you just gave this house renting, low income, short on time college girl the best damn temporary fence solution I've seen so far. I've been scouring the internet for WEEKS for something that was feasible for me to do. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Glad I was able to help you out. Thanks for watching. Subscribe if you haven't already. Maybe I'll post another video that can make your life easier.
👋perfect! I'm heading to Alabama first week of April to help my friend after the tornado ripped through their property. They have two adult Great Danes that have been sequestered in their downstairs basement. Her husband is very ill and is unable to walk so I'm going to do what needs to be done to help a little. I plan to build a dog run exactly like this so the dogs have access to the outdoors and some grass and yet safe. I'm also going to look for some heavy gauge garden blanket material to post up from the roofline down to the fence to provide shade from the heat. Your video could not have shown up to me at a better time. thanks for showing it😊
This is PERFECT for what I need!! I just moved into my grandparents very old house and am need of a dog run without spending a lot of money and digging holes! Thank you!👍🏼
Goodness this is exactly what I needed for my dog. Simple and to the point. Luckily I only need 2 panels for the sides of our home. Trying to keep our escape artist in the back yard area.
My sister and I built a cat fence using this method. On the corners, we used those braces that have a bunch of holes instead of trying to make sure we didn't put the screws in sideways and split the boards.
I wish I could post pics in the comments my gate came out awesome. I stained the fence redwood stain and added cross bars down it, couldn't be happier.
Thank you for this idea. We have a pitbull that's still young and driving me crazy, lol. He already destroyed half of the backyard ☹️🥺. I'll try this idea and hopefully he doesn't knock it over. I'll find a way to reinforce it. P.S. I love your sense of humor. You got yourself a new subscriber. Happy new year. God bless you.
Hi this is really helpful! What if you’re trying to fence in an area of your yard that you isn’t near grass so you can’t put those stabilizer poles in? The part we are trying to extend is from the house door to edge of garage where fenced in area starts, and that area is all concrete driveway. Thanks!
Need to free my 3 yr old pup for life. Thx to your easy idea, ( after searching) she will be free from chain leash, what ever else is keeping her from her runs.
It is not treated. Although I would say it depends on your application. If it is going to be on dirt I might go with at least the bottom board treated. Thanks for watching!
How big is your dog, I have 2 that are about 89lbs and one that is 6lbs. I am trying to find something to put up where my big one will stop attacking the fence between my house and the neighbors, she has slammed her head through the slats and I know my neighbors don't like it.
Thanks for watching! We have been very happy with this! As some of the comments have pointed out, if you have a pups that jumps high it might get out since the fence is only 3ft high. I haven't had an issue with my dog or some smaller species of dogs, but FYI.
Thank you for making this video. You've inspired my little one and I to build something similar.. We were just wondering if you thought this would be effective in holding up a German shepherd and a pit bull?
I would say probably not big dogs like that. They could jump over it pretty easy I would think. My dog was old and had no motivation to pursue jumping or digging. The fence has held up and we use it for all my family’s and friends dogs. My dog was also an inside dog and we used the fenced area for bathroom breaks and time for him to just go outside for a bit. Good luck with you project and to make it work for you. Thanks for watching!
Love the video.. I was wondering if I could do something like that on top of my deck because I got a Doberman and its not high enough so I think he can jump of and out.
That's true. This was an easy fix for me because my dog is 14 years old and isin't jumping up or over anything anymore. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching and subscribing!
This was some metal welded wire 3ft tall fencing. Home Depot has all types of this at their store. Lowe's also has some as well. They come in 25ft, 50ft, and even 100ft rolls.
@@marissalejune Just some old pieces of pipe I had laying around. You could use metal pipe, or those landscape metal posts, the ones you see around new trees, or even pvc.
Marissa LeJune get some heavy duty T posts. It’s what I plan on using, since I have 2 that’s been holding up a 6’ section of wood Fencing where the 4x4x6’ post broke at the ground, since last summer.
Still rocking and rolling. No issues. Been up for a couple years now. Made a larger wire fenced in area on the grass, but the wood portion has performed better than I expected. Thanks for watching!
If your doggies are digging holes around the bottom of your fence, consider 36” chicken wire; fold it in half and run 18” up on the fence and 18” on the ground. They tried, but my labs never got out again.
Really depends on how active your dog is. German Shepherd's could jump the 3 ft fence that is in this video. If your dog is older like mine you really shouldn't have to worry about them jumping over it.
Sheesh my German shepherd jumped for 4 feet fence I had to replace and get a new one...but now I have to get a dog pen cause he finds a way to get out.
That's welded wire and it does NOT compare to chicken wire. Any chicken owner will tell you that chicken wire is to keep chickens in but welded wire is strong, sturdy and designed to keep predators out.
What keeps your dog from digging under the fence where the grass is at ? Lucky for you, you have a smaller dog. My dog would be jumping over the fence in no time. I am building a fence made out of concrete block on footers. With metal fence sections made of 1" x 1" aluminum or steel. It is only way to keeping my dog in my yard. Until I get it built, he is tied with dual chains to a large oak tree that isn't going anywhere. Good video though.
@@richardbutch1617 most dogs probably won't dig through chicken wire. But yeah for my dogs I have to build an actual base to keep them from digging. I think I'll use 2x6s along the base, attach fence to it, and full in the ground with gravel and maybe 2x2x1 concrete slabs. To avoid actually pouring concrete, I mean
Really depends on how long of a fence you need. It was free for me since this is a hand me down from my sister. Supplies are much cheaper compared to a real fence. Also depends on how high you want it and what type of fencing material you end up using.
Didn't pay anything as this was a hand me down. It's some 2x4's depending on length and height you want, and some chicken wire, hog wire or any other metal fencing material you want to use. A gate latch and I used some poles to hold it in place.
Gabe, depends on where you live; depends on whether you use pine or cedar. Even treated wood doesn’t last like it used too so I’m going with 12’ cedar boards cut down since mine will be permanent, right now cedar boards are on sale for $17.00 each. I only need to replace 50 ft so it won’t cost too much. Better than paying $2-3000.00 which is wha I was quoted by 2 different ppl.
I ended building quite a bit larger area for him. But to answer your question, to fence in a large area, it takes more money and more time to mow around etc. Thanks for watching!
I'm gonna do the same thing for my dogs temporarily, since it will cost me 4k to fence my yard in. Thats alot of money to drop down plus 550 for a survey. Great video definitely gonna help when I start it
Not sure really. Its a light gauge wire. Depends on what kind of dog you have if you need to upgrade the strength. I haven't had any issues. Thanks for watching!
Ah yeah this won't work in my yard. This might be no dig for you, but it wouldn't be for me. I can't pound any kind of stake into the ground more than three or four inches before I hit rock. Doesn't matter where or how deep i dig in my 1.5 acre yard, it's all freaking rock. I hate it. I spent 30 grand on a fence last year after buying this house and moving cross country. Then my dumb ass got a german sheperd puppy. Neediest freaking animal ever. When i don't play with him or walk him, he destroys everything in the yard. He's tore siding off my house. He tore out an electrical box that sits out in the yard. He pulls out my blackberry and raspberry plants. He tears out my mini fences around my garden beds and air conditioner. He spulls out my onions and eats my sunflowers. Now I want to fence off a smaller part of the yard for him so he can't get to all my important stuff.

Great inspiration. The work, the clean specifics. So many here dont have that work ethic
I appreciate that!
Perfect
Dog will defeat me enjoy and keep and kid in control of going outside 😊
In the process of building, thanks for the simple solution to keeping my dog in the yard buddy!

Of all the diy's, yours is the one I'm going with. Please tell me, is your wood treated?Thanks!
It is not treated. Although I would say it depends on your application. If it is going to be on dirt I might go with at least the bottom board treated. Thanks for watching!
Dog is 14 years-old😯. He's probably saying to himself, "You should have built this fence 13 years ago!🤣🤣🤣. Good to have him run around off a chain.
Yeah such a shame 😞
I think the fence was put up because a puppy is on its way. Good little project.
How big is your dog, I have 2 that are about 89lbs and one that is 6lbs. I am trying to find something to put up where my big one will stop attacking the fence between my house and the neighbors, she has slammed her head through the slats and I know my neighbors don't like it.
Yeah. Mine is 45lbs. You might need to add some 2x4s across your fence panels for added strength and security.
Great video for inspiration! I am making a catio for my three legged 18 year kid cat :)
Good luck with your project. Thanks for watching.

you think maybe if it’s a bit taller? i’m considering building one as well for a husky pup
I need this for my yard smh 🤦♀️ what type of material did you use to build this?
Looks like 2x4 galvanized wire livestock fencing and 2x4 lumber
Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Wow your backyard looks beautiful and huge! How big is it?
We enjoy the space. Thank you. Couple acres

Where did you get that opening song? I hear it on lots of videos but can't find it. Great job on the fence BTW!
Thanks for sharing! What type of metal was it that you used to hold your panels up?? Can I get them at Home Depot!?

Nice. Did he dig under the grass area?
No, he did not. He was also an old dog and just needed a place to use the restroom. Lol.
Is it still holding up? If so how long has it been since u set up
Still rocking and rolling. No issues. Been up for a couple years now. Made a larger wire fenced in area on the grass, but the wood portion has performed better than I expected. Thanks for watching!
@@littleaboutalot7478 ok Forsure will be trying it this weekend. Thanks for the update.
great job!
Thank you
Omg thank you so much for sharing! We have three doggies and ughhh the holes are endless!

Did you add wire to each panel individually ? Don
I did not. But it don't see why you couldn't. I added wire to two panels, so I would have some flexibility. Thanks for watching!
What would you estimate the cost of building this?
Around $200. Really depends on the length you go with and the fencing material.
Did you attach the one side to the house?
I did not. Just used cinder blocks to hold it. My dog wasn't a jumper in his old age.
What keeps your dog from digging under the fence where the grass is at ? Lucky for you, you have a smaller dog. My dog would be jumping over the fence in no time.

The fence is over the patio. The concrete keeps him from digging out.
@@littleaboutalot7478 I am talking about the dog run part of it. The part where your video shows your dog going to the bathroom in the grass.
@@richardbutch1617 nothing under the fence. He's 14 yr old and doesn't dig. You can stake down the fence or put chicken wire down to prevent digging.
@@littleaboutalot7478 Thanks for replying. This would not work for my dog. My dog like most dogs digs.

What is thickness of wood please x
Standard 2x4’s.
Do I need a back piece of wood?
Not sure what you mean. But the 4 pieces that make the frame are the only pieces of wood that I needed to build this. Thanks for watching!
My dog would knock this over with one bump lol.
What is the gauges for the wire?
Not sure really. Its a light gauge wire. Depends on what kind of dog you have if you need to upgrade the strength. I haven't had any issues.
Thanks for watching!
Looks like welded wire not chicken wire…

No. You're visible.
