SEGURIDAD

How do you keep bands of marauding miscreants and feral cats from leaping into your patio or garden?
There are several methods, some of which are more aesthetically pleasing than others.

Below we have the broken bottle method, which is the most common deterrent.  I wonder if you have to break your own bottles or if you can buy them already broken and bagged up.  I don't think this is very attractive.  I also think that one could fling a thick blanket over the glass, wear some padding and scamper over.


Here the broken glass is augmented with barbed wire.  Even more unattractive.


How about rolls of razor wire?  Here the broken glass, all of it green, looks a bit like plants on first glance.


Bigger rolls, some spikes on the corner and chain link fence.  Serious crime-stoppers.


Chain link fence and electric fence.  Looks sort of like a prison exercise yard, doesn't it.


More razor wire, tightly wound, on top of a semi-attractive wrought iron fence.


Chain link fence with barbed wire.  Another prison scene, especially since the top is angled in--to keep the inmates from escaping.


I like this look.  Little metal spikes.  Nicer looking than glass, but more expensive.


Or even better:  a metal fence with spikes on top.  Orale.
