The Zim Family Cocker Spaniel Forum

Since this is going to be my very last litter of puppies, I'm not going to need my large collection of metal exercise pen fencing anymore. I use it to fence off a safe puppy area on my front lawn, and I've got enough to go around my entire front yard.



As you may know... that stuff is not cheap! The 48" high sections cost close to $100 each... and the 36" and 24" sections are not a whole lot cheaper.

All that metal fencing will only take up valuable space in my garage... so, after Pupapalooza weekend, I have no use for it. I'd be happy to sell some on Sunday of Pupapalooza weekend, around noon, for $20 per section. Be sure you will have room for it in your vehicle, before expressing interest.

I have the 4' xpen that goes from my kitchen doggie door and "herds" the dogs to the garage door doggie door so they cannot get to anything dangerous in the garage or bolt out when a car is pulling in. It is 8 sections and I paid about $80 for it several years ago. It works great. I had tried a 36" before this one, and Hannah could jump it without the bat of an eye so we had to go with the taller one.

Yeah, that's why I have so many 48" sections. They can't jump over those unless they really work at it.

By the way, I have found a home for the agility tire jump thingie... so I have deleted it from the original post.

hey Jim,
I'd take one of the sections but I leave before noon. I head home about 9 or 10 am. Anyway you'd part with 1 then?

Yes, Terry. I think that will be very do-able.

Yet another reason I wish I lived in CA!!!!

Where do you usually buy those? I'd love to be able to work Chessie off leash but my husband doesn't want a fence. Can they be used indoors too?

thanks Jim!!! I just might get 2 sections if that's possible

Lisa---yes, the x-pens can be used indoors! Attaching the x-pen to the doggie crate creates a little play area for a puppy. Kelly was fine inside the "playpen" but Kasey would climb up and over in a nanosecond!

Jim how many do you have? I'd be very interested in several but I'd have to have someone take them back to S Ca so I could pick them up when I'm at Disneyland in November.

I can do that for you Julie!!! Let me know

I've got a lot, Julie. Off the top of my head, I don't know the exact number, but I suspect there are probably ten sections of 48" fencing. A few have been committed already, but I bet I could set you up with at least 5 sections. One or two may be a tiny bit rusty from having been outdoors.

Perhaps the best thing to do, Julie, would be to let me know the maximum number you would want... and I'll give you as many as I can, up to your maximum number.

I probably should have started writing down the names of who wanted what. I know all the 36" panels have been spoken for... and a few of the 48". I do also have two 24" sections, which I don't think anyone has expressed interest in yet.

Jim... I want a tall one please. My Bailey is a climber and the 36 inch are too small for her

Jim,
I would love to have both of the 24" sections, if no-one else has spoken for them.
I will pm you as well.

I won't be greedy and I'll put my request in for 3. If the rest of the 48 inch sections don't sell I'll take two more. If you had already promised more to someone else, I'll be happy to take one or two. Thanks.

Thanks SO much Terry. I'll take you up on that offer.

I'll take whatever you have left Jim.

Sincerely,
Casey

If you end up with any of the taller ones left, let me know.

OK... I've done an inventory, so I know what I have now!

I've also tallied up all the requests... so this has finally gone from an unorganized mess-of-a-sale to an actual sale-with-a-plan.

Here's the plan. Contact me if I have messed up any of the details.

The agility tire jump thingie is going to Kim Fisher, who will transport it herself.

I have two 24" fence sections, which will go to Marianne and which will be transported by Dawn & Kevin. Marianne has already paid me.

I have two 36" fence sections, which will go to Carol Woodard... who will be picking them up at 11 AM on Sunday.

I have eight 48" fence sections. I could have probably sold twice that many if I had that many! To keep it fair and to allow multiple people to get in on the bargains... I would like to allocate two sections of fence to each of the following:

Terry Al - pick up @ 10 AM Sunday
Julie Hydro - to be picked up by Terry Al @ 10 AM Sunday
Casey - to be picked up @ noon on Sunday
Carol Patterson - to be picked up @ noon on Sunday

Thanks Jim!

It is going to get to good use right away on a camping trip!


(now to fit in a Grover Beach trip on Sunday with Moms Danish guests......)
