Many consider their furry friends to be an official part of the family, so what better way to show your pup your appreciation than to build a metal fence kennel for them? Metal fence kennels provide a safe place for dogs to play outside without having to worry about them running off after the nearest squirrel. These kennels are a perfect addition to properties with large, sprawling backyards with no surrounding perimeter fence. Here are the pros of installing a custom metal fence kennel for your beloved pooch.
Dogs Love Being Outside
Dogs are domesticated from wolves, which are naturally wild animals. Therefore, it is not healthy for a dog to be inside for long hours. Dogs love being exposed to the different smells, sights, and sounds outside. A dog owner may feel a bit anxious about letting their dog out for too long if they have a habit of sprinting off somewhere. Strong metal fence kennels allow for adequate space for a dog to expend its energy without worrying about it running off to who knows where.
A Metal Fence is Virtually Dig-Proof
Some breeds of dogs are known to be diggers. Dogs have a very sharp sense of smell that is incredibly powerful. If a dog smells something interesting, they will try their best to go and find it. Sometimes that means that they will attempt to dig out of an enclosure and go underneath the fence to achieve their goal. This is not so great for the dog’s owners who know the dangers of the outside world. A reliable fence contractor can build metal fence kennels at least a foot deep into the ground. This will make it extremely hard for the potential escape artists to dig out from below the fence. Eventually, with enough failed attempts, dogs will become deterred from digging any longer to the relief of their owners.
Keep them as Comfortable as Possible
Leaving a dog outside in the rain or snow is not ideal, but sometimes it is necessary. Many kennels can be equipped with a weatherproof roof or tarp to ensure your rascal doesn’t become a smelly wet mess after the rain. A roof or tarp can also prevent the dog from standing on cold snow for too long instead of allowing them a more comfortable outdoor experience during the winter months. Try a chain link roof to accompany your metal fence, or maybe hardscape a bit to give them a more comfortable ground to walk on.
