Puppy-proofing ideas needed
5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago
Hey, just looking for some ideas people may have in how I can cover up an outdoor gas hot water unit wires and pipes on my deck? my large 7 month old puppy is quite interested in eating the cable and the foam surrounds of the pipe... I have already replaced once. 😑 It is also quite ugly so the cover could hide it and approve the aesthetics. There is currently brick, timber decking and iron blue colourbond around the area.

Comments (163)Your question to an outside kennel, it will need to be tough. A GSD can chew almost anything , I think Canberra weather is way too cold to have Manny as an outside dog. Buy a extra large crate and keep him inside. Crate train your pup, they will learn to toilet train quicker there is a lot of info out there to google. GSD's need to be part of the family or there can be behavioural issues. Are you renting? is this the reason for the kennel outside?...See MorePossum proof planters for balcony
Comments (5)Hello, We had the same problem with possums so we started this company. PVC connectors - these can be just pushed onto pipe and covered with netting and secured with our snapclamps and problem fixed. We also have many options such as hinges so you can put a door or a lid on it. Please have a look at our website and have a look at our cage page for many ideas. These connectors are strong, versatile , not expensive and easy. www.klevercages.com.au An example of the framework we also have heavy duty netting on the site for possums.Hope this all helps. Please contact us if you need any further information. Robert Klever Cages www.klevercages.com.au www.facebook.com/klevercages...See MoreFire proofing between apartments - ceilings and walls
Comments (5)Its all noted in the building code of Australia (now called the National Construction Code). There are however a few ways of achieving the required ratings. There is not only just one way. To give the correct advice you'll need an architect, a building designer or a good draftsman (or other building professional) on site to do a thorough inspection. Also accoustic's are another issue to be aware of, depending on scope of works....See MoreWater proofing a large deck
Comments (12)I don't think I'd lay wood directly on the concrete, if that's your plan. It would be like laying a wood deck on bare earth: the wood gets wet, the underside can't dry out, so the wood rots. Building the deck above the concrete, with some clearance between the two, would be better, I think - it would allow water to drain through and the wood to dry out....See More- 5 years ago
