Boxer resistant fence
My daughter wants me to build a new fence.
She has 2 boxers and they keep knocking out fence posts. She has one of those "alternating wood fences" where there are alternating fence planks on her side and on the neighbors sides. I would prefer to not have to take down the old fence. thanks for your ideas. :-) Andy |

Use ring nails instead of smooth nails Better yet: Use screws instead of nails. There are gizmos that go into your electric drill that hold the screw in place while you use the drill to screw it in, all the way in. The gizmo lets go gradually as the screw goes in. But you can just use a screwdriver bit and skip the gizmo. One screw at each end of the plank ought to do it. What are they attached with now? If you say screws, I may have to reboot my computer. |

Or, you can glue the planks with bacon glue. -- .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

Run a runs of 2X6 around the yard at roughly 1.5 and 3 feet above ground (or whatever the "sweet spot" is for her Boxers) Boxers have hard heads. |

Might need to put steel straps across before putting in the scres so the Boxers don't just split the planks off the screws. |

Perhaps you didn't notice that the guy asked the same question a few days ago. You probably don't know that he has a history of doing the same thing in other groups. Perhaps you didn't notice that my suggestion was patently absurd. Perhaps you didn't notice that several other answers in this thread were also patently absurd. Gotta say , from where I'm standing it looks a lot more like you're the troll . Perhaps you need to get out more. |

Why just today I went up the little dirt road to the big dirt road to the highway to get to town ! Took the wife to Pizza Hut for lunch - after we got some more chicken feed and a piece of steel tube for a project . OK , I didn't see his previous post , don't even recall seeing his name here before . Apparently I don't read the groups he's been posting in ... but your suggestion of poisoned razor ribbon sounds like something a dog-hater would say ... -- Snag |
