Dog fencing

tritriagain

I have about 30 metres of concrete post and rail type fencing I need to protect. I was going to run chicken wire but my brother said he did that and it was useless. Any ideas.

So you have concrete fencing and you want to protect it from the dog is it ?

type of doggo?
height of fencing ?

basic chicken wire is useless for a big doggo, have a look a good grade shielded chain link maybe even unshielded will do depending on the size of the madra

2 cocker spaniels not really interested in escaping and a cavalier who wouldmake houdini look like an amateur. It won't need to be high more worried about them going under than over.

Ah yes diggers , your going to have to bury it so, I dug a ft deep channel and buried mine in concrete.

And before anyone says I'm overboard with my fencing there are 300 sheep up the road.

Yes you’ll have to bury it or you could teach them not to dig. What I mean is give them an appropriate place to dig.

We’ve a Yorkie x and he loves to dig so we made him a sandpit with high sides that he and our Pom x play in all the time.

:D:D

We used sheep wire all the way around our property. Got pallets, stripped them, and hammered the strips/planks at the base of the wire, nailed to the posts. Kept everyone in/safe.

Is your cavalier a digger?

The plastic coated (green) wire looks good, and you could bury that to discourage digging.

once spent a couple of hours dog proofing the fences around a rental in wildest Donegal where the landlord had sheep alongside..

Three well grown JRT pups...

Went inside.. .made coffee then glanced through the window and yep, there they were, racing across the field.

thats a badger fence design but it'll do for dogs too
