I'm looking to build a fence in the back so Kimo doesn't have to be chained all the time back there.
Chain link seems pretty labor intensive. So does a wooden fence. So I'm thinking maybe putting up a garden fence. That should be enough to keep Kimo in, since the flimsy temporary fence in front of the garage seems to be working (except for the few times Kimo knocked it over when he got excited when Donna comes over). It might not work for Hershey since he figured how to push the "gate" open to get out. Hope Kimo wasn't watching.
Doing a quick search on the internet, I came to gardenfence.com and they have a section on light-duty pet fences. A 3-1/2 foot high x 50 foot fence kit costs $169.00 (deluxe $189). 6 foot x 50 foot costs $295. (This last one looks the same as their deer fence. Acutally it's the same product but they market it for difference uses.)
That's a lot cheaper than chain link. And installation looks much easier. No digging holes and pouring concrete. You just pound the stakes into the ground. I think a chain link gate alone would cost as much as (or more than) the whole kit. Plus they say it installs in about 30 minutes. So maybe 3 or 4 hours for me.
Here's a review. Sounds promising to me.
