Professional Dog Fence Installation in Edmonton
Not all fences are built for pets. We build dog-safe fencing systems designed to prevent escape, withstand impact, and remain stable through freeze-thaw cycles.
Many backyard fences fail because:
• Posts are too shallow
• Gaps exist at ground level
• Boards are spaced too wide
• Gates sag over time
• Hardware is not reinforced
Custom Backyard Dog Runs Built for Safety
A dog run creates a defined, secure space where your pet can move freely without full yard access. Each dog run is built to match your yard layout and your dog’s size and behavior.
We Build:
• Side-yard dog runs
• Dedicated backyard dog enclosures
• Compact urban dog runs
• Large-breed reinforced runs
• Gravel-based or turf-based runs
• Covered or partially shaded structures
Dog Runs are ideal for:
• High-energy breeds
• Homes with small yards
• Families with children
• Preventing lawn damage
• Controlled outdoor time
Dig-Proof and Jump-Resistant Fence Options
Escape behavior is common. Containment is planned, not improvised.
We design containment systems based on:
• Dog size and weight
• Jumping ability
• Digging tendencies
• Yard slope
• Fence height regulations
Solutions include:
• Reduced ground clearance
• Reinforced bottom rails
• Buried deterrent barriers
• Taller 6-foot and 7-foot fencing
• Tight board spacing
• Heavy-duty gate latches
Built for Alberta Weather Conditions
Edmonton winters shift soil. If posts are not installed below frost depth, gaps form. Your dog fence should not lean after two winters. We build for long-term durability in Edmonton’s climate.
We Install:
• Concrete-set posts
• Proper drainage base
• Exterior-rated fasteners
• Stable framing systems
