Dog fence and deck

I have an area in my small back yard that I fenced in for our two dogs so they would not destroy the rest of my garden area. The fenced area is right off our deck so they have the deck and the fenced in area witch gives them plenty of room for two small dogs. The fence I did was very simple. In the dogs area there was a small section agents the fence that has never had grass and the dogs were digging holes and making a mess. So I build a simple doggy deck from scrap lumber to cover the mucky spot and give them some ware to sit in the shade for the hot summer weather.

At my local home depot they only have green and uncoated metal. I would think you could check your local home improvement store and see what they carry.

The fence is a great idea. I did the same thing, AND you are correc,t it is not good for a large dog and one that likse to jump. My dog jumps and landed on a fence post....results, had a vet bill. Be careful.

would highly recommend buying (or making) T-post caps for the top of the t-posts to prevent impalement.
