Galfan Coated Dog Panels
3mm+ dog panels are strong enough to keep all dog breeds in or out of an area.
The panels meet all criteria for commercial dog fencing except the mesh hole size of 75mm x 75mm allows the legs of smaller dogs to poke through.

Stop Dogs Climbing: Select Hole Size
If you are unsure of your dog’s ability to climb we suggest going for a mesh hole size of 25mm x 25mm or less. This will ensure that your dog’s paws do not fit into the holes so they can lift themselves up and over the mesh.

To Do | Explanation |
Step 1 – Mark the Location |
Create a straight line to outline the fence between the two end posts. |
Step 2 – Measure Post Distance |
Use your panels to measure the post distance. |
Step 3 – Install 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 |
Attach a string across the end posts, and check the height of their installation using a tape measure. |
Step 5 – Check for Straightness |
Ensure that the posts have been installed completely straight by using a spirit level. |
Step 6 (Optional) – Set in 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 |
Follow steps 3 through 5 to install the middle posts.
|
Step 8 – Attach Panel to Posts |
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 |
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 |
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.
