Dog's Toys Barrier

Have you ever got into this situation?

Picture this, you have a dog, and when playing all the toys ends under the sofa.

Two things can happen, the dog gets anxious and starts bothering, or gets sad and gives at you "that look".

I thought that i was the only one who happens this, until i found this image on the net (a dramatic version, but same problem), and started this solution.

I thought on a design that must fulfill three conditions:

-Needed to be cheap

-Easy to install and remove

-No special skill required, so to be made by everyone.

After that, i found this solution, with materials that could be found on Walmart for less than $ 10 USD.

-You will need a few swimming noodles (the kind with a hole in the center)

-Some rope

-A piece of metal or a stone, small and heavy enough to get trough the hole of the swimming noodles.

First, we measure the space we need to cover.

If it's more, we might complete it with another piece of another swimming noodle.

The first step is to pass the rope through the swimming noodle.

Then, we make a simple knot in one "leg" of the couch.

In my case, i have an "L" shaped couch, so i used a knot to make a "brake". The rope is longer and i dont want the swimming noodle to be moving.

Then, i cuted the rope about a foot longer than necessary, in order to make the other knot.

Repeating this simple step, you can make as many barriers as you need.

With this few basic steps, you can block any surface that gives you trouble.
-Measure and cut.

-Pass the rope through the noodle.

-Make a knot one end, cut the rope with an extra, tie the other end.

-Measure and cut.

-Pass the rope through the noodle.

Your pet will thank you.
