Playground perimeter fences must withstand a lot of abuse from children climbing on them or throwing balls against them.

Unlike years ago when all chain link fences were a silver color, they are available with different color vinyl coatings that make them more weather resistant and help blend in with the area.

When looking for a dog fence perimeter, electronic fencing or hidden fencing keeps your dog on the property without using any type of visible fencing. A transmitter sends a signal to the buried wire around the designated property line or perimeter. When the dog gets too close to this electronic fence, his receiving collar gives an audible warning letting the dog know he is approaching the edge of the area. If the dog ignores this warning and continues to advance toward the invisible perimeter fence, his collar gives him a low voltage jolt. Described as feeling like a snapping rubber band or static electricity shock, the dog backs away from the hidden fence and remains on his property.

The cost of electronic perimeter fences for dogs is less than traditional fences and the homeowners can install it themselves or hire a professional. Invisible dog fencing allows your pet to frolic and get fresh air in a contained area. Never leave your dog alone outside for any length of time, as it does not keep other animals or people off the property. This type of fence allows your dog to be with the family when you are relaxing, barbequing, playing or gardening in the yard, without having to chain or pen your pet.
