How we build dog-proof fencing in Waltham Cross
1.8m closeboard, no gaps under 40mm, 150mm concrete kicker or 300mm buried mesh apron, closing gate with drop-bolt into a socket. On Waltham Cross jobs we adjust for shared boundaries plus a high turnover of rental properties means landlord-friendly specs matter.
Property mix locally: Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre, with newer estates toward Theobalds. Typical gardens: small to medium gardens; many older properties share boundary fences with both neighbours. Postcodes we regularly service: EN8.
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
Typical dog-proof fencing briefs in Waltham Cross
- → gap-free gate lines with a drop bolt and a low kicker plate to stop nose-under escapes
- → closeboard set into a shallow concrete kicker so a small breed can't dig underneath
