I have climbers and escape artists too. My DS1 climbed our fence and decided to go to the park by himself while I was feeding DS2. I have seen him scale pool fences too. DS1 is even more agile at 20 months so I am going to have my work cut out for me with him! Crossing a busy road is my biggest worry, but you have endless dangers to consider. No wonder you are exhausted!
What about the fences that angle back toward you at the top rather than being straight all the way up? Like the have on prisons, but obviously without the razor wire.I don't think an electric fence is a problem though. I would also keep working on your DS and getting him to understand why he can't run off. It shouldn't be too long before he gets the picture. I think it was about 3 that DS1 stopped escaping.
Do whatever you think will work, cause you will go absolutely bonkers worrying about 2 kids, and you will never be able to keep a constant eye on both of them.
ETA, Just saw Junglemum's response... might as well go with the razor wire on the angled fence.![]()
