How we build dog-proof fencing in Edgware
1.8m closeboard, no gaps under 40mm, 150mm concrete kicker or 300mm buried mesh apron, closing gate with drop-bolt into a socket. On Edgware jobs we adjust for side-return access on edgware semis is genuinely narrow — long panels often have to come up over the garage.
Property mix locally: 1930s semis built around the Tube extension, plus newer flats near the town centre. Typical gardens: rectangular suburban gardens, mostly flat, often with mature fruit trees. Postcodes we regularly service: HA8.
Why this spec, for dog owners
- no gaps at ground level — the single most common escape point on standard fencing
- hinges and drop-bolts sized so a dog leaning on the gate can't work it open
- buried mesh apron stops digging without spoiling the finished look above ground
Where dog-proof fencing isn't the right answer
- — very small terrier breeds that can squeeze under 40mm — full mesh apron is the right answer
- — conservation frontages where a mesh apron is not permitted; a brick kicker course is the alternative
Typical dog-proof fencing briefs in Edgware
- → 1.8m solid boundary with anti-climb top so a larger breed can't jump or scramble
- → gap-free gate lines with a drop bolt and a low kicker plate to stop nose-under escapes
