    paving slabs, they can be made of rubber or cement, then again you could make a slightly raised wooden structure, all of this you can move on with you when you leave, do not cement anything in, you would pave a nice area with the cement paving slabs for 100 euro, where by the rubber version made out of recycled tyres or recycled out of tyres are 13 euro each, where the the cement ones are about 2 to 3 euro each, the wood i would not know but i should think that 100 would go a long way to a diy job, the cement and rubber pavers are same size 18 inches

    there is that lovely picket style fencing, you could purchase at hardware stores it is very simply made if you do find it too expensive, again what size will the area be, again you could make shure you could move that with you also as it would just require a few small stakes in ground and it screwed onto it, all can be lifted when you move on,
    it can be 2,3,4feet high and 6ft in length panels
