Q: How high should a dog fence be?

• <div><p>Generally, the height of your dog fence should be 3 times the distance from the ground to your dog&rsquo;s shoulder. For most small breeds, a 4-foot high fence will be more than enough to keep them from jumping out. Medium-sized breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds will need at least a 5-6 foot fence to stay contained. Large breeds that are also excellent jumpers, such as Greyhounds, may need a 7-foot high fence. </p></div>

Q: What is the most common type of metal fence?

• <div><p>The most common type of metal fence today is one made of either steel or aluminum. These materials are relatively easy to fabricate, making them much more cost-effective than traditional metal fencing handmade from wrought iron. They&rsquo;re also much lighter and easier to install, contributing to their affordability and making them more DIY-friendly.</p></div>

Q: How high should fence pickets be off the ground?

• <div><p>Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.</p></div>

Q: Is metal fencing more expensive than other fencing materials?

• <div><p>Metal fencing is one of the most expensive options and is certainly more expensive than vinyl and oftentimes, wood. Specialized electric fences and, in certain cases, concrete can be more expensive than metal, but wrought iron is one of the most expensive fencing options, which is why you see it most often on expensive estates and in affluent zip codes. </p></div>
