Well it depends on how agile your pup is. I’ve seen dogs scale a 6’ fence with ease, but they are the exception.

Hi, I love this room and Hague Blue is one of my favourites! I would suggest a flat weave rug for this space. Flat weaves tend to be easier to clean as the dirt doesn't as easily get into the fibers, and they don't pull by little paws so easily. They have worked really well in my own home with three small children (and two dogs we often dog sit)! With regards to flat weave/dhurries there are lots of options. Safavieh has some great dhurrie rugs at a reasonable price point on Wayfair, so that might be worth exploring. West Elm has some wonderful kilim style rugs that would suit your modern space quite well too, and I believe many are on sale at the moment. Another suggestion might be a natural fiber rug like a jute with a cotton border which can be ordered online by the sq ft very easily. Both the internal rug and the outer border come in a variety of shades and materials to suit your budget and taste. A final suggestion would be to look at some indoor/outdoor options which are made from a really soft plastic (many you wouldn't even know are plastic) and can literally be hosed off in the garden. Check out Dash and Albert. Otherwise, have the white vinegar ready and enjoy your puppy! Hope this was helpful!

I like the way this has been incorporated in the decor. Having found a larger version of the image here: http://madebymood.com/inspired-dog-crate-covers-decorating-ideas-for-laundry-room-contemporary/dazzling-dog-crate-covers-in-hall-traditional-with-garage-dog-kennel-next-to-baby-gate-alongside-dog-door-anddog-kennel/ It seems to be welded wire mesh. To get the diamond effect rather than square I suspect you'd just have to buy a larger square sheet and rotate it 45 degrees to get the diamond orientation (I agree it looks much nicer this way round - less prison-esque somehow!). Here's some links I found (the first one seems to have loads of options so you could probably email them the pic and size you need and let them recommend something): https://www.weld-mesh.com/welded-mesh?view=products https://www.sure-green.com/products/welded-wire-mesh/welded-wire-mesh-panels.php?product=597&utm_source=adrac&utm_medium=shopping&gclid=Cj0KEQjww7zHBRCToPSj_c_WjZIBEiQAj8il5JuruAh6HSXMzjE3FxfLbNU9qY5U93ukrxXknENpPDIaAt4W8P8HAQ http://www.screwfix.com/p/apollo-13mm-galvanised-welded-mesh-0-9-x-6m/53558?kpid=53558&gclid=Cj0KEQjww7zHBRCToPSj_c_WjZIBEiQAj8il5Dj9SXlTmEhS7unyoc26zaBCmki3n0MG_GhmW64aV0caAsnS8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CPLuzaDmodMCFdqsUQodvzwJpg

Update: we bottled out and went for traditional wooden gates in the end! We're delighted with them (and so is our dog who can see right through!). Took the advice to remove the pillar lights and placed uplighters at the bottom of the pillar and planted roses under them. As always, thank you for all your wonderful comments and help.

I have a garden on the slope, so feel your pain. I ended up planting a row of buxus and 8 rose bushes at the edge of the drop, to stop my then 4 yrs old and her friends falling over. It helped, whereas before they naturally gravitated towards the edge, almost giving me a heart attack
