Pet Playgrounds is a real physical dog 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 dog fence stops predators – like coyotes from entering your enclosure. Our product as 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. That means dogs can’t use our fence like a ladder to climb over the way regular fencing system allow dogs to escape. When a dog tries to climb over, it simply flexes so no dog can get a grip.
Anti-Dig Feature: Even if you have a physical fence, dogs can dig under your fence to escape. We have eliminated this possibility by creating a dig guard that prevents dogs from digging under your fence. It is a strong steel mesh layer that is secured into the ground using our ultra-hold ground stakes.
New ! bitter infused anti chew poly mesh
- Dissuades chewing poly on all sides with very bitter taste
- Long lasting effectiveness due to controlled release of active ingredients, hence ilife of finished product (approximately 10-15 years)
- Effective at low addition levels (3-4% of master batch or 0.3-0.4% of active additive
- Easy dispersion due to high surface area without affecting poly properties
- Human safe, Ecologically safe
- RoHS compliant
Even if they bite the poly once, they get dissuaded from biting it again due to highly bitter taste.
Dogs Know that spicy and bitter are not tasty flavors. They are associated with unsafe foods in the wild—such as a bad piece of fruit or a in edible plant—and as a result, dogs know to avoid bitter things
Traditional fences (like chain link fences) act like ladders – and actually help dogs climb over. Our Dog Fence eliminates that possibility. The strength prevents your best friend from chewing through and the flexibility stops your dog from climbing over.
Many types of breeds love digging, especially terriers, beagles and huskies. Unlike traditional fences, our fence does not end when it meets the ground, it keeps on going…for about a foot. Our fence comes with a dig guard, which is created by using a strong 19 gauge steel mesh layer that is secured to the ground with ultra-hold ground stakes. Take a look at the video below because words can not accurately describe how our dig guard works.
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.
We have designed our fence to be as unobtrusive as possible. Just like a window screen, when you step back 10-15 feet you can barely even see our fence. If you have lots of trees in your backyard, you can make our fence even more invisible by using your existing trees as post replacements. Check out the fence below. Can you even see it? View more pictures and videos here.
We offer 4 types of fences:
- 5 foot tall dog fence
- 6 foot tall dog fence
- 6 foot tall MAX Strength dog fence
- 7 foot tall MAX Strength dog fence
Didn’t you used to offer a 4 foot tall fence before?
Yes. However, we have decided to discontinue that height as it did not meet our 98% effective target as our other heights have either met or beat.
Not at all!
When you order a 6 foot fence (for example), the finished height of your fence will be 6 feet tall. The dig guard is an addition to the height of your fence.
You can add gates to your Kit when you place your order. We offer 5 foot wide gates (which is perfect for most commercial lawn mowers), 8 foot wide gates and 14 foot driveway gates. In some cases you may decide to use your garage as part of your enclosure and may not need a gate, so we give you the flexibility to decide whether you want a gate and how many you want.
Our 1,100 pound break strength Polypropylene Mesh uses a patented process that makes it both incredibly strong and remarkably flexible. The strength prevents your best friend from chewing through and the flexibility stops your dog from climbing over. Learn more about the components we use.
Our Rubber Coated Welded Steel Wire Mesh is the main component of our dig guard. At 1,800 PSI of break strength, it’s nearly impossible for animals to bite, rip, or tear through. It is easily secured in place by using our ultra-hold ground stakes. Learn more about the components we use.
How does this compare to chain link? Will this hold up to my dog?
Chain link fences can only withstand about 1,500psi. That’s about half as strong as our Pet Playgrounds fence. Wood fences are even weaker – they can only withstand about 700psi.
More importantly, our fence isn’t just strong – it’s flexible which makes it so incredibly unique.

Shouldn’t an installer look at my yard before installation?
Our fence has been designed to be installed on virtually any type of property. It does not matter whether you have a rocky yard, a steep hill or another challenging obstacle. This means that installers do not have to come to your house prior to the day of the install. This saves time and money for our installers as well as yourself.
Yes. We have installers in many States, and Virtual install assistance in All States,. Typically installations can be completed within 14-30 days of your order. To find out how long installation will take for your State please call us 800 985 9202

The fence comes in one color: black. We have found that the color black works the best to blend in with your natural surroundings. Take a look at the fence below. Can you even see it?
Our fence works great for commercial applications like community dog parks and pet hotels. Our fence is incredibly popular for community dog parks because thousands of dollars can be saved by having volunteers assemble our easy to install DIY Kit. We recommend a 5 foot tall kit with a minimum of 300 linear feet for a dog park with 4 gates. This will allow you to create 2 separate play spaces (one for large dogs, one for small dogs) with a security gate system so dogs can’t run out when a new dog is entering the dog park.
Since commercial applications do not typically use a building to complete one side of your fence, you will need to add the free standing enclosure option, during the checkout process which will provide you with all of the components you will need to assemble your dog park.
You can purchase your commercial dog park and all the necessary components right here or learn more about how our fence can be used for commercial applications. Still have questions? Schedule a phone call with a Dog Fence Expert or give us a call right now at 1-800-985-9202.

Can I get a refund if my dog escapes?
There are so many variables that it would be impossible to effectively offer a warranty or a guarantee that your dog won’t escape. For example, if someone left the gate open by accident your dog would be able to escape. If you have a hurricane and a tree falls on your fence, your fence might be temporarily damaged and your dog could escape. In Canada, our customers have seen bears test the fence and although our fence is incredibly strong and flexible it was not designed to withstand a family of hungry bears looking for food. For these reasons and more we don’t offer a warranty or a guarantee but we will work with you fix any issues that you may have and repairs are rare, simple and not expensive
What you will get is the most reliable and affordable REAL dog fencing system in the world. We suggest ordering either a 6 foot tall MAX or a 7 foot MAX dog fence if your dog is a Houdini escape artist that is a jumper and a chewer. You never know what a dog can do our 12 years of engineering the Max strength has made it over 99% effective for thousands of fences. You don’t want to make the cure worse than the disease,… we could make the fences 8 feet tall with 4 layers and arms facing in to create an over hang, where do you draw the line with cost and effectiveness. We have found in many cases larger areas get less serious challenges because often dogs accept the space as a territory to protect. Please call us if you unsure which fence to choose and also keep in mind our weakest 2 layer can be added to and tuned into our strongest three layer easily at any time...

Invisible wireless dog fences just don’t work. Studies show that they fail nearly 30% of the time. Nearly a quarter of our customers are dog parents that initially tried to use an invisible electric fence – only to find out that it didn’t work for their dog.
At low levels the shock is too weak to stop your dog from leaving your yard to investigate nearby wildlife or another dog, and at high levels the dog may become scared or aggressive. Learn more about the dangers of invisible wireless fences and shock collars.

Yes. Typically, coyotes enter fenced in yards by climbing over traditional chain link and wooden fences. Our fence prevents dogs, coyotes and other predators from climbing over your fence and entering your Pet Playgrounds Play Space because our fence physically move.
Other fences act like ladders that actually help coyotes climb over your fence, however our fence is flexible so coyotes can not get a grip to climb over. Watch our short video to learn how our fence can protect your dogs from wild coyotes.

Awesome! We love customers that want to expand their fence or protect other areas. If you don’t need an entire kit but instead need certain components you can purchase them separately at petplaygroundsmore.com. Please note that these accessories were designed for existing Pet Playgrounds customers. Many parts require items that are included in our dog fence kits.
Our 5 and 6 foot dog fences require a post every 20 feet, and our 6 foot MAX and 7 foot MAX fences require a post every 15 feet. This is VERY different from traditional fencing systems that require a post every 8 feet.
Your Kit comes with one Start post, one Stop (or end) post and two corner posts. If you use one side of your house to complete the fence (so essentially you are purchasing 3 sides for your fence – not 4), you will not have order anything extra. This is common and is default selection is perfect for 95% of customers. If you are creating an advanced layout (for example, a free standing enclosure) then you will need order 2 extra corner posts.

Nope. Our standard 5 and 6 foot fences come with 2 layers, and our 6 and 7 foot MAX Strength fences come with 3 layers. The first layer that you will install is a metal mesh layer that functions as both the dig guard and the chew guard. It is 4 foot tall, even when you purchase a 5 or 6 foot tall fence. The reason for this is that the second layer, which is the polypropylene mesh is installed right on top of this layer, and needs to be at the top of the fence by itself to allow the fence to physically move. This is what makes our fence so difficult to climb.
Watch our installation video to see how our fence is installed.
