If they can get to the top of that woodpile, couldn't they surmount a typical fence? I like that wattle idea, actually. You must have plenty of raw materials for it, and it <I>seems</I> like it would be easy to engineer, relatively permanent, and (if it worked) very satisfying every time you looked at it.<BR/><BR/>I once made a woodpile like that between two trees in my forest. A ground fire came along while I was away and consumed all of the wood as well as killing the two trees that probably would have survived if there hadn't been all that fuel piled at their bases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
