I have 2 large dog (1 lab, 1 boxer) that we will be keeping in our garage at night to sleep. I've attached a simple drawing of my future garage's dimensions and layout. The shaded area is the potential dog area that I would like to keep them in at night. The red dotted line would be the area that I would need a fence or containment of some type. I do not want them roaming around the whole garage at will and also , need to keep dog hair contained to an area. I wanted to get some ideas from you all on what I can install to keep them contained in this area. It needs to be about 3.5 - 4 ft since my boxer will probably try to climb out at first. I was thinking I could some out bolt it to our walls to keep it sturdy? Also, I'd really like for it to look decent and not a chain linked fence. I know there are some expensive options out there but am trying to keep it under $500 if I can. Do any of you have any ideas on what I can use? Pics, links, anything would really help me out. Looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say.

Thanks

Would rather not use invisible fence or chain link. Want it to look decent.

I bought a portable dog pen similar to this one at petco. Mine is 4 ft tall, 9 gauge wire and has 8 panels 28" wide,spread out it's 18 1/2 feet long. I paid around $90. on ebay. You can connect a couple together to make it larger. It's very rugged and heavy as hell for one person to carry. It even comes with a nice heavy black canvas carry bag.

What? They don't sleep in the bed? Where is that report button............

Seriously, around here there is a huge garage with kennels outside the garage with access through a doggie door into the garage. They can go in if it is cold or be outside.

Then maybe something like a railing for a deck ? Maybe something like this. . .I stole the picture from jlylec's build.
