Pet containment
Diggers, jumpers, fence-runners, five-pound escape artists — we've fenced them all. Tell us the dog; we'll match the material, the height, and the bottom-of-fence details so the yard holds.

Match the fence to the dog
There's no single "dog fence." There's the right material for your dog's size, athleticism, and habits. These are installed ranges, not teaser rates.
The workhorse for most dogs
$19–$34 per linear foot installed
Chew-proof, climb-resistant at height, zero maintenance, and the most affordable containment we build. Galvanized or black-coated. Go 6 ft for athletic breeds. If your dog patrols the line all day, this is the fence that doesn't care.
Jumpers, reactive dogs, escape artists
$42–$57 per linear foot installed
Six feet of solid board removes the jump route and the visual trigger at the same time. Fence-fighters and barrier-reactive dogs calm down when they can't see the neighbor dog, the sidewalk parade, or the delivery guy.
HOA neighborhoods, calm dogs
$47–$61 per linear foot installed
The HOA-approved look with real containment. Ask for tight bottom picket spacing (the 'puppy picket' style) if you've got a small dog — standard spacing can let a determined chihuahua through.
Privacy without the stain schedule
$45–$69 per linear foot installed
Everything wood privacy does for a dog, with no maintenance and nothing to chew off. Smooth face means no toe-holds for climbers. Costs more up front; owns less of your weekends.
Quick match
4–5 ft chain link or aluminum with puppy pickets
$19–$34 per linear foot installed
The risk is through, not over. Tight mesh or narrow bottom picket spacing keeps the smallest resident in — standard aluminum spacing can be a doorway for a chihuahua, so we spec the 'puppy picket' bottom row in HOA neighborhoods.
5 ft chain link — the workhorse
$19–$34 per linear foot installed
Beagle through boxer with no jumping record: 5 feet of galvanized or black-coated chain link is durable, chew-proof, climb-resistant, and the most affordable containment we build.
6 ft smooth-faced privacy
$42–$57 per linear foot installed
Huskies, shepherds, pointers, and anyone with an escape record: six feet of solid board removes the jump route and gives climbers nothing to grab. Vinyl does the same job with zero maintenance.
6 ft privacy + tight grade control
$42–$57 per linear foot installed
Barrier-reactive dogs calm down when the trigger disappears — solid board blocks the view. For diggers, we set the bottom tight to grade on driven posts a digger can't work loose, with a buried mesh apron on the repeat offenders.
Know your escape artist
A dig-out starts where the fence bottom leaves a head start. We set the bottom tight to grade, and our driven-steel posts hold line tension that a digger can't work loose — the classic dig-out happens where a rotted wood post lets chain link sag into a pet door. For repeat offenders, a buried mesh apron along the favorite corner ends the career.
Height solves jumping; surface solves climbing. Six-foot smooth-faced privacy (wood or vinyl) gives an athletic dog nothing to grab. Chain link is climbable for a motivated few — if your dog has summited before, tell us and we'll spec the build accordingly instead of selling you a rerun.
Barrier-reactive dogs don't need more fence — they need less view. Solid privacy board turns the sidewalk parade invisible and most fence-fighting stops when the trigger does. It's the cheapest behavior modification you'll ever buy.
The risk flips: it's not over or under, it's through. Picket and aluminum spacing that looks fine for a lab is a doorway for a chihuahua. We spec tighter bottom spacing ("puppy pickets") or chain link mesh so the smallest resident stays a resident.
The height guide
Small breeds, seniors, and homebodies. Also the front-yard cap in most Indiana cities and HOAs — which is why back yards do the heavy lifting.
The safe middle for most dogs — beagle through boxer — with no jumping record.
Athletic breeds in their prime and anyone with a documented escape. Huskies, shepherds, pointers: start here, don't work up to it one rebuild at a time.
One more rule that costs nothing: keep the launchpads — firewood, planters, patio furniture, AC units — off the fence line. Most "he cleared the six-footer" stories start from a boost.
Smaller footprint
Don't need the whole yard fenced? A chain-link run along the side yard — typically 10×20 to 10×40 with a walk gate — gives the dog a dedicated space for a fraction of a full perimeter. Popular with hunters, mudroom-adjacent layouts, and anyone protecting a garden from a determined nose. Same driven-steel posts, same gate hardware, sized to your dog. If the run shares a line with a future full fence, we lay it out so nothing gets rebuilt later.
The honest comparison
"I get asked about wire-and-collar systems every month. Straight answer: that's training, not a barrier. It works right up until the squirrel matters more than the beep — and it does nothing about what comes into your yard. I install fences you can lean on."

Common questions
What dog owners ask before they sign — no fluff.
The best fence is the one matched to your actual dog. For most dogs, 4–6 foot chain link is the workhorse — durable, chew-proof, and the most affordable containment Dave installs. For jumpers, escape artists, and reactive dogs that fence-fight through visibility, 6-foot wood privacy removes both the route and the trigger. Aluminum with tight 'puppy picket' bottom spacing suits HOA neighborhoods with calm dogs. Tell us the breed, age, and escape history and we'll match the build to the behavior.
