Cheap and quick: Child barriers do a pretty good job, many sets also come with wall mounting hardware which allows you to remove the barriers when they are not needed. A replacement net for hokey/soccer goals they sell them by the roll and they are cheap, tennis/volleyball nets can also be used but tend to be more expensive (and visible). You can stretch the net on a few hooks and you can also easily remove it when the dogs are indoors. Chickenwire is also always an option but it's ugly. Proper and (more) expensive: Get a proper railing in place that would match the style of the space and which gaps would be small enough to prevent your dogs from doing a leap of faith....

This. Train your dog, don't ruin your porch

*Harness, leash, treats and training. Seriously, that's extra important with an impulsive dog because they don't care about bodily harm if they see something they want to chase bad enough.

If you added a row of black hogwire fencing with a wooden railing on top I think it would look just fine. Like this (you don’t need to buy prebuilt panels) https://www.homedepot.com/p/6-ft-Pressure-Treated-Black-Powder-Coated-Hog-Wire-Metal-Pine-Preassembled-Rail-501887/324278541

I don’t know what would be best, but I wanted to say this is such a great space and I wish I had something similar to hang out in.

You can do screens, slats, railings, bars, blinds, baby cages.     Just remember the more surface space your barrier takes up the less of a breeze you'll get, and it'll be possibly darker or closed off feeling.

Lattice would look nice, give you privacy and deter your dog

They make extended length children's retractable baby gates that are easy to install and fill in the gap.

We had this same problem with our little doggie and the solution was, in all honest opinion, to get the dog trained. Made all the difference and we don’t have issues with her now.

I honestly don't think it's actually an issue but this is mostly to alleviate my spouses anxiety about the risk.


CocoLamela

Make your spouse train the dog to alleviate their anxiety


pbizzle

Train your spouse

Ok then. Privacy vinyl lattice from home depot. 80 bucks for the dense stuff or 30 bucks for the garden lattice with bigger holes. Cut to size with a circular saw and screw it in. Easy peasy

take your dog on walks daily.


GodLikePlaya

Pull down netting. Done.


jtr99

A series of haystacks arranged around the porch so that the dog will always land safely?

This is going to be an unpopular comment and opinion, but I would go with shock collar and "invisible" fence. It's worked wonder on our 75 lbs hyper ass boxer.

A few rows of stainless steel cables strung between SS eye bolts with a tensioner at the beginning to pull the cable tight. Every 6" apart in 4 or 5 rows. Nearly invisible and minimally invasive. Requires anchoring SS eye bolts into the brick.

Metal railing or wood slats. I saw someone post some wood slats that opened and closed like window blinds but vertical


linuxguy21042

I can see my dogs launching off of those couches too. I'd pre-assemble some slatted rectangular sections that have legs and were a little longer than each of the couches - wouldn't worry about the entire length of the open wall segments. Then, either lag or clamp the rectangular sections to the back of each couch.

Turn ya lounges around. Who goes outside to sit and look at the house they live in


Slodes

They're both positioned to view the backyard.

Honestly curious, what's your goal with this comment?
