Too bad fences cannot keep out noise.
I consistently have to ask somebody three houses down to turn down the music they play in their garage... they think because it is a closed-in area that nobody can hear it, but it echoes off the garage door. Most of the time I can only hear the thump thump noise and nothing else, and that is the most annoying part. I've found that for the most part it's renters instead of owners that do this kind of thing, that and let the yards go without watering it or mowing it once a month, things like that.
Do you feel that way about the ones used for underground fences too? (sm)
Because it has made our dogs very happy to be able to roam free in our yard and has made us very happy not to worry about them getting run over by a car or lost. We do take them for walks but he is free throughout the day even when we aren't walking him.
Good Fences make good neighbors
You can get premade cedar fencing that comes in sections. You dig a post hole at the appropriate distance and fill with a bag of quick-crete. Alternatively, you could buy a used fence from a place that hauls away.
You could also get an electric fence, just hook to a battery and run the cord (for retraining purposes) it would not hurt your dogs.
I feel your pain. Roll up your sleeves and pray for some digging weather!
