An easy and almost free fencing solution - the zig-zag pallet fence! I built one in my yard to keep dogs that were boarded with me for obedience training separated from my own dogs. The dogs in for training are often rather insistent and exuberant about getting to my own dogs, jumping relentlessly against the fence I made (until training started calming the visitors down and taught them self-discipline). It has held up for 4 years already, and has been through dogs of all sizes, but mostly large ones, up to 110 lbs. That's a lot of force jumping up on, and against a fence. I used metal wire to string the pallets together, and at the end of each wall of pallets used t-posts for reinforcement at the corners, as well as where the gate is. Now that it's been so many years, the grasses and other plants growing close to the pallets are also doing a great job at keeping everything solid. I haven't had to change a pallet in all this time. It's a great way, too, to use free
local resources and recycle. So all it cost me was some wire (which I got very cheap at the local Habitat for Humanity restore), and 6 t-posts. You could also stain and/or paint the pallets if you wanted to pretty them up. I just left mine natural as I found them.
