Best Fence Types for Dog Owners

Antelis Fence & Hardscapes

Keeping a dog safely in the yard takes more thought than just putting up any fence. Here's what Huntersville dog owners should know when choosing a fence type.

Watch Gap Spacing

Small or determined dogs can squeeze through wider gaps. Solid wood or vinyl privacy panels eliminate this issue entirely, while aluminum or ornamental fencing needs closer picket spacing for smaller breeds.

Consider Height and Jumping

Check for Digging Risk

Persistent diggers can tunnel under a standard fence line. Burying the bottom of the fence a few inches, or adding a buried barrier along the base, helps prevent escapes for dogs prone to digging.

Wood, Vinyl, or Aluminum?

Solid wood or vinyl privacy fencing offers the most reliable containment with no visibility gaps. Aluminum works well too as long as picket spacing is appropriate for your dog's size.
