Here are some problems fencing can have that can lead to dogs escaping your yard.
When you have a fence around your yard, it gives you the freedom to let your dog out and get some fresh air. Or so you might think. While many fences can keep dogs safely in your yard, others might not be as capable of containing your pet. Fences that have significant damage are easier to bypass, meaning dogs have an easier time escaping and getting into danger. Here are some problems fencing can have that can lead to dogs escaping your yard. (more…)
By dog-proofing your fence, you’ll have peace of mind every time you let your pet outside.

They give you everything from kisses and cuddles to company and a playmate, and they’re always there to love you back.

Here are some things to consider about dog fences for your beloved canine companion. (more…)
We all love our dogs and think they are the best things on earth. They always provide us with endless love, slobbery kisses, and a warm cuddle buddy, so why not provide them with the best possible outdoor environment to enjoy while you’re out and about or taking care of boring human responsibilities? (more…)
Summer is on its way, which means plenty of time outside in the sun is ahead. Maybe this is the first summer your son or daughter is old enough to play in the yard alone. This could be the summer when you decide to finally get the puppy you have always wanted, or it’s possible you finally have time to replace the fence that has been on your list since the winter. How do you possibly decide which is right for you? Let Hercules Fence help.
Some things for you to consider while making your decision are:
Budget-How much am I willing to pay?
Privacy-Do I want the public to see into my yard?
Materials-Do I need to keep something in or just need decoration?
Let us also look at specific scenarios for needing a fence. If you are buying a fence for the purpose of keeping a dog within a yard, a PVC vinyl fence would be the best option. At Hercules Fence, we use only the most durable material when installing a PVC fence. This will prevent your dog from climbing over the fence or chewing on the fence if he/she gets bored. A PVC vinyl fence would also work well with children in the yard. The fence won’t warp and it will be difficult for them to do any damage to the material. Climbing will also be tough to do as well. A vinyl coated chain link fence from Hercules Fence would suit a child well too. The coating prevents any rusting or damage to take place and will also prevent the child from climbing out of the yard. Anything with larger space like wood railing would be a danger to a child.
If the goal isn’t to keep something in, but to decorate your yard, try a custom wood or ornamental aluminum fence. An aluminum fence compliments any type of landscaping and is able to withstand the elements with little upkeep. A custom wood fence allows you to add a rustic feel to your home, and privacy too if you choose. Wood fences can be used as privacy fences and can be treated or untreated to suit your decorative needs.
At Hercules Fence, we strive to ensure that you choose the fence that’s right for you. With 6 convenient locations, you are sure to find the fence of your dreams with Hercules Fence. Call or visit the location nearest you. Offices are located in:

A custom wood fence is an excellent residential fence. This fencing can be used for a variety of landscapes and its very flexible in fence design.
But how do you know if a wood fence is perfect for your property? There are so many choices but the two biggest choices you’ll make when picking a wood fence are stylistic considerations for form and the practical function of your fencing.
A custom wood fence is more for style than security function.
Here are some great wood fences you can take for consideration for your home property:
– Split rail wood fence for its rough and rugged posts for ranch style houses or landscape designs seen in the south west of the U.S.
– The picket style fencing for a natural fit. It blends well with cottage style homes and English cottage gardens.
If privacy function is a top priority for your fencing choice, wood fences are a great choice for privacy fencing. A wood fence can be used as both a noise barrier and visual barrier.
For example, you can have installed a stockade style wood fence to create a solid visual barrier that offers you almost total privacy. If that’s not your style, try a tall picket fencing or a partial privacy fence like a lattice wood fencing.
No matter your choice, Hercules Fence is here to provide you a superior product.

Happy Dog Enjoys New Dog Run Fence at Montgomery County Humane Society.
It is a pleasure for Hercules Fence to do its part in making the community a better place to live and work. Recently, Hercules Fence donated a beautiful dog run fence to the Montgomery County Humane Society (MCHS).
Hercules Fence received a message from Shari Kalina, a volunteer with the Montgomery County Humane Society in Rockville, Maryland about the shelter being very much in need of a local fencing company that could provide and install approximately 100 feet of chain link fencing on their shelter grounds so the dogs could have a place to exercise off-leash.
Prior to the completion of the fencing project, the dogs lacked space to run around. The dogs need living space beyond their cages and a dog run provides the dogs a space to have fun and exercise while increasing their chances of getting adopted.
Bruce and many other volunteers have said the dog run fence has made a tremendous difference lifestyle improvement for the shelter dogs. The Montgomery County Humane Society is thankful Hercules Fence has made this project into a reality. The Humane Society has created a plaque to thank Hercules Fence for this very important contribution to the well being of their shelter dogs. The plaque is mounted on the pen.
