Fold-Up Play Fence
Invented by Rod Tempel of Morgan, Minn., the fence consists of a series of interconnected rails and can be set up in any configuration to keep it from tipping over. It's made up of a series of 7-in. long, 3-in. high rails made from cherry, pine or oak. The rails are held together by doweled glue joints that give the fence flexibility. Half the rails have three beams and the other half two beams. There's a latch at one end of the gate.
"You can fold the fence to any shape you want. Conventional plastic fences don't always stay upright on a carpet and are always moving around. My fence is designed to stand up on bumpy carpets without falling over," says Tempel.
The fence sells for $13 plus S&H. A 5-ft. long, 2 1/4-in. high fence is also available and sells for the same price. Tempel also makes a 12-in. wide, 26-in. tall play barn that sells for $69 plus S&H.
