DIY Coyote Roller Animal Deterrent

Trying to give my cat backyard freedom but he insists on jumping to the roof and escaping. I am installing homemade Coyote rollers on top of my deck railing. You can also do this on top of a fence using the 4x4 posts or on the top side of the fence, which is great for keeping dogs in- or out. I recommend doing 3-4’ length so it will spin better. Tools needed for one section of Coyote Roller: 4 -#10 x 1” flathead screws. 2 4” L Brackets. 2 light duty 3/16” clips. Vinyl coated cable 3/32” in desired length plus at least 1’ extra. 1” PVC pipe in desired length. 3” PVC pipe in desired length. Wire cutters. Screwdriver. Socket wrench. Table saw or hacksaw. Pliers. Drill. This has kept my cat off the roof. I hope this works for you!

No for that just tape bills that you owe to the side of the pvc pipe and you should be fine.

Nice work. We are building a cattle panel fence that is about 6 feet now instead of our 4 foot chainlink. I like this method, as it is much less expensive that the branded rollers!! Cheers!

Very good tutorial! We have a big backyard (1.5 acres) and I want to keep our cats inside and pests outside. The only problem is that the majority of our fence is chainlink attached to metal posts, so I can't screw in the brackets. Do you have any recommendations for how to attach the wire to the top of a metal fence?

@Neartownvethoustonveterinarian 5 жыл бұрын

you can actually install on chain link the same way. It is possible to drill a hole in that pipe. there is actually another video out there that shows him installing on chain link

@Save-A-DogAps 5 жыл бұрын

Great idea. But your cord need to be ON TOP of the bracket (not on the side) before you tighten it. Thag way when the cat add tension to it as tbey jump. The pipe stays straight and spins. If it bends too much. It wont spin. Good luck. Im building one too

I have discovered that to be the case now that the cable has some slack. I will make the adjustments. Thank you for the suggestion.

I imagine you could use any type of cable. I prefer the metal type cable because it remains taught. It was inexpensive at Lowes.

i myself would run the wire thru continually around the whole area instead of putting brackets side by side.

Interesting idea, i may try this. I wonder if it will allow for more or less tension on the cable, I think slack would be a problem for the pipes to roll well.

@billveder1071 4 жыл бұрын

@@amyannes Like neartown explained you can buy it in long sections, I used an electric cut off wheel to cut it but a hacksaw will work. Each end goes in the L-bracket, pvc or pex is on the inside. When your done add a nut to each end of the threaded rod. I used 3/8" threaded rod. Use 1/2" or 3/4" pex, I think 1/2" worked better. You want the pex or pvc reasonably close to the rod so it spins easier. The first mistake I made was using 1-1/2" PVC. It was too heavy, when a cat jumped up and grabbed it, it wouldn't spin. Good luck

@y0nd3r 2 жыл бұрын

This is such a problem all over the United States. Somebody with money needs to sue their city and appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. Cats murder critters on our property and damage our fences with their claws and body weight. The rain gets in all those claw marks and further degrades the wood. It is so completely nuts that I am suspicious that evolution has somehow found a way through cat poop to get humans to protect them at all costs. Think about it. Kitty litter, cat poop, shitty paws on the food counter?
