Re: Fencing help.


I am really wanting to catproof our garden..hubby won't allow me to have any of this sort of fencing as he says it will look like a zoo I am getting really stressed out about this as I want my cats to have access to outside but really do want to confine them to my garden

What about a smaller animal pen rather than fencing the whole garden?

Re: Fencing help.


You'll have to talk him round Fran!
I would think you could grow 'things' to hide the fence/mesh. Russian vine grows quickly in summer, or the Montana clematis.
If it ever transpired that we had to live in a non-cat friendly road I would cat proof my garden.

Is the 'folded inward' fence no good? At least you wouldn't have to have a top on that. I can imagine that being a pain for collecting leaves etc

Re: Fencing help.


He is usually so easy going but he is quite adamant about this. I suggested growing foliage to hide the fence. We have been in dispute re this for quite some time now. Hopefully come summer I may have been able to talk him round but I am not holding my breath

Re: Fencing help.


I understand totally how you feel Fran, having lost Darcy to an RTA I am paranoid about Wiggy getting out.

I have just found this, what do you think?

I am very interested in this Dawn...and it is versatile too, so the two cats that I have that may not take to being restricted to just my garden would be allowed to wander out whilst keeping the others in the garden...just what I am looking for. Any idea of cost?
