Dudley weighs 110lbs. There's not a redwood/nail fence in the world that can withstand bumping and pushing from an pile-driver that size. It doesn't happen easily...he works and works at it until he has beaten the fence down. He sometimes just pops the nails off the posts, but more often than not, he actually breaks the corral boards. Until you've seen first hand what a large sulcata can do, you just won't believe it. My fences are secure, but not against that bulldozer.
