My father and I built a cute little white picket fence about a foot and a half high to put around the tree, since our cat likes to hide under it, and play with the ornaments. We got the pickets at Lowe's--they were supposed to be for a garden, and were connected together with wire. We pulled the individuals pickets off, made them a little shorter, and made cross rails to hold them together. Our tree is in a corner, so the fence is 3-sided, and hinged together. It really works! Boo doesn't even try anything with it in place. It's also really festive!
