At Detail Fence LLC, we know you want what’s best for your pets. Different animals have different needs when it comes to diet, exercise, enrichment, etc. For example, dogs need a certain amount of time outdoors in order to stay physically and mentally healthy. While you can provide some of this outdoor time by taking your dog for walks on a leash, many dog owners want to provide opportunities for their pets to play in their yards as well. Our team can help you make your yard a safe place for your dog to wander and relax by installing high-quality dog fences to prevent them from roaming too far and getting lost. Keep reading to learn more about what sets dog fences apart from ordinary fences.

What Are Dog Fences?

  • In-Ground vs. Above-Ground — One factor that sets dog fences apart from standard ones is that many dog fences are installed in-ground. This means that the fence posts are partially buried in the earth to extend the barrier underground. These types of fences are helpful for dogs who like to dig, as such dogs can create escape routes for themselves by digging under above-ground fences.
  • Picket Spacing — Dog fences can be made of a variety of materials, including wood, vinyl, chain-link, and more. One factor that sets dog fences apart from traditional fences, regardless of material, is the spacing of the pickets. If pickets have too much space between them, then your dog may be able to slip through and into the street. Because of this, our team always installs dog fences with the individual pickets as close together as possible.
