Ballustrade beveiliging idee
2010 November 24
This idea was received from a fellow cat lover named Larraine:
“I was in cat rescue for about 25 yrs and have always tried to contain my cats with all manner of enclosures, netting you name it. A while ago I was watching as one of my cats tried to stay on my kitchen counter when she lost her grip on the smooth edge. I had a lightbulb moment. A smooth rounded cap on an existing fence is all that’s needed!! I bought several of those white PVC pipes ( the ones without holes in them) they use for sewer or water, that come in diameters of 3″ to 5″ and will fit over almost any fence railing once you split them in half lengthways one $11 pipe will cap 20 ft of fence. Just drill a few holes on either side and screw it to the railing. The cats cannot get over it!!! Also keeps raccoons out, as long as you don’t have trees they can use.”
Keiinteressant!
Want Zeena heeft de neiging op mijn terrasballustrade te springen en nu en dan haar grip te verliezen. En dan valt ze van ‘t eerste verdieping naar beneden, met alle gevolgen van dien.
PVC is geen milieuvriendelijk materiaal. Gelukkig zijn het milieuvriendelijke alternatieven steeds beter verkrijgbaar: polybuteen (PB), polypropeen (PP) of polypropeen co-polymeer (PPC).
Weet nog niet waar ik het ga vinden – maar alvast interessant!

Tenzei ze natuurlijk te ver springt en er langs de verkeerde kant terug af schuift…? :p
In de gamma zullen ze da wel hebben.
