Cat-proofing the garden ... anyone done it ?

I am away from home, with the two pussycats.
Mine host and I are considering cat-proofing his garden and think we have a decent plan involving 2 x 2 posts, netting of some kind, brackets, nails, staples, screws annat.

Anyone attempted it ? and is there anything we should avoid ?


OK ... silly answered are acceptable too

thank you

Put dogs all around the border instead - big ones.

Keeping them in ... this is a strange environment (erm ... I can provide pics )

Also, keeping other cats out would be nice but I do understand territorial behaviour and, obviously, this is part of the neighbourhood cats' territory.

Ideally the wire netting has to have a sloping bit on the top, sloping in the way and be at least six feet high . I know people who have fenced off their garden to keep their cats in .
