Tips for Building Sturdy Fences for Your Pets

Fences play not only the role of protecting your property from intruders – many structures are also intended to contain whatever and whoever is within the premises, including pets. However, pets, especially dogs, can be very inventive when it comes to sneaking out, so the pet fence needs to be very sturdy and designed to meet special challenges. Here are some features that pet fences need to have:

  • Identify your pet’s favorite escape method – pets can invent various methods to get out: they can brute-force or chew on the fence, they can dig under it, jump over it or open the latch on the gate;
  • Suitable height and thickness – whatever material you choose for your pet-proof fence, make it tall and thick enough to prevent brute-forcing and jumping over;
  • Suitable material – it is a good idea to choose a fence material that is hard enough to resist strong teeth. Metal and masonry fences work best on properties where there are pets around;
  • Suitable design – if your pet tends to dig under the fence, prevent that by laying concrete under the fence or by making sure there is no gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground, not even a thin gap – pets can start digging if they find even the smallest gap.
