Your Dog Needs a Real Fence — Not a Suggestion

The "perfect fence" depends entirely on your dog. A 4-foot picket won't hold a husky. A see-through aluminum fence will set off a reactive shepherd. A standard wood privacy panel can be dug under in a weekend by a determined beagle. At S&S Fencing, we build dog and pet fencing across Louisville and Kentuckiana around the dog you actually own — height, sight-lines, dig-guard, and gate hardware all dialed in.

The Right Material for Your Dog

Wood or Vinyl Privacy (6'): Best for reactive, anxious, or large dogs. Removes sight-line triggers (other dogs, joggers, mail carriers) and gives them a calm yard.

Chain-Link (5-6'): Cost-effective, durable, and easy to add a top-rail or lean-in topper for jumpers. Black vinyl-coated chain-link blends into landscaping better than galvanized.

Ornamental Aluminum (5-6'): Clean look for the front yard. Add "puppy picket" bottom panels to keep small dogs and puppies from squeezing through the standard 4" rail gaps.

Standalone Kennels & Dog Runs: Galvanized or black chain-link kennel panels with a concrete pad and shaded roof — great for working dogs, breeders, and rescue setups.

Dig-Guards, Jump-Stops & Escape-Proofing

Buried bottom rail — 6-12" below grade so paws hit wood, not dirt
Concrete kick-board — a poured strip at the fence line; the gold standard for diggers
Buried hardware cloth apron — flexes with the terrain, invisible from the yard
Lean-in toppers — angled top-rail extensions that stop climbers and jumpers
Self-closing, lockable gates — magna-latch or drop-rod hardware so gates can't be nosed open

Multi-Dog Households & Yard Splits

Got dogs that don't get along? Kids and dogs that need separate space? We design split-yard fence layouts with internal gates so your yard works for everyone. We've built dozens of these across Louisville suburbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the dog. For large, energetic breeds we recommend 6' wood or vinyl privacy to remove sight-line triggers. For medium dogs, 5' chain-link or ornamental aluminum works well. For escape artists, we add a buried bottom rail or concrete kick-board to stop digging.

4' is the minimum for small dogs. 5' is standard for medium dogs. 6' is recommended for large or jumping breeds (huskies, shepherds, retrievers). For Olympic-level jumpers, we add a lean-in topper.

Yes. We bury the bottom rail 6-12 inches, pour a concrete kick-board, or run buried hardware cloth as a dig-guard. Most aggressive diggers stop within a few weeks of a properly built dig barrier.

Yes. Standalone chain-link dog runs, kennel enclosures with concrete pads, and split yards (kids on one side, dogs on the other) are common requests. We'll design around your yard.

We focus on physical fences — they're more reliable, work in power outages, and contain dogs that have learned to push through buried-wire systems. We're happy to consult on the right physical option for your dog.
