A fence can create a barrier that will help keep out both wild animals and potential intruders. The fence can also help prevent your child from wandering off or going somewhere they are not supposed to.

If you cannot be there to monitor the fire all night and ensure that hot ashes are covered, then there are alternative options that you can look into.
