Your pets deserve a safe place to play.
If your pets are your kids, it makes sense that you would want to keep them safe while they are enjoying your yard! Many families install pet fences to keep their pets safe and not have to worry about them running out in the street or getting into the neighbor’s yard. What are the best types of fences for pets?
Wood Fences
Wood fences can be great options for families with pets, and they give your home a classic look. As long as you make sure that the fence is tall enough and strong enough to withstand your dog or cat, wood can stand the test of time. If you don’t care as much about privacy and security, wood fences might feel excessive. This is especially true if you want a fence that allows your pet to see the outside world (and you as well!).
Chain Link Fences
Chain link fences are very well loved for their affordability, easy installation process, and sturdiness. The holes in the chain link portion of the fence are too small for almost any pet to slip through, and chain link fences are commonly used at kennels for their security. If you have a large dog, they might be able to ram the fence and break through (or at the very least do some damage). Chain link fences do offer great visibility for you and your dog, however.
Split Rail Fences
Split rail fences are the perfect marriage of form and function. They consist of wooden brace posts with cross rails in between. They do create a very strong base that is hard for dogs to break through. You can add fabric or additional reinforcement if you want to make absolutely sure that your pets have no chance of slipping through the posts.
