(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best decorative fences

It looks like a minature picket fence edging (like this, cut in half) - no idea what it might mean, though

There are various privacy screens you can get for chain link fence, e.g. slat weaves or fabric sheets. Those won't prevent the neighbor from digging but they may prevent him from being tempted.

I don't know if this fits in the budget, but this garden fence keeps my two dogs out of my day lilies. http://www.amazon.com/Origin-Point-Folding-32-Inch-10-Feet/dp/B000HHHD7E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1372153157&sr=8-3&keywords=garden+fence

These 6-10 Circuit Indoor Manual Transfer Switchs are a little cheaper alternative.

If you are talking about a panel that is hooked up to the utility service, you will need a transfer switch in addition to a breaker.

Something along the lines of this.

Use spikes.

I put this or 2 foot tall chicken wire around my gardens and it keeps all the rabbits out. I also have timber borders dug into the ground that its attached to so they can't get under it.

IANAL but from what I just looked up. For booby trapping your home (Random nails hidden on the back side of your fence then filed down to cause harm will most likely qualify) can get you 2 to 5 years in a state prison.

You would be better off finding a decorative alternative or something like the amazon link below.

It's almost like a vinyl covering for the fence and it's impossible to scale if installed tightly enough.

E: throw a surveillance camera out there too. Just for good measure. Shitty people tend to get more shitty when confronted with how shitty they are.

Sigh. Pools don't kill dozens of people at once. You can't kill me with a pool. Only I can kill me with a pool. Why aren't there devices out there to make pools safer, like a fence? Oh wait, there are.

Why doesn't the government do anything about pool safety? Oh wait, they did make it the law.

Police officers don't approach suspects with an itchy trigger finger out of fear that they own a pool. They approach them with an itchy trigger finger out of fear they own a gun. The outrage is not just about guns themselves, but the mental gymnastics gun owners will go through to prevent anything from being done at all.
