If you want a chainlink fence, all you need are posts and a roll of chainlink. You’ll mount the posts and then secure the chainlink to the posts. If you want a fence that looks a bit more solid, then consider agriculture fencing panels.

While chainlink is flexible and easily gives, chicken wire is more solid and won’t flex under the applied weight. To give agriculture fencing panels strength, frame the wire with wood. For a secure fence, place your posts then create a frame with wood beams across the top and bottom. Then secure the panels to the wood.

This fence works well for properties where you don’t have a lot of space. The open look of the thin metal gives the fence a lighter feel.

2. Lattice Dog Fence Ideas

A lattice fence will give your property the look of a wood fence but with more visibility and airflow than a solid fence. The basic structure of the fence is similar to the one that you would build for the agriculture panels. You’ll have vertical posts and a top and bottom horizontal beam to give support. Instead of agriculture panels, you’ll use premade lattice panels.

Some have a square pattern where the lattice is created by having vertical and horizontal lines placed at a 90-degree angle. This creates open square shapes. An alternative lattice pattern is to put the lines at 45 degrees angles for diamond-shaped holes.

If you want to build a lattice fence on your property, consider the size of your property. This fence tends to have a more solid feel and can look overwhelming in more congested areas. It works better on larger properties that can support the solid and large feel of the fence.

3. Privacy Dog Fence Ideas

Are you looking for a fence that does double duty? A privacy fence can contain your dog and provide you with increased privacy from your neighbors. These fences tend to be taller than a standard fence. They are tall enough that someone walking by can’t see over the fence. Most privacy fences are built from wood but you can use any material that will create a solid wall.
