Hi all, I'm not sure where to post this so I'll just plonk it here...
I'd love to be able to let my little guy outside without too much supervision/worry that he'll run off but we have a couple of problems.
1. We rent so can't make any permanent changes to any structures inside or outside.
2. The only access to our courtyard is a sliding door, this means that we can't really have an enclosure unless it still allows us to access the courtyard through it.
3. The courtyard is concrete and there is nowhere to fix anything to (i.e pegged down).
4. We can't afford expensive fence fixings that stop cats jumping over.
5. We have windows but they all have fly screen covers and open outwards, an enclosure would need to cover the whole window somehow (over 6ft high) and so far I can't find anything remotely affordable that size!
The courtyard has 6ft high wooden fencing and wraps around the entire back part of the property. We use it a lot and love have BBQs and sitting in the sun out there. I also like to keep the sliding door open when I'm home on nice days to let lots of air into the house.
I let Pebble out with me when I'm outside but as soon as he jumps up on the fence I pull him down. He's still very young (5 months) and I don't want the neighbours dogs getting at him (we have dogs on all sides).
Any ideas on ways I could ensure he stays in our courtyard, or ways he could get time outside without the need for constant supervision? It needs to be non-permanent, rental friendly and low cost.
Thanks!
