Fence Safety

When we first brought Zachary home he was not curious yet about his backyard. Well things have changed. He is more attuned to street sounds and planes. Walking between and behind things gives him more sights and sounds to explore. One of the safety concerns we had was the gate of our chain link fence. The was a gap just big enough where Zachary could walk right through and go to the street. We are always with him, but it was a risk we did not want to take. In the picture you can see the solution we came up with. We took a hallow swimming pool noodle, cut in half and wrapped around both posts. They are easy to remove and do not hinder the gate being opened.
