What to check before installing a dog fence | Print View | PDF View

In choosing a dog fence, many things must be considered. Here are some things you must prepare for:

Measure the optimum size of the fence. Size matters and bigger is better. Dogs, from Chihuahuas to Labs, need physical activity and movement to keep them mentally and physically healthy. Carefully measure and set aside the largest area that your property can yield. Dog run fencing based on meshed easy-to-install fences opens up seriously large dimensions while smaller more restricted but potentially sturdier dog kennels offer a good alternative.

Identify food, water and weather protection needs. Space, layouts, overhead weather protection and a quiet resting zone should be carefully assessed before finalizing your outdoor dog fence.

Budgets and costing - impact-resistant fences made from plastic materials give tremendous flexibility in terms of your property layout and cost around $1.40 per linear foot, including fencing material, posts and ground anchor hardware. Most robust and secure fences that cost higher are chain-metal dog kennel fencing systems that offer modular panels and integrated access gates.

Burrowing underneath - by their nature, pet containment fences keep furry friends inside. However, dogs are smart and instinctively examine every inch of your perimeter dog fence or dog kennel to see if there's a weak spot where they can dig under, jump over or speed dial a locksmith to assist in an escape.

Think like a dog and walk every foot of your pet fencing, looking for loose soft ground. Make sure that your ground anchors along with rocks or other weighty objects properly seal the fence from a burrowing pet.

Modular dog kennels - bomb-shelter rugged engineering is what families get when constructing a modular dog kennel. Dog kennel fencing materials vary but the accepted standard is some form of anodized aluminum chain-metal fencing.
