Suffice to say I tackled the back fence first placing a single continuous strip my side of the fence at finger grabbing height so that it wasn't seen from the public path the other side. For standard, non-electric fencing, it is possible to purchase “prickle” and “brickle” strips that line the tops of fences and walls, respectively, to deter animals climbing over them. Obviously best thing is that each piece can be split into 3,2 or one strip wide which makes for plenty of coverage.Ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs should be put away at night in secure hutches or cages.

Using screws is maybe marginally more secure, but a strong superglue will do the trick and probably makes the job a bit quicker.
