Is the Best Fence for Dogs Vinyl, Wood or Aluminum?

The best fence for your dog is the one that keeps them safe at a price you can afford with a look that you can appreciate. At Pennant Fence Company, we are proud to take care of our customers and we enjoy helping our customers protect your dogs and puppies with the perfect privacy fence.   The best fence is different for every home or business.  Each material has its pros and cons.  Vinyl fences, wooden fences and aluminum fencing all make great puppy fences.  Which material you choose depends on several factors.  We can assist you with all residential fences and commercial fencing systems.

What's the Best Fence for My Jacksonville Florida Neighborhood?

Many neighborhoods and communities have requirements, rules and restrictions for the appearance of the landscaping and fencing around your home.  Fortunately, many communities allow for 6 foot vinyl fencing in white and tan.  This is very good choice of  dog fencing for your large dog.  When the fencing is installed close to the ground, the dog will not be able to escape underneath.  With the typical panels, the dog is unable to see what is happening outside of the fence and this will help to maintain peace.  If your dog barks at every car, truck or pedestrian that walks by, it could be annoying to you and the neighbors.  

Is a Vinyl Fence or an Aluminum Fence Better for the Florida Weather? The warm, wet weather in Florida means that we have to take care in selecting the material and that we have to factor in the upkeep that will be required to keep the pet fence at its best.  We also want to plan for our dog or puppy to be outside for several hours at a time during the spring and summer months.  Ornamental aluminum fences are gorgeous with the right landscaping.  They can be installed at several heights and the vertical rails should be spaced so that your dog can't squeeze through.  The only drawback to aluminum, steel and wrought iron fences and gates is that the dog can see everything.

How High Should A Dog Fence Be? It won't matter what type of fence you select if it's too short for your pooch.  elect a fence height that is tall enough to accommodate the largest dog that you think you will ever have.  Most families have more than one pet while they live in a house so make sure to allow for some variation in dogs.  In most cases we recommend a six-foot high fence.  Even a little dog like a Jack Russell Terrier can jump over a four-foot fence. If a dog is really committed to getting out, they will figure out how to get out of a short or low fence.   Keeping your dog from getting bored or feeling alone can go a long way in keeping them inside the fenceline.  Think ahead in case your dog is a digger, chewer or climber.  Don't purchase a 6-foot vinyl fence system and then place a 3 foot tall storage box next to it.  Your dog will treat is like steps and climb right over the fence.   Also, plan to stay outside with your animal sometimes.  Pay attention to what they do and their favorite areas of the fenced yard.  Walk around the perimeter and look for signs of digging or chewing. 

Why Keep Fences Repaired? Sometimes dogs don't jump over the fence.  With wood fencing it is common for the dog to escape through a loose board.  Or if a board has rotted dogs can kick or charge the board and break through.  This is common if you have a chaser - a dog that chases squirrels, ducks, bike cars or kids.  Make sure the you have fence repairs taken care of right away.  

How Much Will This Fence Cost? Let's face it, fencing is expensive and the larger the yard, the more it's going to cost to enclose your yard.  Plan for one fence installation to cover all the bases. Buy a fence that your dog can jump over, dig under or squeeze through. Costs range from $5 per linear foot to $100+ per linear foot for very ornate ornamental fences like wrought iron fences and gates.

Other Dogproof Fencing Ideas? Chain Link Fencing Dog Runs. If enclosing your entire yard is not in the budget or the terrain is too uneven, you might consider a dog run.  This is a small area of the yard that is fenced in.  The most common material is chainlink fencing.  It's not supper attractive in an upscale neighborhood and it may not even be allowed in the HOA covenants but it could work.  A six-foot chain link fence dog run for 50 square feet costs about $2000.  Wood fences, vinyl fences and aluminum would cost $2000 for just one side of the fenced yard or maybe just a gate.  Chainlink fencing also exposes your dog to all of the elements and heat and they can still see everything that is happening like kids playing, bikers, joggers, other dogs and cats and the mailman.  

Electric Fences or Invisible Fences for Dogs.  If you want to prevent your dogs from roaming but you are hesitant to invest in a vinyl fence vs wood fence, consider a electric dog fences.  These containment systems are good for keeping your dog inside your property line.  The wireless dog fence involves burying underground wires and components that send signals to a receiver collar on the dog.  The shock collar has adjustable levels of correction. The collar can also be used in combination with training your dog.  

Dog Training. It's not a fencing system but investing in dog training can teach your dog to listen to your commands and to respond appropriately.  This will help in keeping your dog safe and prevent them from escaping.

Our fencing company is committed to helping you find the right fencing solutions and fencing material to help you safely contain your dog or puppy. Dogproof fences should also be attractive and add value to the home. We build fencing systems for commercial fencing and residential use.
