The house in Lubbock sits on a little
over one acre with the majority of the acreage in the backyard.
In the summer 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.
This is why we needed to grow grass. |
Fence extends
East away from the house & is parallel to the Butterfly garden.
Then it 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 were so glad when their play area was green instead of red.
The beagles have about 4000
Sq Ft of play area. |
This was a fairly easy do it yourself
project. Have to admit that it took longer
then we expected and caused many frustrating moments. We like the finished product.
Once Bermuda grass took hold, we lessened the amount of dirt tracked into the house by the beagles and us. After 4 years, we are beginning to see sign of deterioration of the fence.
We will have to replace about 1/3 of the individual pieces. |
