Re: [AlpacaTalk] fencing/gates
Hi Janice,
I vaguely recall that... One of those things "I was going to do."
Since concrete by the bag is so cheap, I would just mix some up and put it under the gate crossing area so dogs couldn't dig in or out. I'm sure concrete pavers would do just as well. And they are pretty cheap, for just a gate or two span. Whatever's easiest to lay, and cheapest!
I do also pile the rocks that grow in the pastures from frost heave, around the fencelines, to help in digging prevention. Either inside or out, depending on what your immediate problem is.

My Great Pyrs have started escaping (6mos old). They are digging under
the gates. The hot wire, which is on the outside, is not stopping
them. It is not hot enough to phase them once they get that excited and
that close to freedom. I don't want to run it on the inside because of
the alpacas. I keep piling up concrete blocks as as temporary measure
until I have time to figure out what to do.
Heather, do I recall that you once talked about pouring concrete under
your gates? If so, could you elaborate please?
Thanks! Janice
