Block the driveway to keep the kids from sneaking out?!

[sir_erken]

It's probably better to teach the children what applies, they will go out if they want to...

If it's always open and they know they're absolutely not allowed, in my experience, they're very cautious and slowly sneak out that time they slip away... Instead of rushing out that one time you forgot to close.

A sort of electric fence used to keep wild boars away should work well, right?
After the first escape attempt, you probably don't even need to keep the power on! ;-)

Maybe to keep other people's kids out, or at daycare.
But not for your own children, right? I think it would be neurotic.

Although the allowed energy amount in electric shocks has recently been reduced to not be directly lethal for lambs and young children

5 joules rule EN standard 60335-2-76/AD applies from 2011-09-01

but I still don't think it feels right. Kids should have a fair chance

Here is our plot by the way. You can hardly see the electric wires, but the cows know where it is.
And the power is only on a week now and then.


(Jeez, why do I always go off-track )

...
I haven't tried wild boar fencing yet..

This might be something for you.

We had it for a while for the chickens, but the da** things have wings and can fly, so now they're on their own.

Shouldn't it work if you built posts that look like the rails that amusement parks have when you ride a roller coaster?

A few such posts and a section of fence that you pull forward

done, it takes up space since it needs to be quite long and not "unhook"

Ps. Sorry for my less than beautiful sketch ha ha

Edit

I see now that the hook should be like a T and not like an L

thanks and goodbye

There are privacy screens made of awning fabric on a roll, similar to a roller blind that you pull out and attach to a rod when needed. Perhaps that could work?

 

[D09]

how would nets and other soft materials work at the bottom, shouldn't it be quite easy to lift and get under?

Made me think of these ha ha then you get a little door included and it's easy to fold up and push to the side.

A dog maybe?

Ready solution to the ts problem? (hornbach)

 

[Roland112]

I will build two holders on either side of the driveway. Then I'll lay a board across that the little one can't lift.

We did as "Polyene" described and fenced off the plot from the driveway with a fence and gate, and it works great.
That way, you don't risk backing over either children or dogs
Sounds a bit complicated with a net, and above all, not so nice.
Maybe consider buying a villa gate?

We did the same... A gate to the driveway and a small fence around the rest of the plot. Nice not to have to open/close a big gate every time you're out with the car.

A gate at the driveway won't help when there's a wall that a 1-year-old with a bit of determination can crawl over. The easiest way is probably to enclose a reasonably sized play area with a fence and gate.
