NO-DIG SLEEVES

You will receive a NO-DIG sleeve for every fence post allowing you to “Say Goodbye!” to post hole diggers or shovels! Our NO-DIG sleeve system is what makes it possible to install your Dog Fence without digging or using cement.

To use, simply place the driving cap on top of the sleeve and pound it into the ground with a sledgehammer. The fence posts will easily slide right into the NO-DIG sleeves so you never have to dig a hole. Traditional fences require a post every 8 feet, our system only requires a post every 20-25 feet which makes installation a breeze.

POLYPROPYLENE MESH

Our 1,100 pound break strength Polypropylene Mesh has been upgraded to a smaller one inch opening that makes it both incredibly strong and remarkably flexible. The small openings 1″ square adds chew protection in addition to the meal layers, the flexibility stops your dog from climbing over. Traditional fences (like chain link fences) act like ladders – and actually help dogs climb over. Our Dog Fence make this almost impossible in or out

What are you looking at? This clip shows how our fence moves when dogs (or predators) try to climb it.

Traditional fences act like ladders – and actually help dogs climb over. Our Dog Fence eliminates that possibility.

What if you try to install a no-dig sleeve and hit a large rock? No problem! Just move to another location that is 2-4 feet in another direction and try again. It’s that simple.

We just upgraded our polypropelene mesh, it’s EVEN stronger. This new material is currently shipping for all 5, 6 and 7 foot tall dog fences.

RUBBER COATED STEEL WIRE

Our Rubber Coated Welded Steel Wire Mesh is the main component of the 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.

Why is strength so important?

Dogs have powerful jaws, but they don’t just bite. They pull, twist, shake, and use their body weight as leverage. Dog bites can measure upwards of 800psi alone. Now add in the additional force of their body weight plus any movement and the pressure they exert can approach 2000psi. Our fences can withstand 2,900psi, which is perfect for most dogs.

My dog can get through anything!

You know your dog better than we do. If your four legged friend is so relentless that it will spend hours on end chewing, ripping, pulling and tearing anything that stands in its way, then our MAX Strength fences will provide you with the peace of mind you need to be confident that your dogs can’t get loose. Our MAX Strength kit adds a 3rd layer steel mesh making it even more difficult to chew and get through. Our MAX fences are able to withstand up to 4,000psi. and have proven to be over 99% effective with thousands of fences in the United States and canada for 10 years and counting....

Is this better than chain link?

Absolutely. Chain link fences are simple to climb easy to Climb and Dig under. They are not layered, so the weakest point are the C clips that hold the chain link to the rails these fail often when pushed, and uneven ground is almost impossible to secure with any other REAL fence...

MAX STRENGTH LAYER

(ONLY COMES WITH MAX STRENGTH FENCES)

Our standard Dog Fence Kit has been engineered to withstand up to 2,900 pounds of pressure, which is perfect for most dogs. However there are some breeds (and some individual canine personalities) that seem to chew and destroy just about everything. For these dogs we added a third layer of protection: our 19 gauge, steel, vinyl coated, welded wire mesh with a small 1/2 inch opening. This is used in combination with our two standard fencing materials, enabling the fence to withstand up to 4,000psi of pressure – Also 1/2 ” openings that are layered with 2 other one inch meshes, making it almost impossible for dogs to get there teeth into, the holes don’t line up and openings get even smaller with the layers….

Our standard dog fence can withstand up to 2,900lbs of pressure per square inch (PSI). Most chain link fences can only withstand 1,000 PSI, wood fences can withstand between 550 – 700 PSI and vinyl fences withstand even less! We’ve seen falling trees that couldn’t even break our fence. It’s THAT strong – but, if you have a relentless canine that will spend hours chewing, ripping, pulling and tearing at anything, our MAX STRENGTH fence is exactly what you need. We added a 19 gauge steel vinyl coated netting material to our existing layers of fencing to provide the ultimate in containment.

Our MAX Strength Dog Fences come in 6 foot and 7 foot options.

DRIVING CAP

A driving cap is a simple tool that is placed on top of your no-dig sleeve so you can use a sledgehammer to pound it in the ground.

STEEL TENSION CABLE SIMILAR TO MODERN RAILINGS

Our 12 gauge vinyl coated, braided steel tension cable has a been tested to withstand 1,200 PSI of pressure. When it comes time to install the tension cable, simply feed it through threaded eye loop of every post collar, its the easiest part of install and makes the fence really hard to see… typical Rails block your vision most and limit section size…

All our kits include unique steel rail cables – 2 for a 2 layer kits and 3 for Max strength 6ft tall and coming 2024 4 cables rails for 7ft max

Cabled rails makes our fence almost impossible to climb in or out, simple to install on hills or uneven ground , Low visibility similar to modern railings and resilient to tree branches – sever weather of any kind…

ROUND POST COLLARS

This feature is exclusive to Pet Playgrounds. With our design you simply slide the post collar on each post and tighten it by hand then easily slide the braided steel cable right through each pre-installed threaded eye loop to create sections of cable in a rectangle, every three posts, video describes it best

FENCE POSTS

Our black powder coated galvanized steel fence posts measure 1 5/8” in diameter. They are built to last in the harshest weather – from Arizona to Canada. Each post is a foot taller than your finished height so they can be inserted in each NO-DIG sleeve.

If you are NOT using your house to complete one side of your enclosure or if you have more than four 90° angles, you’ll need to order extra post corner kits. This is not common, and most consumers can skip this step in the kit selection process.

If you are ordering this fence for a commercial application, then you need to add 2 extra post corner kits to your order at checkout.

CORNER POST KITS

Every Dog Fence Kit will come with (2) two Corner Post Brace Kits, (1) one Start Post Brace Kit and (1) one Stop Post Brace Kit. This is perfect for 95% of installs – you can always add extra corners at checkout or anytime in the future..

ULTRA-HOLD GROUND STAKES

These 12″ ground stakes secure the dig guard to the ground and prevent dogs from digging under the fence. The unique zig zag shape provides for a firm hold in the soil, and the ¼” thick galvanized steel means the stakes are strong and resistant to rust.

GRIPPLES (CAM LOCKS)

We’ve partnered with Gripple to provide you with the easiest way to attach and tighten our cabling system. Making the cable tight isn’t normally easy and requires a lot of physical strength or a special tool. These Cam Locks contain small ceramic rollers that make the job simple. Just another thing we’ve learned over the past 10 years while providing reliable and affordable dog fencing systems.

HOG RINGER WITH D-RINGS

We include a Hog Ringer (also known as a Hog Ring Plier) in every kit. It is lightweight and has rubber grips to allow you to easily fasten the small D-Rings with one hand. This secures the fencing material to the tension cable. You will receive the appropriate amount of D-rings for the length of kit that you order.

THREADED EYE LOOPS

If you want to use trees, sheds, or other structures as replacements for fence posts, these threaded eye loops (also known as eye lags) can be quickly and easily installed saving you time and money. You will receive the appropriate number of threaded eye loops for the length that you order.

NAILS & MAGNETIC LEVEL

We include rust resistant Nails and a Magnetic Level in every kit. Just like hanging a picture on a wall, these tools will help you will plumb and level your posts.

DOG FENCE GATES (Optional)

Our gates come in 3 different widths: 5 foot (standard), 8 foot (wide), and 14 foot (driveway). A 5 foot wide gate is enough for most commercial lawn mowers.
