Fence: What if the Dog Digs Under?

Hello everyone, I'm Marco from Fenceshop, the e-commerce specialized in fences and meshes. Today we are addressing a common problem for those who have a dog: what to do if your dog digs under the fence? We will see how to solve this problem whether you are planning a new fence or if you have an existing fence and your dog keeps digging. Let's get started!

Why does the dog dig under the fence?

The main reasons why a dog digs under the fence are three:

Some dogs have a natural tendency to dig.
Using inappropriate materials for the fence.
The fence was not designed to contain dogs.

Solutions for those who need to build a new fence

If you need to build a new fence, you have several options to prevent the digging problem:

Bury an L-shaped mesh: Dig a 30-40 cm trench and bury an L-shaped mesh attached to the existing fence. This solution is very effective, although a bit expensive.
Traditional burial: Bury the fence 20-30 cm deep. This method is simpler and less expensive, but still effective.
Lawn saving mesh: Use a plastic or metal lawn-saving mesh fixed to the ground with stakes. This solution prevents digging without having to bury the fence.

Solutions for those who already have a fence

If you already have a fence and your dog keeps digging, you can adopt several solutions:

Using stakes: Insert stakes between the posts of the fence to keep the mesh steady. This method is simple and economical.
Reinforcing the fence: Add additional layers of mesh to strengthen the existing structure. Make sure to do it neatly to avoid a messy appearance.
Trench and cement: Dig a small trench along the fence and fill it with cement. You can also insert eye bolts into the cement to further secure the mesh.
Lawn saving mesh: Even if you already have a fence, you can add a lawn-saving mesh to prevent further digging.

Conclusions and final tips

A final tip: if you haven't already, consider adopting a dog from the shelter. There are many dogs waiting for a loving home. And now, our video ends here.
