We’re buying an apartment with a small fenced-in outdoor area. About a third of the outdoor area is dirt, and the rest is poured cement. There’s a gap between the bottom of the fence and we’re worried that our small dog will be able to wriggle through.

The large gap over the dirt can easily be filled (perhaps anchor a small piece of metal or wood fencing in the dirt, fronted by plants). However, we haven’t come up with an attractive solution to narrow or cover the gap over the cement portion. Can anyone think of any low-cost solutions? We’d like to remove the concrete at some point, but it’s just not in the budget for now. The gap is approximately 5 inches high.
