Thread: Anyone mc proofed their garden?

We are in the process of trying out some ideas on our patio. We put 6' diagonal small gap trellis up and then screwed 2' panels of Perspex on to the top of the sections. The cats can't get over the Perspex to get to the top of the fence, though one bright spark climbed the fence post. He was stopped with a small section of chicken wire with some old CDs tied on, like a bird scarer. That lasted a while but now our boys are strong enough to jump through the clematis and onto the fence. The clematis was sacrificed last weekend and new featherboard fencing will be installed this weekend, no purchase for paws and claws. We are then going to try an idea similar to the rotating poles on brackets, but a cheaper DIY version. I will let you all know how that goes when it is complete. In the meantime, the cats have a large enclosed run at the back of the house, I'll take some photos and post them soon.

quite close but used different materials

I used some netting used for deep sea trawling . got it off ebay - yes really.
it is ideal the netting and is knotted on all four corner of every hole (which are about half an inch square) It is sooooo strong that floyd can run at it and leap into the middle of a piece 1 metre by 2 meters and he just grips amd stays there and then uses ita s a climbing frame.
The poles are angled metal with a ninety degree bend at the top and come inwards about 2 feet. the netting just follows them
Ive bolted the ones to the fence on one side and a garage the other . The front was open and is all netting. Im going to fit a sliding door there when i have the cash.
I will post a pic in the next few days
