Sheridan Fencing: Tailored Dog-Friendly Fencing Solutions in Kent

With 40 years of expertise serving Medway, Maidstone, Gravesend, and Sittingbourne, Sheridan Fencing continues to provide high-quality, bespoke fencing solutions. Our recent project in Lordswood exemplifies our commitment to addressing unique challenges, particularly when it comes to pet safety.

 Case Study: Lordswood Maisonette

A homeowner approached us with two primary concerns:

1. Preventing their dog from running onto the road from the upstairs entrance
2. Ensuring the dog remained within property boundaries when outside

Our Solution:
After careful consideration, we recommended a small close board fence complemented by a matching gate. This solution was chosen for its versatility and effectiveness in addressing the homeowner's specific needs.

 Key Features:

• Height: Carefully selected to effectively contain the dog

• Durability: Close board construction for longevity and weather resistance

• Security: Gate equipped with secure latches and hinges

• Visibility: Design allowed for clear sightlines, reducing potential hazards

• Usability: Despite its robust construction, the gate remained easy to operate

The outcome provided the homeowner with peace of mind, knowing their dog could safely enjoy the outdoor space without risk of accessing the road. Additionally, our design integrated seamlessly with the property's existing features, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Our Approach to Dog-Friendly Fencing: At Sheridan Fencing, we understand that each property and pet has unique requirements.

Our approach involves:

1. Thorough assessment of the property layout and specific pet-related concerns

1. Consideration of the dog's size, breed, and behaviour when designing the solution

1. Balancing security needs with aesthetic preferences

1. Using high-quality materials to ensure longevity and minimal maintenance

1. Ensuring all installations comply with local regulations and standards

We also pay special attention to potential weak points in pet fencing, such as:

• Minimising gaps under gates to prevent dogs from squeezing through

• Securing fence bottoms to discourage digging

• Choosing appropriate fence heights to deter jumping or climbing

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What height fence do you recommend for dogs?

A: The ideal height depends on your dog's size and jumping ability. We typically recommend 6ft fences for larger breeds or skilled jumpers, but can advise based on your specific situation.

 Q: How do you prevent dogs from digging under fences?

A: We can install gravel boards or extend the fencing below ground level to discourage digging.

 Q: Can you create a fence that allows my dog to see through it?

A: Yes, we offer options like picket fencing that provide visibility while maintaining security.

Q: How do you ensure gates are secure enough for dogs?

A: We use robust latching mechanisms and can install gates as close to the ground as possible to prevent dogs from squeezing underneath.

 Q: Do you offer maintenance services for your fences?

A: Yes, we provide maintenance and repair services to ensure the longevity of your fencing.
