Need an escape proof cat fence for your dog or cat?
Our best on the market do it yourself no climb cat fencing is engineered to keep animals in or out. It’s great for both cats and dogs and features no climb fence extenders which direct climbing animals back toward the ground if they attempt to climb the fence.
This climb protection can direct animals back inwards, outwards – or both. This is important for cat and dog rescues where there is a need to separate pets by gender etc. One post with extender keeps pets in while another extender mounted on the same pole keeps pets out.
Shop and buy online today our outdoor customizable cat fences from 6ft high to 8ft high and multiple levels of strength and protection. Our patented components aren’t found anywhere else and have been tested since 2008 with dogs and cats around the globe.
We have been fine tuning this fence system over many years and believe it to be the longes lasting and most effective anywhere. Also, the quality of our fence system is best in class - we only use GAW wire fencing – wire cat fence that has been galvanized after welding and engineered for fence to soil contact (will not rust from the ground up over time). Most wire fence on the market is electro-galvanized or GBW (galvanized before welding – the welds are not galvanized). This is an important distinction when installing a fence you want to last outdoors.
Another important distinction is the thickness and strength of our posts. We use 2 1/2 16-gauge corner posts and 1 5/8 16-gauge line posts (compared to other fence systems that use 1 3/8 posts for everything!!!). This added strength guards against the impacts of winter weather and allows for the use of steel tension cable to reinforce and tighten the fence line.
Cat proof your yard! Our cat fence will do what conventional types of yard fences can’t:
- Most important - it works. Most cats and dogs can be crafty, sneaky creatures, doing almost anything to escape the outdoor area you set up for them. Most conventional fences can be climbed by cats and dogs. For many years this same fence system has been tried and tested (sometimes with 100s of enclosed and separated cats in a cat rescue at once!). We are cat and dog people – let us help you keep your furry friends safe. There is nothing better than letting your pet safely enjoy the outdoors where they can run freely and play.
- Cover changes in grade/elevation. Our cat fencing overlaps onto the ground and is pinned to the ground (facing inside) with included ground stakes. This deters dogs and cats from digging up and out to escape.
- Has some flex – all our fences have a UV protected virgin poly cat fence layer which is flexible and doesn’t have memory. Dogs and cats can run and bounce off the fence safely without damaging the fence or hurting themselves. Has multiple layers – configure your no climb fence with up to three different layers of different fencing types, each with their own purpose.
- No concrete, no digging. Our patent pending ground sleeves with set screw anchor fence posts in the ground securely without the use of concrete or digging any holes. This easy to install system can be installed with basic hand tools and in most cases, homeowners install it themselves. Professional installation service is also available. We started in this industry as specialized installers of this type of pet containment fence and some of those same folks are installing today.
- The best part – it’s nearly invisible from a distance – to disappear with your landscape. The perfect outdoor cat fence is one you can’t see!
Cat Fence Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Pet Playgrounds fence?
Creating a secure outdoor space can help your cat expel all that excess energy, leading to a calmer demeanor indoors and bringing you peace of mind.
Pet Playgrounds is a real physical cat fence kit. It is NOT an electric fence. It comes with all of the components you will need to create a safe and secure play space for your dog. Unlike invisible electric fences that only attempt to keep your dog in your yard, our physical cat fence stops predators — like coyotes — from entering your enclosure. Our product has two main features that separate it from all other fencing systems.
Anti-Climb Feature: Unlike traditional rigid fences, our fence is a mesh-based fencing system that moves. Cats can't use our fence like a ladder to climb over. When a cat tries to climb over, it simply flexes so no cat can get a grip.
Anti-Dig Feature: Even if you have a physical fence, cats can dig under your fence to escape. We have eliminated this possibility by creating a dig guard — a strong steel mesh layer that is secured into the ground using our ultra-hold ground stakes.
Providing your cat with a secure outdoor space not only enhances their physical health but also improves their mental well-being. A properly contained yard allows your cat to explore and play safely, reducing anxiety and destructive behaviors.
New Bitter Pro Infused Anti-Chew
Our poly mesh is infused with a bitter anti-chew formula on all sides.
Long lasting effectiveness due to controlled release of active ingredients (approximately 10–15 years)
Effective at low addition levels (3–4% of master batch or 0.3–0.4% of active additive)
Easy dispersion without affecting poly properties
Human safe, ecologically safe, and RoHS compliant
Even if a cat bites the poly once, they get dissuaded from biting again due to the highly bitter taste. Cats know that spicy and bitter are not tasty flavors — they are associated with unsafe foods in the wild, and as a result, cats instinctively avoid bitter things.
What are common methods cats use to escape from yards?
Understanding how cats typically escape can help you choose a more effective containment strategy. Here are the most common methods:
Climbing: Cats are good climbers, especially on chain link fences where evenly spaced slots act like ladder rungs.
Squeezing through gaps: Cats can wiggle through wide picket spacing or gaps in fencing.
Jumping: Some cats have an impressive vertical leap that clears fences that seem tall enough.
Opening gates: Cats can learn to manipulate simple gate latches, providing an easy route for escape.
By identifying how your cat is escaping, you can better tailor your fencing solution to address that specific behavior.
How does this stop my cat from climbing?
Traditional fences (like chain link) act like ladders and actually help cats climb over. Our fence eliminates that possibility. The strength prevents chewing through, and the flexibility stops climbing — when a cat pushes against it, the fence simply moves, so they can't get a grip.
Addressing fence-patrolling behavior: Cats that pace up and down fences are often looking for other cats or people nearby. To reduce this, opt for a tall fence your cat can't see over while on their hind legs, and ensure it's a solid mesh rather than widely-spaced posts. This significantly reduces distractions and helps manage the behavior.
How will this stop my cat from digging?
Unlike traditional fences, our fence does not end when it meets the ground — it keeps going for about a foot. Our fence comes with a dig guard made from a strong 19-gauge steel mesh layer that is secured to the ground with ultra-hold ground stakes. Take a look at this video to learn more — words can't accurately describe how it works.
How can I determine why my cat is escaping?
Understanding why your cat is trying to escape is crucial before investing in a fence. By observing their behavior closely during escape attempts, you can pinpoint the underlying cause.
Loneliness: Cats left alone outdoors for extended periods may escape to find companionship. Ensure they get enough indoor time and interaction.
Boredom: High-energy cats need more exercise and stimulation. A lack of physical activity leads them to seek ways out of the yard.
Environmental attraction: If your cat smells or sees another animal or something intriguing outside, their natural curiosity may compel them to explore.
Inadequate enclosure: A determined cat may not be stopped by an invisible fence. Physical barriers need to be tall and secure enough to prevent escapes.
By taking the time to understand your cat's specific needs and behaviors, you can choose the most effective way to keep them safe and contained.
Does the dig guard make it difficult to mow my lawn?
Not at all! In just a short time the dig guard will almost disappear into the grass and become one with the soil. This zen-like effect will allow you to mow right over the top of it and right up next to the fence. Watch this video to learn more.
