Best material for fence?

Question

Hello, I want to fence off some space for my dog in the back garden but he jumps up at everything. I’m worried he will get splinters in his paws/snout from the wood. What would be the best material or type of wood to avoid him getting hurt?

William · Answer

You would probably be better getting a metal fence because no matter what wood if the dog scratches or bites at it it will create splinters. You can get a plain metal fence probably as cheaply as you can get a used fence and paint it up, saving money aswell and the dog won’t be hurt either

Nathan · Answer

A metal fence might be best for dogs, or a seasoned treated panel

Hardboard then varnish be no splinters and it will protect your pet dog

Osman · Answer

Hardwood is the way to go and then use varnish to seal it and stop splintering.

Don’t use wood as the dog can chew this causing it splinters in mouth ur looking to build a cage idea so use light weight metal you should be good with that

It s better a wood fence and on the top of that put a plastic straight on just in case if he want to jump to don t make contact with wood

Gary · Answer

If you're worried about splinters use wire fencing. It will last longer than timber, particularly if he keeps jumping up on it. Just make sure it's high enough so that he cannot jump or climb over it.

Euan · Answer

Your general fencing material is treated for weather conditions do best to stick to that, timber yards stock plenty of it . 

Go for green rather than brown (not actually green , just not stained brown) it’s usually pretty smooth. Any suspect bits , give them a quick sand.
