YIKES! Did you get another call from Animal Control? Your neighbor? or worse, the ER Vet? Let's talk about solving this problem.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
What is a Coyote Roller?
- Coyote Rollers are a 4ft long aluminum rod that attaches to your fence.
- They spin when an animal touches them with its front paws to pull itself over. This keeps them from getting a paw-hold and rolling backward.
- Coyote Rollers need to be installed where the pet will place his front feet. That is usually at the very top of your fence.
- Coyote Rollers do not need any maintenance and work in any weather.
- They hold 250 lbs on center.

For illustrative purposes only, animals will land on their hind legs coming down.
Pet Capabilities:
-
On their first try, dogs and cats will first jump up and try to get a paw hold on the top of the fence.
-
Some pets may try climbing the fence, using what is available on or nearby the fence to give them a boost.
-
Pets can spend a lot of time in a backyard and may get bored. They can be very motivated to get out and have the time to try and try again.
-
Sometime multiple methods may be needed to keep determined pets in.

Your Backyard Fence
- We recommend fence height of 6ft. Your situation could allow for a shorter fence for Coyote Rollers to work. Every backyard/pet situation is different.
- Some larger athletic dog breeds and especially cats could hop over a shorter fence and never touch the top of it. We need the pets to use the Roller to pull up on.
- Nearly any fence style is enough; Wood, Iron, Mason, Chain Link, Vinyl. It needs to have a solid top rail for bracket installation. (ie: not a wire fence)
- Make repairs as needed to ensure its in good condition
Coyote Rollers need to cover the top of your entire fence and gates that surround your yard.
Coyote Rollers are a humane solution for keeping pets IN the yard. Use our guidelines for the proper use of and installation for success. We may have suggestions for those 'tricky' situations too!
