Best Fences for Dogs

Below we’ll outline a variety of different fences that we’ve installed for dog owners to hopefully help you decide what’s best for you and your beloved pet.

Wooden Fences

If your dog is one that typically barks at strangers or walkers passing by your home, you may be in the market for a wooden fence. If you install a solid wooden fence that’s not slatted, you’ll be able to block distractions such as cars on the street or a neighbor’s home from your dog’s view. You can also install wood fences fairly high, which can discourage dogs from attempting to jump over the fence and head out on the town.

Vinyl Fences

Vinyl fences will not split, rot or warp like wooden fences. In addition, vinyl fences are more durable and many have warranties that can be attractive to homeowners. Maintenance is much easier compared to wood fences too, simply throw a bit of soap and water on your fence and it will look brand new.

Chain Link Fences

If you’re looking for the most economical dog fence option, you likely will want to look at chain link fences. These fences are low cost and low maintenance, making them perfect for an economical dog fence.

Dogs and Digging

One thing to keep in mind is that if your dog is a digger, you’ll want to bury your fence at least 6 inches underground. This way you won’t come home to a hole under your fence and no Fido!

I had a great experience with Twin Cities Fence. There was a delay with my installation start date, but once they started, they did an excellent job. Maynard and Jake were super friendly and did a great job!

I hired TCF for the demo and replacement of my 6 foot cedar fence of my house in Minneapolis. From the time of the first quote appointment until project completion, I only experienced polite, competent interactions with every member of the team. The quote was specific and included itemized options for cost transparency. And, they didn’t oversell, and were respectful of my decisions. Though start date was delayed by two days, they kept it to a two day project, did beautiful work (that will clearly last), and were super respectful of my space. These are nice people, I would hire them again!

Your installers were professional and hard working. Within one day they removed my old fence and installed my new fence. I was out of town so they kept me informed during the construction process. My neighbor who watched the fence being built said they were friendly and nice guys. Thanks! We love our new fence!!!!

Used TCF twice now. Both times there were actually able to move up install date and beat the competition. They also did a great job.
