I have seen polypipe threaded though taut wire on top of a solid fence to deter a fence scaler but would it be as effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poly pipe is often coiled and won't really spin all that well. 50mm PVC pipe, end caps with holes drilled in the centre and wire fed through and strained tight would be a easy alternative.

Tazar Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yes Razorblade I was thinking pvc pipe. End caps are a good idea, thanks. It may be hard to span over 6 metres lengths though? More thought required :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Three 2m lengths over that span would still have much the same effect. If anything having shorter lengths adjacent would be less stable than one continuous length so possibly even more deterrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a dog can get its elbows over, or hits with enough forward momentum and the right angle, it's over and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I know of people who have used the smaller version of these with cats to prevent them from leaving their yard and found them very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would probably be expensive but very effective I have never had an issue with a fence jumper thankfully. Mine don't even go outside if the gate is left open of their own accord. Would be very frustrating for an owner & potentially could be dangerous deadly for the dog too if not stopped.

Works here they cant go over, through or under - usually takes about 6 weeks and then they don't try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 That's fabulous Steve, don't have a jumper now but did many years ago and wish we'd known about it then, he had to be chained for a short while when we were staying on acreage as the neighbours dog taught him how to jump the fence, this would have solved all our problems. Definately something I'll be keeping in the back of my mind if anyone ever tells me they are having problems in that regard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 For the sake of adopting families, fence jumpers and escape artists should not be rehomed. It is not fair on the adopting families to put them through it, not matter how well prepared they think they are. I will never rehome a fence jumper again, all fence jumpers and escape artists are given their wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippets and Staffords are notorious escape artists and as much as it pains me, if one comes into care, it doesn't leave. There are so many dogs out there that don't have issues and need help, there's no point wasting precious resources, potentially giving rescue a bad name and breaking the hearts of a new family. I rehomed one that I thought was going to the right place, that being an inner city home with no yard, which meant no fences to jump. This one decided to squeeze through less than 10cm security bars on a window open a fraction and bugger off down a main road. Never again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
