We used wooden spindles that were high enough so our dog couldn’t get his paws on the sill. Also placed them on th edge of the sill to help prevent that. We had wood on the top and bottom....just like a banister for stairs. It looked like the fencing was a natural look. We stained the fencing to match the window trim. Depending on how high your dog jumps will be the height of the fence. It sure saved my 8 feet of glass from being broken. Good luck with your project.Helpful Reply -

It looked like an ordinary wood railing. Just like a banister on the stairs. We picked rails that were turned. The ones we bought were standard size, about three feet high. For the window fence, we cut them in half. When the banister was added, it was just the right treatment to keep,the dog away from the glass.Helpful Reply -
