The property in Lubbock is a little
over one acre with the majority of the acreage in the back.
In the summer of 2012 it was loaded the stickers and such. The Beagles came in filthy.
We wanted to keep the beagles closer to the house in a area where we are trying to grow
grass. |

At Lowe's Home Improvement store we found a
modular decorative fence made by
Grand Empire. It was available in 37.75" H x 48" W sections. As their
advertisement says, "Graceful classic design; simple to install; and crafted steel-coated
for beauty. |

Backyard after a
rain storm shows
why we need to grow grass. |
Fence extends
East away from the house & is parallel to the Butterfly garden. Then turns South &
is parallel to the "Iris River." |
The fence turns
West. Behind it are the "Victory Garden raised beds" and the Shop
or "basement" as we like to call it. |

Billy Bob Beagle
and Betty Sue Beagle will be so glad when
their play area is green instead of red. |
By the end of the summer, the beagles have about
4000 Sq Ft of play
area - with grass! |
Putting in the fence was a fairly easy do it yourself
project. Have to admit that it took longer
then we expected and caused many frustrated moments. We like the finished product.
Growing grass within this fenced area will eliminate the beagles and us from tracking dirt
into the house. |
