Backyard Fencing Ideas
Friday, July 29th, 2011
How do I get my small dogs to stop digging under the backyard fence and running away??
I have a very large backyard with a 6 foot wooden privacy fence. My 2 small beagle mixes keep finding areas under the fence to dig under. They keep getting out of my yard. I can’t put anything to line the whole fence so they can’y get under then fence: it’s too large. I can only patch the holes they’ve already made!!! Please help me with ideas…..
i have a JRTerrier mix who did the same thing……i tried putting 10 lb concrete blocks, end to end, tightly with no gaps, along the base of the fence and he moved the blocks !!…i switched to the bigger blocks that weigh 21 lbs each, and that did the trick !!…..i already had two landscape timbers against the fence secured with 2 or 3 rebars(iron bars) and he dug under the timbers & between the rebars and got out !!! only the 21 lb concrete bars did the job !!!…you can buy them at Lowe’s or Home Depot….they are blocks of concrete that are like 18″ long, 6-8 ” wide, and 2-3″tall, they only cost like $1. 25 to $ 1.50 each, i believe…you lay them flat, end to end, 18″ long laying flat with the 6-8″ wide part, up against the fence, standing 2-3″ above the ground….make sure there are no gaps, laying them end to end, 18″part, laid flat up, very tightly, end to end, so they cannot get a toehold & move them apart !!! this will solve your problem & keep your yard secure, from your dogs getiing out, and no other dogs, able to tunnel under & enter your yard !!! it is very affordable and easy to do, since you are placing them, above ground, up against the fence, with no digging or cementing involved !!!….any other questions about this, email me !!…good luck to you !! this will keep your dogs secure, and keep them from getting out & getting run over by cars !!!
