I was looking for something to stop rabbits from getting into my garden bed and I KNEW a video would be out there with the ideal setup. This is that video!
This is by far the best diy solution out there, and super cheap. I actually have all the materials hanging around the shed. I just discovered your videos and I love how clearly they are narrated and well edited. Straight and to the point but still fun to watch. Thanks!
Hi Laura, I know this video is several years old but for me it is brand new and an awesome idea. Thank you for the simplistic styling and it’s uniqueness of the sliding slats. I will continue to tune in for more ideas. Thanks a bunch! ✌🏾
Hi! I know this video is like two years old, but thank you so much! Your tutorials are so easy to follow! My wife and I just purchased and moved into our home two weeks ago. We have three small dogs that have been trying to escape when we take them out, and this seems like a perfect solution! I can't wait to follow your other videos and learn more from you as my wife and I really want to get into gardening!
Great video! I almost cried watching it. My dog has been destroying all my beautiful plants. Thank you for taking the time to make this. The way you screwed those panels is so awesome- love that those panels are removable. Thank you!!!!!!
Great video. I had 150 pound Malamute that would make it her sole desire to lay in any garden or flower bed. For other critters, I put a string of solar powered blinking lights on my fence. Somehow the blinking random light patterns keep the animals (deer also) from wanting to cross the fence line. And my garden looks cool at night lol. God bless you.
Thank you for this video. We have rabbits galore in our yard. Last year I saw one leap up into a raised bed that was at least two feet off the ground. Hoping this will do the trick!
Thank you for sharing! I have deer prints in my beds. This is easy to build and looks nice. I love the removable part to not only do work in the garden but also depending on what I’m growing in each bed, not all will need the fence all season. Sometimes when the plants are mature enough, they leave them alone.
I'm planning to make something like this to keep cats out of my garden. I'll be adding one more panel for the top, maybe adding a latch for easy removal. Thanks for the video!
out-freaking standing !!... nothing fancy.. practical.. and can be remodified to something sturdier.. if needed. Of course you'll have posters screaming that it won't deter bears, deer, racoons and other large nibblers because they couldn't comprehend that this small project wasn't made for that ! Great job !
That's brilliant!! I wasn't sure how you were going to remove the sides until you showed the bendable metal strips! And it's easy for a person like me who isn't ready to buy a lot of equipment for building a simple fence to keep out my dogs Thanks for sharing. (And the puppy is adorable).
It is called 18V ONE+ Lithium-Ion Cordless Reciprocating Saw. Home Depot should have it. You need to purchase the batteries separately but keep an eye out for combo sales! And yes it’s a perfect size power saw!
I doubt a cat asthey are great climbers! I’m in Canada but this is what I would go buy www.homedepot.ca/product/dahl-all-round-strapping-steel-24ga-3-4-inch-x-10-feet/1000115948
Hi Laura! Is there any chance you can send a link of the mesh you bought? Or even just the size? I am trying to do this exactly how you did it.... thank u so much 💓
It was similar to this product peakproducts.com/en-ca/p/plastic-hardware-mesh/ I’m sorry I do not recall the length as I purchased a few rolls years ago for my other garden and I had leftover material. 36inches high is great, it will depend on how many panels you are going to make to required length! Measure your gardens and purchase enough for replacement panels in future!
Aaand of course is a husky! I came to find a solution to stop my dog (also a husky) from doing exactly that. Mine is 6 years old and serves as a proof that they never grow out of the puppy stage!
Haha Correct!! My latest fence was 5ft tall and next year I may as well enclose the entire thing ha! Every year I feel as though I am challenging them to jump higher and higher! And they gladly accept said challenge. But now instead of the gardens, they have chosen dig in the yard 🤦♀️
I suppose it would depend on the height of your garden bed, plus the panels. I also googled as it was a good question, seems they can jump over 2ft vertically!
Maybe try some motion sensor lights around the garden bed? Try to spray the surrounding area with vinegar to deter the raccoons. Maybe it will help? ruclips.net/video/bsMG7vseKRQ/видео.html
Just fine! But, I did leave them up during winter, and I tripped in snow falling onto one panel and broke the top piece of wood. In spring, I replaced the top bar no issues since. It was a quick fix.
Watch this ruclips.net/video/IczDsdSauik/видео.html just after the 1 min mark you’ll see the wood I used with sizing. This is a 4min build of this exact garden bed.
Many! Better ability to control the quality of soil, better drainage, warmer soil extending the season and often less weeds! Here is an even higher bed that has many additional benefits! ruclips.net/p/PLSzBLqVSba6Lm8ywIMU4DES02Si0c_yM2
Need a bigger fence? Why not try building with cheap bamboo? ➪ ruclips.net/video/7x-g0mvx4qw/видео.html
Is there a way you can measure it so there’s no corner gap or is that inevitable?
Bamboo sounds nice but they are not cheap
@@aqua9299 Gardening bamboo stakes are very reasonable. A pack of 15 at 4ft each costs $5, or 30 cents each. Perfect for cheap garden projects!

Amazing! Happy to be THAT video!

Nice

This makes me happy to hear! Thank you for this comment and for following along. Welcome to the garden!
This is an excellent video. Great idea, so simple! And the video is quick and to the point, well edited!
Thank you very much. I do appreciate the feedback!
Great video! I almost cried watching it. My dog has been destroying all my beautiful plants. Thank you for taking the time to make this. The way you screwed those panels is so awesome- love that those panels are removable. Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you very much! It has been one of my favourite fence styles I’ve made so far over the years! I do hope it works for you too.

Your Malamute very romantic. ❤
When your pup grabbed your ponytail!! So cute and funny. See why you did this! Lol
She's been a little troublemaker since day one! 30 seconds of her antics!
ruclips.net/user/shortshYUVV9Dpqvw?feature=share
Nice idea. That ponytail pull was the best 🤣👍🏻
Just BRILLIANT!!! Thank you! 😊
You’re welcome! Going to try?
Going to get the wood today! How big is the bed in your video?
I think I will use wire to keep out rabbits. Hope that will staple to the wood ok?😮
Thank you! I made these for my 12’ x 12’ garden to keep our new puppy out. They were easy to build and look nice.
I’m happy to hear this!
Huskys are so darn smart…he’s watching you build these fences & he is probably already planning how to get past them. 🤣
Haha oh yes and i have 2 smart huskies now too!
EXCELLENT!
OMG! You are GOD sent!! HUGE THANKS!!!!
Thank you for this video. We have rabbits galore in our yard. Last year I saw one leap up into a raised bed that was at least two feet off the ground. Hoping this will do the trick!
I’ve read rabbits can jump up to 2-4 feet. So if your bed is already 2ft then the taller fencing on top might work! Good luck!
Thank you for sharing. I’m new to gardening and I need st save money. This is a great idea! Thanks
You are so welcome! I hope you're having a great first gardening season.
The dogs antics, omg 😅🤣😂
😆 🐾
Thank you, I'll be trying this out. Very good video!
Thank you
Awesome idea. Thanks.
Glad you liked it! Did you make one for yourself?
Thank you for sharing! I have deer prints in my beds. This is easy to build and looks nice. I love the removable part to not only do work in the garden but also depending on what I’m growing in each bed, not all will need the fence all season. Sometimes when the plants are mature enough, they leave them alone.
May you can lay some mesh or shade fabric over the bed panels until the plants mature?
Watching from Trinidad and Tobago
Very cool.
Thanks for the idea. We made your fence today for our raised bed to keep the cats off.
Awesome! I’m not familiar with the habits of cats, so I hope it works for you! Good luck with the garden!
Of course it's a husky that's being a troublemaker!
That’s great! Thanks. And yes, I now have TWO troublemakers.
Love this! Exactly the concept I was looking for
So glad to hear! Thanks for watching.
HA i have 2 huskies. Beautiful!! thank y0u for the video
You’ll love this ruclips.net/user/shortshYUVV9Dpqvw?feature=share
@@lauracoteDIY 😂like for dog.❤

Now that is brilliant! Thank you so much for making this video.
Thanks and you’re welcome!
Fantastic!
Great Video 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
This is genius! Ill be doing this to keep the puppy out of my yard!
Great!

It did the job it was made for! Thank you for the comment :)

I’m very happy to hear! Good luck with your build. And thanks 🐾
Agree. I also wasn't sure how the sides where going to be removed. Bendable metal straps. I never heard about them before. Love it!
nice job, sister.
Amazing dog .❤
Aw thanks. Now I have two of them destroying my gardens haha
wonderful beauty ❤🦋🦋❤
Perfect!
Thanks! Will you try?
Exactly how I wanted thx for the video
Awesome!
Hi Laura thank you for your video your idea is brilliant! Where can I find the steel strapping that you used in your video?
Thank you! I picked this up at HomeDepot (or a hardware shop). It should be easy to find and comes in many sizes as well.
Brilliant!!👏👏💪👍
Thanks!!
Looks like you need a fence around you, too, cause your dog looks like a handful.😂😂 he's a cutie!!
haha... and now I have 2 huskies. My hands are very full lol
Great video! And very simple way to build a fence to keep critters out!! What kind of a mesh did you use? Is it plastic?
Thank you! Yes this is a roll of hard plastic mesh. Works well for simple projects.
The doggie ❤❤❤❤
Can you name the saw that you are using for me please. That perfect for small projects for me since I don't know how to use the big saw of my husband.
It is called 18V ONE+ Lithium-Ion Cordless Reciprocating Saw. Home Depot should have it. You need to purchase the batteries separately but keep an eye out for combo sales! And yes it’s a perfect size power saw!
Thank you for sharing. Do you think this can keep out cat? Can you put a link for the steel strapping? I couldn't find it on Amazon or Home Depot.
I doubt a cat asthey are great climbers! I’m in Canada but this is what I would go buy www.homedepot.ca/product/dahl-all-round-strapping-steel-24ga-3-4-inch-x-10-feet/1000115948
hi Laura….did you buy the mesh at home depot ?….do you have a link to the exact mesh you used ?
Yes I did. Everbilt black plastic meshing.
Hi Laura! Is there any chance you can send a link of the mesh you bought? Or even just the size? I am trying to do this exactly how you did it.... thank u so much 💓
Hi I believe I used 1/4 inch rolled plastic meshing from Home Depot. Good luck!
@@lauracoteDIY , thank you! But do you remember what size? I think it was 16inches by.... 100 feet? 50 feet? ❤️
It was similar to this product peakproducts.com/en-ca/p/plastic-hardware-mesh/ I’m sorry I do not recall the length as I purchased a few rolls years ago for my other garden and I had leftover material. 36inches high is great, it will depend on how many panels you are going to make to required length!

@@lauracoteDIY Thank you so much for responding! 💕
What is the steel strapping you used?
It is just called all round steel strapping found at your local hardware store.
Hi, I think I can make this fence on my own, but I can't find the description box listing the materials. Has it been removed?
Hi the items used should still be listed in the video description near the bottom. Good luck! Yea, you can do this yourself!!
Aaand of course is a husky! I came to find a solution to stop my dog (also a husky) from doing exactly that. Mine is 6 years old and serves as a proof that they never grow out of the puppy stage!
Haha Correct!! My latest fence was 5ft tall and next year I may as well enclose the entire thing ha! Every year I feel as though I am challenging them to jump higher and higher! And they gladly accept said challenge. But now instead of the gardens, they have chosen dig in the yard 🤦♀️
Excellent! Just curious if this height is enough for protecting veggies from rabbits?
a quick google suggests 24" for cottentails, and 36" for Jack rabbits.
I suppose it would depend on the height of your garden bed, plus the panels. I also googled as it was a good question, seems they can jump over 2ft vertically!
Ha, so funny I have a little pupper like that doing the same thing lol
I now have a second!
Where did you get the 1×1 wood at?
Home Depot!
Hi. Is that fence high enough to keep rabbits out? I hear they can jump up to 3 feet. Thanks.
I don’t have a rabbit issues however I’ve heard some can just 4-6?
How long can you use the wood on the base? I mean, doesn' t it spoil (garden bed' s wood) ?
No I’ve had it 2 years. No issues. I have another one that’s around 7 years old and still ok.
What do you think of having removable garden fence panels?
Came here for the garden tips; Stayed for the doggo
I have two now!!
Ur a freakin genius!!
just someone with a dog problem! hahaha
Great for animals that don't climb. I'm looking for something to keep out the raccoons.
Maybe try some motion sensor lights around the garden bed? Try to spray the surrounding area with vinegar to deter the raccoons. Maybe it will help? ruclips.net/video/bsMG7vseKRQ/видео.html
How is this holding up?
Just fine! But, I did leave them up during winter, and I tripped in snow falling onto one panel and broke the top piece of wood. In spring, I replaced the top bar no issues since. It was a quick fix.
What size are your garden bed boards?
Watch this ruclips.net/video/IczDsdSauik/видео.html just after the 1 min mark you’ll see the wood I used with sizing. This is a 4min build of this exact garden bed.
What's the advantage of raising a garden that high?
Many! Better ability to control the quality of soil, better drainage, warmer soil extending the season and often less weeds! Here is an even higher bed that has many additional benefits! ruclips.net/p/PLSzBLqVSba6Lm8ywIMU4DES02Si0c_yM2
Are toddlers considered wildlife? I'll probably fence the new garden for deers AND kids 🤣
hahaha oh yes, yes they are!
In my place we have lots of monkey...so I have to cover the top part as well...
Ha! Here I need to do that for the raccoons. They love to eat my corn. I will build a cover this year.
Rabbits will eat through the net unfortunately.
Yes, but it was made for my dog! However for other animals I would suggest replacing with a metal screen due to your reasoning!
