Does
your pet dog yearn to escape the confines of your garden into the wide world
beyond? Sturdy garden fencing and gates, kept in good repair, will save you
worry and heartache.
High Fencing Keeps
in Big Dogs
Many
large dogs can jump quite high. For this we recommend that the best fencing
materials are strong, six-foot, close-board wooden fencing panels or larch-lap
panel fencing. If you are worried about your dog digging underneath the fence,
we advise that you do the digging first,
and put a galvanised wire mesh into the ground beneath your fencing. Romford, Brentwood
and other Essex residents also often make their fences even higher by topping
them with decorative trellis.
Fences
like these also help to keep out the wildlife you prefer to see outside your
garden, such as urban foxes in towns like Upminster and Hornchurch. Fencing this high
is also essential to stop the prying eyes of potential dog thieves.
Fences
could also protect areas of your garden from your pets. You don’t really want
them rampaging through your vegetable patch or a perfect flower bed. With a
little dog training, an attractive picket fence could suffice here without
spoiling the look of your garden.
If
you have a small dog, or an elderly one that can’t or won’t jump very high, you
might prefer a lower picket fence for your boundary as well, though it won’t be
as effective in deterring wild life or thieving criminals. Many homes use a
picket fence at the front, with higher and sturdier fencing at the back and
sides.
Don’t
forget to make regular inspections to see if you need any fence repairs. And
remember that fences with gravel boards and concrete posts between the panels
are the most long lasting.
