Dear James: I have a landscaped yard and the neighborhood children cut through it. I want a simple-to-build yet attractive fence that complements my yard. What do you recommend? —Don W.
Dear Don: If children are determined to get into and through your yard, you would require a fence that is very substantial and likely unattractive. Your goal should be to just create some type of simple barrier, even if the children can climb over or through it. A few reminders from you or a simple sign on the fence may do the trick.
