Abstract

A fencing apparatus for preventing animals from climbing over a fence, which includes a plurality of first and corresponding second elongated members, is provided. Each of the first and second elongated members pivot relative to each other from a first stationary position to a second variable position. A flexible plastic netting is connected to and extends across the plurality of first and second elongated members. When connected to a vertically extending fence, the fencing apparatus extends from the vertically extending fence such that the second elongated member pivots downwardly upon being subject to a load e.g., by the weight of a climbing animal.
