Even if your pets are indoor creatures of habit, they might still want to go outside. For instance, your dog might think he is king of the castle every time he goes out for a walk and isn’t shy to let everyone in the neighborhood know that. Or you could have a clever, mischievous cat who likes to slink out every time you hold the door open while you’re trying to bring groceries in. Either way, you’re going to need some pet-friendly fences this fall. Here’s how you can do it.
Add a Window
If your dog barks at the neighbors whenever they appear, a privacy fence is going to be your best bet. After all, dogs can easily see through and attempt to climb over chain link fences, which would normally give them the ability to see what’s on the other side without being able to touch it. However, that feeling is also frustrating for a dog, especially a hyperactive one. One solution to create pet-friendly fences is to add a window into your fence. This window doesn’t have to be the typical house window, either, it can be a cut out with a screen in it.
Create Dog Runs
Sometimes, your dog needs to get all that energy out. If you have enough room in your backyard, you can create dog runs attached to your fence. Creating a dog run is one of the best ways to get a pet-friendly fence since you can add a doghouse for them to spend time and seek shelter from the wind and rain. Smaller dogs won’t be able to jump over the fence, and although larger dogs might try, they can burn off excess energy without costing you too much of your home improvement budget!
Add a Catwalk
When it comes to pet-friendly fences, we can’t forget about cats. Use your fence as the base for a catwalk made of wood and wire that allows your cat the highest possible viewpoint to survey their territory and tease the family dog while they’re at it.
Add a Catio
If you’re wondering what a catio could be, it’s like a patio, but built up as a playground for your cat. Even though you might have several cat towers and trees inside your home, you can always add more outside for your cats to play together while you sit outside tending your bonfire and eating smores.
