    10ft high fence with barbed wire on top and gates locked at all times! ( 10 ft wall with glass on top ?). you have to keep "Darwin Award" adults out as well

    we had one when we were kids my dad built a 6ft wall on one side (shed by the yard) and then had a steep bank all the round covered with nettles with a few strands of electric fencing. The amount of footballs and sliotors that ened up in there was cruel but here was no way i was going to be able to get them.

    I think nowadays you have to have a wire mesh on all exposed sides. Wouldnt be a bad i dea to stick teh electric fence on it either.
