Installation Instructions

  • With Panels

  • For Small Dogs

  • For Large Dogs

  • For Field Fencing

To Do Explanation
Step 1 – Mark the Location

T post step 1 - mark area

Create a straight line to outline the fence between the two end posts.
Step 2 – Measure Post Distance

T post step 2 - panel

Use your panels to measure the post distance.
Step 3 – Install End Posts

T post step 3 - end posts

Use a post driver or mallet to sink the end posts 50cm into the ground.

 

 

Make sure the end posts are pointing in the same direction.

Step 4 – Check for Same Height

T post step 4 - same height

Attach a string across the end posts, and check the height of their installation using a tape measure.
Step 5 – Check for Straightness

T post step 5 - straightness

Ensure that the posts have been installed completely straight by using a spirit level.
Step 6 (Optional) – Set in Concrete

T post step 6 - concrete

For a sturdier and more reliable fence, enhance its stability by setting your posts in concrete.

 

 

This involves digging a 50cm hole and pouring cement to create a foundation for the posts.

Step 7 – Install Middle Posts

T post step 7 - middle posts

Follow steps 3 through 5 to install the middle posts.

 



Ensure that the posts are facing in the same direction and are being installed in a straight and uniform manner.

 



If you want to make your fence even more robust, consider using concrete to secure the middle posts.

Step 8 – Attach Panel to Posts

dog-fencing-panel-step-8

Start at the end post and secure the mesh to it by using cable ties. These ties can be threaded through the pre-drilled holes in the post.

 

 

You can add extra cable ties to encircle the entire post.

Alternative Option

dog-fencing-panel-alternative

Expand the gap between the posts by overlapping the panels and join them by fastening them together using cable ties.
Additional Step to Prevent Digging

dog-fencing-panel-prevent-digging

Dig a trench along your fence line and cover the trench’s bottom with a piece of chicken wire. Attach the wire to the panel by using cable ties.

 



Use pegs to secure the wire to the ground at every 60cm, then cover it by adding a layer of soil or mulch over it.

 

 

 

FAQ’s

What is the best option to stop my pup from escaping?

If you want to keep your pet happy and healthy a physical barrier is the best option.  Electric and invisible puppy fences will keep your pet from escaping but they can cause damage to the health of your pet.  This has been documented in the TV show ‘It’s me or the Dog‘ (based in the UK and US)

Please look after the health of your canine and stay away from electric shock options.

What is the most cost-effective option?

Electric / hidden options are usually the cheapest which is the reason why pet owners buy them but they do not realise the potential cost to their pet’s health.

At approximately the same cost as an electric dog fence, you can cover 100m area with the plastic field fence.  For most well-behaved canines, this will work perfectly but please read the description before purchasing to ensure its suitability to your hound.

How big should I make my pen/run?

The bigger the better as long as you have space in your yard.  Longer-shaped pens work best as it gives your hound more space to run up and down.  As general guidance we suggest the following dimensions;

  • 2m x 6m for long periods of time
  • 2m x 4m for short periods of time

The area should double in size if the pen is going to be shared
