  • We used one of those portable dog fences to block off our old pool. They are lightweight and easy to fold up and store away. You could place stones (or sandbags) every few feet or so to prevent the fence from being easily moved by the dog and secured the ends of the fence to something.

    I will say they aren’t built to stay outside all day, but we had one outside for a couple of years and it was still intact. It was worn down though and the black paint was peeling off. But if you can put it away when it isn’t needed then this shouldn’t be an issue then





  • I have used this method for wood plank flooring.

    Have someone stand on the gap of the two boards (they should be ensuring the two boards are level with each other.)

    Take a pry-bar (crowbar) and push the flooring from the edge (may have to remove quarter-round that is covering it).

    Basically you are pushing the entire floor to get the boards to snap together. The person standing on the gap helps to ensure the boards are level with each other and prevents the other side of the flooring from moving. It can take some trial and error to figure out. You want enough weight on the opposite side so that the planks will snap together.

    I haven’t worked with vinyl planks so not too familiar with them. With the wood ones you had to be careful not to break the tongue sections.
