Product Information

And as with any cat-proof containment system, things like trees, outdoor furniture, and garbage bins should always be moved away from the fence. These types of items are often used as escape aids by persistent cats who are determined to get out of the yard. Moving them a safe distance away from the fence can greatly increase the effectiveness of most cat-proof fence solutions, including rollers. It is also important to keep in mind that the areas most commonly exploited for escape over roller systems are gates, corners, and where existing fencing meets a structure. These areas may require special care when preparing and outfitting your fence with rollers. Worldwide installations range from the USA and Canada, to Australia and New Zealand, so you can be sure that it is suitable for use whatever the environment. Flat Roof Edge Protection Roller Barrier is a practical and effective solution for almost any environment. As demonstrated, this anti climb system is the natural choice for use in locations where there is a risk to children or other vulnerable people. Roller Barrier - the Safe Anti-Climb Device Make sure to put them snug against each other as you go along the top of the fence. Each space between rollers is a weak point for cats or coyotes to take advantage of. You can also use other features like the spikes shown above around these junctions to protect them further. Alternatively, you can use one of the best pressure washers, but you will need to wait for at least 24 hours for the fence to dry before recommencing the paint job.

The best paint to use in this scenario is a specialist fence or exterior paint. There is also the option to choose from stain or paint, depending on what type of finish you want. Once you have a clear space around your fence, think about covering the surrounding vegetation (essential if spray painting) and laying down dust sheets or plastic sheeting along the bottom of the fence to catch any paint drips. With no spikes to cause injury, many local authorities now specify this versatile anti-climb device as the anti-climb system of choice for use in and around: schools, public & historic buildings, parks & gardens, car parks and many more locations.Next, you need to clean your fence — especially if it's an older fence. Use a stiff hand brush or wire brush to remove any dirt and debris from the surface.

Why Choose Roller Barrier?

Irregular shaped gardens are not a problem – hidden cat fences are easily able to cope with unusual garden layouts The most important point to remember when installing Oscillot® is that your cat needs to be jumping from the ground to the top of the fence in a single motion with no help on the way up in the form of "ladders or platforms". "Ladders and platforms" are objects next to the fence such as trees, trellis, sheds and garden beds etc. Cats, on the other hand, have very different abilities, as they are able to stop their forward momentum and hold on to many surfaces with their claws before continuing their climb. This allows them to pause and search for the “path of least resistance” as they approach the top of the fence, calculating their next move. Many cat-proof fence roller systems have been adapted from the original coyote rollers with this in mind, and now there are several options available exclusively for use with cats. Oscillot® is fast-becoming the first choice for cat owners in Australia, & across the world, because there are no wires, no cages & no netting, it is cat friendly, unobtrusive & can turn most fences into a cat proof fence within just a few hours. The rain and cold (5°C and below) are your enemies when painting a fence; ergo, the spring and summer months are the best time to paint outside.

Finally, if you have concrete – or non-wood – posts that you don’t want to get paint on, mask off with tape and paper. A simple tip if you have slotted concrete posts is to lift out the panel completely and paint it in a separate prepared area. How to Paint a Fence: A Step-By-Step Guide If your fence panel is still wet when you start painting, the paint won't adhere properly to its surface. This can cause unsightly bubbles, and the paint simply won’t do its job properly.The 115mm (approx 5") diameter unbreakable Roller Cups are purposely sized to prevent even the largest hands from getting a grip on and where possible, are manufactured from recycled polycarbonate material (helping local authorities to meet their recycling targets). UV Protected Start by painting the hard-to-reach areas and edges with a brush. Work in sections from top to bottom, so you can see where you have painted. To finish your fence prep, give the fence a rub down with sandpaper to get rid of any rough areas. This is not so important for rough-sawn fence panels, but if you have a smoother timber fence, i.e. a slatted fence, then make sure to rub down for improved adhesion. If you’re a dog owner, you know that dogs have an amazing sense of smell and a wonderful curiosity about everything happening outside their own fenced yards. If your dogs are anything like mine, they thoroughly investigate every inch of the yard and even try to push the boundaries as often as they can. Enter this roll bar fence DIY & my Dad to the rescue. FYI we’re not a professional builders, just dog owners that needed a solution and this totally helped us with our problem. The exciting new Trigard Roller Barrier System is ideal for protecting parapets, double skin wall tops or fence tops where a bulkier barrier than just a single row of cups is required.

A panel should take around 15-30 mins to paint, depending on how precise you are. This is the slowest method but also the simplest, as you only need a brush. There are several options to consider when painting a fence. We take a closer look at each one, its pros and cons, and how best to apply. If your fence has been stained or painted before, you might need a little extra prep. If stained, just clean, rub down and test the new stain on a small, out-of-the-way area to see how it looks and how well it goes on. If painted, scrape off any flakes with a decent paint scraper and give it a good rub down before painting.When installed properly on most fence types, reports suggest that commercially available cat-proof fence roller systems tend to have a 80-90% rate of effectiveness for most cats. Cats all have unique personalities and abilities, and while some cats may try to climb over the fence and give up after a few attempts, others might try over and over again until they find a way over and out. Rollers tend to be best suited for cats who are less athletic or persistent. Additional modifications can be made to your existing fence to increase effectiveness for more persistent cats, such as installing spans of polycarbonate material along the top of the fence in addition to the rollers or increasing the overall height of your existing fence. Polycarbonate is a type of clear plastic sheeting that cats are not able to get their claws into, making it even more difficult to scale the fence. A single fence panel should take you around 10-20 minutes to complete using this method, depending on how many edges you have to paint.
