We already had a 7 ft. privacy fence on one side, so my husband made something similar to the cat fence-in fence topper for the shorter chain link side. It angles inward, the way the cat fence-in system does. It's too broad to jump over, and if the cat tries to climb over, she falls back down. It's sort of ugly, so I trained a vine to cover it. Anyway, after a few tries, our cat gave up and she's never tried to jump or climb it since. Some cats are diggers, so keep that in mind in terms of blocking any gaps under the fence. Our cats have never tried that. Thanks. I guess I'll take a look at Home Depot and see if I can find anything that would achieve the same purpose.It just has to heighten the fence and bend over into the yard I suppose. Something that won't trap their little feets or harm them. I'm sort of worried that a neighboring cat will get into the yard and be unable to get out again but I think I can manage that with a door that I'll leave open when my cats aren't back there. Otherwise I guess I'll just buy the cat fence. It probably won't be much more expensive than putting it together myself. |

We bought materials from the catfencein.com and installed it on our wooden fence. It's worked really well, except that Big Smokey figured out how he could push his head around until he found a place where the staples were too far apart. I should add that most of our outdoor guys have zero interest in trying to get out. My only concern is that your fence may be too short for the catfencein product (maybe the more expensive version would work - we have an 8-foot fence so we opted for the cheaper webbing and bracket version). |

It works! And we recommend it highly, especially the combo version, which keeps your cat safely inside and other cats outside.
