Need to fence my backyard

[Johnny Rockets]

Really? My pup just turned 3 months old yesterday and already weights over 20lbs. I'm getting him a little sister in 4 months. Should I get 5 or 6 feet fence?

5 foot fence with barbed wire.

 

 

My girl has a really nice aluminum fence that goes around her pool area and also had one put in for a huge dog lot. I don't know about them personally but she seems happy with their work and she is very picky with stuff like that. It was done a few years ago and I gotta say it looks like they did a great job. No idea about a cost though.

I'm gonna swing by Lowe's today to see prices. If 6 foot fence cost around $70 per sheet, ill just do it myself.

Good fences make for good neighbors and your neighbors thank you.

We had a GSD for years, and a 5-6 foot fence "should" be ok.  Truth be told, GSD's are so smart if they really want out, short of chaining them up (eww) they'll get out.     My parents had a GSD and ripped the chain-link off the front of her kennel door to get out lol.   They came home and she was sleeping on the backporch (also had had a 5-6 foot fence).

oh yes...never underestimate the brain power of the GSD, that's for damn sure.

 

our female opens doors...all kinds of doors...and yes, even just cheap round door knobs.

I was thinking around $4k but not $6k. I will likely do it myself then. It will cost me around $3k to do it myself. $55 for 4x6 sheet. Let's says 300 feet. That's 50 sheets. 50 x 55 = $2,750. But I tell u my backyard is not 300 feet.

 

 

If you are going to do it yourself, make sure you get all The underground utilities located. It's free. it's expensive and dangerous if you cut one.
