Designing Dog-Friendly Metal Fences

Design a metal fence with your furry friend’s safety in mind! Read more for our tips.

Homeowners install fences for several reasons, but mostly to protect their property, children, and furry friends. Our dogs are our family’s best friend, so it’s important that they are taken care of throughout the years. One of the best ways to protect your pet is to install a custom metal fence around the perimeter of your property. With a custom fence, you can relax, knowing that your pets are safe from traffic and other elements. Learn more about designing dog-friendly metal fences!

Size Considerations

Pet owners often do not worry about their medium or large dogs fitting through the metal fence gaps, but small dogs are another story. Keep the size of your pet in mind whenever you are installing a new fence. The best way to check if a fence is adequate is to measure the head and shoulders of your dog. Choose a fence with gaps smaller than the widest part of your pet so that they cannot wiggle through. If your puppy will grow into a large dog over the next six to eight months, you may only need a temporary solution. Choose a fence with a standard gap, then purchase a temporary plastic mesh fence to wrap around the base of the structure during Fido’s puppy years. 

Effective, Ornamental Fencing 

One of the best aspects of metal fences is that they can look as beautiful as they are functional! You don’t have to settle for the same fence as your neighbor. Cast pieces can affix to your picket to create an attractive visual experience. Simple pieces fit over the fence or gate pickets and are secured with a tapping screw. Guardian and butterfly scroll decorations are not only visually appealing, but they also act like a dog barrier on a four-foot-tall iron fence.
