I have finished the inverted fencing today, and I hope it works. I cant see how they can get out. Scooter I let out of the front door, he never goes off and was desperate for a wee but never goes in the garden, he has now got to learn to come to the front door, because for almost 2hrs this evening he shouted on next doors shed roof "I CANT GET BACK HELP!!"

I'll let you know how it goes.

p.s Very expensive job, cost £65.00!:-D

Will be really interested to see how this looks.
Did you design/build it yourself Dawn, or was it a kit?
From the cost I'd guess the former?

I cant picture it so I need photo's. There again I am a bit thick at times:roll: . I could do with something like that for my garden easpecially if it stops cats getting in. I think I'll tell my neighbour, she has a terrible fear of cats.

Well, Scooter DEFINATELY cannot get out and he defianately cant get back in when he goes round the other way! He has learned in just a day to come back to the front door, clever puss! I watched him last night try 3 different places to climb out but he couldnt, as he climbed the fence he reached the wire and couldnt get any further, he reaches it with his head if you know what I mean. Here are a couple of pics, it was dead easy to do, just make brackets for the wire to be fixed on, I did 10 inches deep (down the fence) by 8 inches (for the wire to sit on) then overhung the wire a further 2 inches, so should anything touch the edge it gives. I tacked the wire along the fence top and that was it!

The brackets had to be shorter on the top pic fence because of the arris rail.

looking good!!!! if it wasn't for the field at the back of our property that Arthur loves to hunt mice in I would seriously consider something like this :)

Brill idea Dawn...might try something like this myself but would have to look to higher fences and actually add fences in places where there are just walls..

Quite straightforward then and not too hard to do at all, I would not think.

And I imagine it blends in well too hardly noticable. Good thinking Dawn.:D
