Dog kennel fencingTwo of the best types of dog kennel fencing are the 100% steel uni-body chain link wire mesh perimeter system and the 8 gauge heavy duty steel 2" x 4" welded wire system. Both types of perimeter systems should only be attached to steel frames and it is best if they are attached with the direct drill and weld method as this helps to greatly reduce the occurrence of pointed and jagged edges that could cause serious injury to your dog and even tetanus if they were to become rusty. Rust is always a big concern when it comes to dog kennel fencing and careful research should be done before purchasing any type of dog kennel to make certain that it has been rust proofed. One good type of rust proofing is called After Galv and if this is done to the completed panel after the wire mesh has been welded to the steel frame it is a solid and quality way to keep the dog kennel free of rust for a long time. When cleaning the dog kennel fencing is it good to be careful not to use any cleaning substance that might have an adverse reaction with the galvanization process that the dog kennel fencing was subjected to.If you have a small dog it is better to use the chain link wire mesh fencing but if your dog is larger and there is no danger of it putting its head through the 2" x 4" welded wire mesh then that is just as good if not slightly easier to keep clean. Whatever type of fencing you get it is never advisable to buy a dog kennel in which the wire mesh extends past the frame as any protruding metal is dangerous for your dog. |
