Pet-Friendly Fencing

Keeping your furry friends safe and secure in your yard is a top priority. At Alpine Fence Co., we understand that a pet safe fence is more than just a property line; it brings peace of mind. Since 1970, we have been “Building Better Fences” for homeowners throughout Seattle, WA, ensuring that dogs, cats, and other pets have a safe place to roam and play.

Overview of Pet-Friendly Fencing

A true pet friendly fence does two things well: it keeps your pets inside your yard and keeps unwanted visitors out. Every pet is different. A large, energetic dog needs a tall, sturdy barrier, while a small puppy requires tight spacing to prevent slipping through. Whether you need a traditional physical barrier or are looking into a pet-safe wireless fence or a pet-safe in-ground fence system to complement your yard, our team will help you find the right solution for your specific needs.

Suitable Fence Types for Pets

Choosing the right material is a big step in keeping your pets secure. We use only the best materials to build fences that last.

  • Wood Fencing: Solid wood fences offer great privacy. They block the view of the street, which helps reduce barking at passing cars or neighbors.
  • Chain Link Fencing: A durable and cost-effective option. It gives your pets a view of the outside while keeping them safely contained.
  • Ornamental Iron and Aluminum: These fences bring a classic look to your Seattle home. We can adjust the picket spacing to prevent small dogs from squeezing through.

Pet-Safe Fence Design Features

Building a reliable fence requires attention to detail. We design our pet enclosures with several key safety features:

  • Proper Height: We build fences tall enough to prevent jumping or climbing, specifically tailored to your breed of dog.
  • Anti-Digging Measures: Some dogs love to dig. We can install fences flush to the ground or add bottom rails to stop them from tunneling out.
  • Safe Hardware: We use smooth, high-quality latches and hinges so your pet won’t get scratched or injured if they brush up against the gate.
  • Narrow Spacing: For smaller pets, we ensure gaps between pickets are tight enough to prevent escape.
