Well I guess that’s not totally base-less, but still couldn’t she just tell her kids not to climb the fucking fence? Or at last be careful? Kids climb shit. I climbed trees that were a lot higher than a 6’ fence when I was little. It was fun. I didn’t die. ---

yes, but you probably had friends there. They’re sitting on top of the 6 ft fence texting each other :lol: ---

I left all the stickers on my fence 🙂 I also replaced a panel, and left the plastic and stickers on it as to avoid damaging the sticker. ---

Go with wood or chainlink, I see vinyl ones blown down all the time, they suck. They look nicer but are not as strong, plus they are 3x more expensive. I put up a wooden one in my ward two years ago and have not had a problem with it yet, although I still need to stain it. ---

I have a pretty standard picket fence. Looks decent. Was pricey to have installed though. You can see it in the background of this picture. ![http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll126/boardjnky4/frsibee_jump.jpg](http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll126/boardjnky4/frsibee_jump.jpg) ---

no fence for me, I don’t want to block the view of the pond and neither of my neighbors have fences so our lots look a lot bigger as a result. chain link is banned by the homeowner’s association due to ghetto-ness, but a few houses down they have it anyway and I guess nobody cares. ---
