We did chicken wire and 4x4’s it was around $200. Does the job and isn’t permanent not the prettiest though
Temporary fence to keep kids in the backyard? Any ideas!!!
I’m currently renting and unfortunately the property doesn’t have a fence in the backyard. We are a corner house off a main road so it makes me extremely nervous having a small toddler.
I’m also pregnant so it’s very tiring for me to chase my toddler around the whole house. He keeps wanting to go to the front of the house and running all around peoples backyards.
We bought him a few outdoor play items in hopes to keep him only in the back, but it doesn’t seem to work 🤦🏻♀️😂
So I’m wondering if anyone has had a temporary fence (even the construction type) in their backyard and how well it worked. Do you think it would work for my son? Since it’s a rental we don’t want to put money into building a fence (especially since we’re saving and could possibly be in our own home within a year or two). But I’m just way to tired. I also can’t image chasing him all around while having a newborn!
I need a safe around for him to play.
If anyone has any ideas that would be great!

If I were u I would just spent the money for a fence if landlord allows it or maybe ask him go 50/50? When we rented our condo few years ago our landlord had a nasty carpet (it got flooded 10 years ago and it was never replaced) so we just ripped the carpet and installed vinyl floor ourselves. We really wanted to live there but couldn’t under that condition. We paid for it but it made our life much better. So I feel is similar cause u want to keep your child safe so maybe see what the prices are and build it.
You can get outdoor foldable dog pens to create a fence around a small area. Usually you are able to connect more than one set together to make a bigger area and some have built in gates. We used to use a few sets together for our dog before we built something more permanent, we had one with a gate and 3 without. The more sets you add, you may need to add some extra poles as support but they worked well. I was going to use them with my daughter too to keep her away from the road but my husband ran them over with a tractor so 🤷🏻♀️. They are also cheaper than the plastic ones you can get specially for kids.
