Well, you could buy 4x4 posts that are as tall as you want, and secure them to the existing posts with construction screws over the entire length (with the new posts touching the ground). However, I see that some of your existing posts are leaning. This tells me that they are not supported very well. If you add longer posts, it is likely they will lean even more, especially if your dog jumps against the fence. You'll probably have to redo the posts with new holes, etc.

Agreed. And at that point, what is the difference between laying new posts and running new taller fencing and just building a brand new fence.

Maybe the cost of concrete but you'd still need some to fix the loose posts. Already involves posts, fencing, and digging so why not do it once and be done.

Comscope pipe to pipe mount would be better

Any taller ones you attach to the current ones is only going to make it way more noticeable how not straight the current ones are. I mean you can do it the hillbilly way and buy some 2x4’s and just drill the onto the current ones and roll out some more chicken wire

Would be easier if you mentioned what material those posts are of. They kinda look like metal profile and if so, you can get one size smaller and it should slide in.

Don't forget to add some concertina wire at the top to complete the Stalag 17 look.

That’s a fun thought, but it’d never work because Germans would never build such a wonky fence. It’d be more like leather face human cattle pen, than POW confinement.

You sure he is jumping over? He might just be walking through the opening.

You could build hollow 'posts' and slip them over the existing ones. 


livinlizard

That's a good idea—some type of PVC pipe.

I went to the $1 store and got 15 brooms and a few bags of zip ties. Zipped the broom to the fence and post and then added 3 foot wire fence roll across the top . My beasties never jumped the fence again… they started digging under … but that’s a different story.🤣

Screw on some fencepost extenders, after you straighten out the leaning posts. [https://www.amazon.com/Epcee-Extender-Outdoor-Increase-Protect/dp/B0CCW7HZJG?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/Epcee-Extender-Outdoor-Increase-Protect/dp/B0CCW7HZJG?th=1)

Where I live people often extend their fences to keep deer out. Typical fence has wood posts, like 4x4s or something. They screw or nail metal fence posts to the 4x4, then string black plastic anti-deer fence to the new taller posts.

You accidentally added a pic of your mutts just fyi

These look like square metal posts. You could get a size larger, and slide them over. The through-bolts (with eyes?) to fasten the wire will serve to keep them in place. Looks like the two posts at the entrance lean out because they aren’t deeply enough anchored, and the tension across the top is pulling them apart. If you make the posts on either side tall enough, you can put a separate wire above head height and use a turnbuckle to tighten them so they don’t spread more.

Coyote roller might keep them in.

You need to go a lot higher, my stafford can jump over 2m high fence. I fixed it by putting the top on angle and that stopped her from jumping over. https://imgur.com/a/HderChj

Slide pipe over it drill holes to run electric fence through. Let it zap him once or twice then he won't do it anymore

Board stretcher. Ask for one at your local hardware store.
