If you’ve got a dog at home, you already know how important a good fence is. Dogs like to run, sniff, and chase just about anything that moves. A solid fence keeps them safe in the yard and gives you peace of mind.
At Cantrell Fence, we help a lot of dog owners across East Tennessee pick fences that work for their pups and their yards.
Wood Fences Keep Dogs In and Distractions Out
Wood fences are one of the best choices for dogs. They block the view, which helps keep dogs calmer since they can’t see folks or animals walking by. A solid wood fence also keeps most dogs from jumping or squeezing through. With regular care and fence staining, wood fences can last a long time. You can learn more about our wood fencing here.
Vinyl Fences Are Strong and Smooth
Vinyl fences are another good option for dogs. They are solid like wood but don’t splinter or rot. Dogs can’t chew through them, and they’re easy to clean if paws get muddy. Many pet owners like vinyl because it stays in good shape with little work. You can see more about our vinyl fencing here.
Chain Link Fences Work for Active Dogs
Chain link fences are a common choice for dog owners, especially for big yards. They are tough and hard for dogs to break. You can also add privacy slats if your dog gets worked up seeing outside the yard. Learn more about our chain link fencing here.
Aluminum Fences for Calm Dogs
Aluminum fences work well for dogs that are not big jumpers. They look nice and last a long time, but they are more open, so they’re better for calmer pets. You can learn about our aluminum fencing here.
No matter which fence you choose, proper fence installation is key to keeping dogs safe. If you want to see examples of our work, check out our gallery or read more about us here.
