Dog fence

Dog-gone Right!

Kim Bright has recently become the doting owner of Edward. Edward is a three-month-old pure breed Labrador. Much as she loves the attention Edward gets from the neighboring kids, she knows that lack of training can make him a menace for the same
kids.
So she looks up options to train him and she realizes that most dog owners train their dogs at home - in their backyards. Kim has a big backyard and she goes about planning to make her yard the perfect training ground for Edward.
There are a few things Kim starts doing…

Backyard Cleaning

Kim first makes a list of all the items she has in her yard. Once that is done, she eliminates all the elements that are old or are not required anymore. She takes care to see that the there is a lot of free space in the center of the yard and the edges are free of unnecessary obstruction.

Three Basics

The next she does is identifies her needs for the following three criteria:
1) Budget
2) Breed of dog
3) Aesthetics

Choosing the Appropriate Fence

Now, Kim goes through the types of fences. Here's the list she has:
1) Basic Farm Fence: This type of fence consists of a thin steel wire mesh with large rectangular holes at the top and smaller holes at the bottom. It is cheap and is excellent for big dogs.
2) Snow Fence: A snow fence is a wire mesh fabric fence mounted over posts, but with the whole width varying from 2-4 inches. This is one of the cheaper fences available and is again good for large dogs.
3) Chain Link Fence: This fence, as the name suggests, fits like a chain. The steel fabric is stretched over pipes. It is one of the most common fences and can be used for small dogs too. It is more expensive than the ones mentioned above, but it is long-lasting.
4) Split Rail Fences: This is one of the nicer looking fences and the expenses for constructing this is at a medium range. It consists of a wooden board rail with cross boards. You may need to attach a fabric rail at the bottom of the fence to prevent your dog running out.
5) Picket Fences: Perhaps the most fantasized of all fences, a picket fence consists of small boards nailed on larger boards. Picket fences look good and are expensive, but not as expensive as constructing a wall.
6) Wall Fences: A proper stone wall fence done artistically can be the best option to holding your dog within your backyard. It is expensive though and for it to look good, you may need to spend more.
