I'm finally getting the work done on my home, and with that comes a huge 6ft privacy fence. I'm so excited, this will be the first winter I don't have to freeze my tush off with taking out dogs.
Saying that, the dogs are the main and probably only, reason for this fence. We have been trying to figure out ways to put it so I can just open the door and let them out, but this is proving to be a challenge. The contractor had a good idea of putting up a deck, adding gates to it and allowing me to let the dogs out this way. But, I'm too leery about them seeing something too fun and hopping out the deck. I don't know, maybe I'm over reacting.
But what I'm trying to get at is I seen on this show [cats from hell] where these people wanted to confine their cat to the back patio, but the cat kept jumping and climbing the fence [duh]. To solve it, the guy put some netting tilted inwards on the top of the fence. Even though the cat could probably get through it if they really wanted to, it gave some illusion that they couldn't and the cat no longer jumped the border.
My question is would something like this work for dogs too, if I put something like that on just the deck? It is very important that my dogs don't get out and safe. Otherwise we are going to extend the fence around the deck part, but I am a little concerned this will look tacky, or funky. It just seems like it would be overkill and not look proper. I'm all ready fencing in the huge lot to my side, but to fence in the front too? I'm just so uneasy about this all.
