By Patrice McCoy


Suitable fencing to keep pets enclosed serves a range of functional purposes.

With the extensive choices that have become available for selecting a dog fence Baltimore residents need to take the time to consider particular features for a suitable selection.

Understanding the habits of your pet and size requirements will allow for the selection of appropriate boundaries.

A wooden fence needs to be treated with suitable varnishing to protect from harsh environmental elements including sun, wind and rain. Plastic or wire mesh does not require any paint or specific processes to maintain its integrity and prevent degradation. Modern options such as the electronic wireless system protect pets by triggering as soon as the pet approaches the boundary and is buried, which means no maintenance.

Wire mesh for fences remains an affordable option to keep pets out of specific areas or to create the necessary enclose. The problem with this material is that it can cause significant injuries where animals may push their snouts through openings or attempt to scratch through the boundary. It is always important to determine the safety features of such items before a decision is made.

All fencing should be installed correctly, which means placing deep into the ground that will prevent pets from being able to burrow or force through. Consider a suitable height to prevent dogs from the ability to scale the fence. Many dogs have become lost or been accidentally knocked by an oncoming vehicle due to inappropriate enclosures.

Consider the habits of your pet and whether moder electronics or traditional picketing is more suitable. To ensure your pet remains happy, safe and healthy, take the time to select the right type of fencing.
