Here are some ideas that you should be open to when looking for your very own dog fence.
Part of the joy of owning a dog is letting them run loose in your yard. However, that’s not so easy if you don’t have a fence. A dog fence allows your dog to get valuable exercise and might let you in on the fun too. There are all kinds of options out there as well, ranging in size and function. What’s right for you and what dog fence will work for your pup? Well, that can depend on a number of factors! Here are some ideas that you should be open to when looking for your very own dog fence.
Wood Fences
If you want to go traditional, you can’t go wrong with wooden dog fences. They offer a natural look, are customizable so you can create one to fit your needs, and they can offer a good amount of privacy depending on what type you pick. Speaking of, there are many styles to consider—a picket fence is a classic, split-rail fences are also minimalistic but look great, and pallet fences can be a fun DIY project to work on if you only need a dog fence for a smaller area of your yard. Wood fences are one of the easiest options to recommend to people as they’re just so commonly installed.
Metal Fences
Looking for something durable yet affordable? Look no further than a metal dog fence. Something like a chain link fence can help keep your dog social and able to watch your yard for you. You could also go with something more ornamental like steel or aluminum, which can add some extra aesthetic pop to your yard, though they can be quite costly as an option.
Vinyl Fences
Plastic is very common in dog fences. Specifically, you might want to look at vinyl fencing, which is great because it requires little maintenance and doesn’t crack, rot, or splinter. You can even make vinyl fences look just like a wooden fence. Vinyl fences are easy to clean and are durable enough to last you for years to come, so this is one option that should be considered if you’re looking for a fence for your dog.
Invisible Fencing
If you only want to keep your dog from going where it shouldn’t and don’t care about any of the other benefits of fencing like security or privacy, there is the unique option of choosing an invisible fence. This could be a wireless dog fence, which requires additional training, or some people even use wired fences, which can hurt your dog. If possible, look into a physical boundary or try a wireless dog fence.
