM

That's what I have. And the apartment people don't get mad about it either becasue they don't even realize it's there!

crystalsmom · 07-04-2007, 01:35 PM

Great idea!! I had the same problem once and used pexiglass and cut it to fit.
