How can I build a cheap, fence to enclose my dog in our backyard?

by Cherie

Answered

We rent our home, but my poor dog needs to have it fenced so she can spend more time outside. She is a English Bully and is strong. I would need it to be removeable since we rent and would like to take it with us eventually. Thanks.

You could use pallets, held in place by T-post. This way, whenever you move just pull them up and go. Plus if you move to a fenced yard you could recycle the pallets to make patio furniture or fencing for a garden!

  That's a great idea Paulett. Yeah, we would definitely take them if we move. Can that be made double decker that way?

a strong dog needs a strong fence. Don't scrimp on this. If you dog should get out and hurt someone the strength of thefence could be an issue in a lawsuit.

  Good advice Mary. Thanks, I'm sure my husband will make it strong. Our dog is very sweet but you never know. Better safe than sorry.

100% pallets - it's the cheapest because you can get the pallets themselves for free!

  You can drive by grocery stores at delivery time (early morning) - they often have from trucks. You can also post on Craigslist and see if anyone has - that works for a lot of Hometalkers!
