One good thing about having the trees is the shade they provide.....so, escaping the hot sun isn't difficult....it is the humidity that will get ya once temps get in the high 80s....just have to hope there is a seabreeze to keep air moving.....I won't be able to rest til I get Gabbie an area done, tho....I'll just have to get up and do things in the mornings...:).....believe it or not....the carport is almost cleared and the back bedroom is box and tote -less......;).....yeh, I am so "thrilled" to have to find another doctor.....waiting on the book of names to "choose" from.....we can't find the one we used the last time we were down here.....so, get to play doctor "roulette".....:th

You will feel a lot better when you have a secure yard for Gabbie. When we moved here, I did much the same as you, never letting the dogs out with out us going with them. Paris had the backyard and she wasn't sharing.

We will probably start out with some CPs for an "instant" area, but will expand it with a field fence of some sort.....will probably use cut CPs for gates within the perimeter.....:)

Dogs can get through field fence. We had field fence and dogs still squeezed through, the knots slide over, making a bigger hole.

I would suggest a 100' roll of sheep and goat wire, it has 4" holes and 100' roll will be much easier to handle than a 330' roll. A 100' roll at my local TSC is listed for $119.99 which as @Bruce pointed out, a few cow panels will quickly equal that much. You could build a wood gate frame and staple a piece of the sheep and goat wire over it.

I will have to check that out @Baymule , ours is less than 2 miles from here.....and a Rural King is about 20mi away....starting to see what it will take and then "whittlin" at it.....the reason for the CPs at first.....is it is much easier to handle them and much quicker to "assemble" for me in the coming heat.....it can be easily reconfigured.....and having them here could be a good thing.....just in case a limb comes down and damages fencing.....there is something that can be used to section it off....also, could make a hoop hut for some ducks and chickens....then, ya have the multi uses in the garden......it won't be a waste....unless a tree collapses on it.......:)
