Get matched with top animal fencing pros in Lykens, PA

The best under-gate dog barrier is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.

Costs depend on fence height, labor, gate additions, and any coatings or security features added.

In most cases, a fence can only be built on your property with your consent. Not obtaining permission constitutes an encroachment and a violation of your property rights. However, exceptions may apply, such as when the fence is entirely within the property boundaries of the person putting it up and the fence complies with local zoning laws and regulations. If you think a fence infringes on your property or is not up to local standards, consult with local authorities or legal experts to address the issue and protect your property rights.

It depends on the side of the property the fence falls on when determining if you or your neighbor share the responsibility for the fence repair. However, many fences run along the property line, which means you and your neighbor share the fence, and you’re both responsible for repairs and can likely split the costs.
