Dog Fences & Pet Containment Layouts: Designing Your Fence

The Perimeter Layout:

  • This first layout is the most common and popular installation.  Your pet is protected from unexpected escapes from all doorways and exits and has complete freedom to play in your entire yard.  PETCARE HIDDEN FENCE typically recommends keeping the fence at least 10' from sidewalks as a neighborhood friendly practice.  

The Hour Glass Layout:

This second layout gives you more control over your pets location and yet shares all benefits of the perimeter loop. Your pet will stay where you put them, in either the back or front yard; the side yards are blocked.  Popular with households that have pets who love to jump on arriving company!

The Double Loop:

This third layout requires us to run two wires in parallell and it can be done for back or front yard.   Some of your doors will be unprotected, as only one side of the house wil be blocked.  This is usually the least popular option for a number of reasons.
