Best Fence for Dogs

Board-on-board wood privacy, composite (Trex), vinyl privacy, and chain link with a bottom rail set close to the ground are common dog-friendly choices, since they limit gaps and give a clear boundary.

What to think about

• Gaps at the bottom — small or determined dogs can dig or squeeze through a gap that looks minor to a person
• Picket spacing — aluminum and ornamental steel have open gaps that don’t contain most dogs without an added mesh liner (see our aluminum fencing page)
• Height — depends on the dog; a determined jumper needs more height than a standard 4–5 ft run
• Chewing/digging — wood and vinyl can take damage at the base from a persistent chewer or digger

The right choice really depends on your dog’s size and habits. It’s worth mentioning at your estimate so we can plan the layout and any gap fixes around it.
