Make It HARDER For Your Dog To Dig Under Your Fence

[@DirtyMex3]

Thank you for this!!! My dog has been getting out and you made this easy

[@SWiFence]

You are so welcome!

[@cliffvictoria3863]

Thanks for the video. My fence company did not put bottom rails on. My German Shepherd figured out how to get under the fence in a couple days. Looks like I need to get the fence company back out or install the rails myself.

[@lorialamo9482]

Thank you, thank you, and thank you. I have been searching for a way to fix a section of the bottom of the fence. It took me a long time to find your video.

[@SWiFence]

Excellent! You're welcome!

[@fryefencecurbscapingllc9817]

I catch myself watching you do things I already know how to. Keep it up

[@SWiFence]

That's super encouraging. Thanks!

[@wesir427]

This seems like it would have a secondary benefit of giving you something solid to weed eat against that doesn't eat a massive amount of line

[@gwrace]

I use herbicide twice a year on all my fence lines. No trimming required.

[@RandallFencer]

I pretty much automatically quote bottom rails on all school jobs around playgrounds and sports fields, the fabric holds up better to the abuse. I also put a rail at grade when building wood post, rail and wire fence for dog and kid containment when the ag/horse fence look is desired by the customer. That way I can hold the field fence or non-climb up a couple of inches, makes the weed-eating a lot more effective and less aggravating. Dan, your daughter looked so interested! Try having her hand you things like ties, staples, whatever in a certain orientation or quantity, worked for me, until they found out boys don't have cooties. Cheers!

[@anonz975]

Great video. FYI dogs are "loved ones". :)

[@AmberRicherzhagen]

Do you have a suggestion on how to keep my neighbors dogs from digging under the fence and coming in my yard?

[@AncientAir]

Very clean and clear! Any options for the a bottom rail on 5x5 vinyl posts with ranch style triple horizontal rails and no current bottom tension wire?

[@jille6767]

You mentioned this works over cement pads. What about grass lawns?

[@Mari-vq6zg]

Well explained, you make it look so easy.

[@SWiFence]

It is! You've got this. 👍🏻

[@zyirhughes1051]

Thanks so much

[@SWiFence]

No problem

[@duaneulman9915]

Thank you

[@katehogan1134]

john , what component do i use at corners that doesn't make 1 rail higher off the ground ( because of stacking). I don't see any corner mounts anywhere

[@SWiFence]

Same component, just flip it over. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paDUkmmXl8aneK8

[@sandymorrison1400]

We dug 1' down, then buried predator fencing 2' inside and 1' outside the fence. Lots of work, but it kept the predators out and the animals inside.

[@LSXPerformance]

Awesome, thank you

[@SWiFence]

You bet!

[@silverdragontaylir8252]

Genius

[@mikemain8365]

Nice video. It helped me out

[@SWiFence]

Awesome. 👍🏻

[@lesliejoable]

Looks like you are keeping your daughter out 🤣 especially when you say ‘ keep your loved ones in’ haha

[@SWiFence]

🤣

[@BrittanyCoyne]

Hi, how do you handle fences that have corners that aren't a perfect 90 degree angle?

[@reneesaull503]

what size are the easy twist ties please?

[@SWiFence]

You can see sizes and gauge choices here: www.swifence.com/round-easy-twist-ties.html?id=96027021

[@danbaranek9426]

What about using the line rail clamps on line posts that are on a hill?

[@SWiFence]

On a hill you have to resort to using brace bands with rail ends. 👍🏻

[@bburnsga]

What if they dig underneath that bottom rail? With the dog next door, it's not a matter of the fence, but the deep hole he digs.

[@SWiFence]

Then you're in the market for a concrete mow curb underneath your fence.

[@ramiroesparza5467]

You can use pliers for the tie

[@Southernpinesranch]

So if you had say four sections of fence, would you still only us two rail ends and a clamp on the middle two poles?

[@SWiFence]

Yes. I would run several hundred feet before I needed to use another terminal post with additional rail ends. 👍🏻

[@Southernpinesranch]

@@SWiFence thank you!!

[@lecd4classroom631]

Would this help to keep the fence in tact when a snow plow is pushing snow up against it?

[@SWiFence]

It would make the bottom more rigid for sure, however it might be best to not plow snow into the fence. 😀🙂 (Giving you a hard time--I realize you may not be the one doing the plowing.)

[@demetrimeko]

Hi how are you I have a question I half to hang a Chain link gate in a walkway how much do I charge?$

[@blakewilliams6613]

as for a donation and leave it at that.

[@lemayrenee]

Useless if there is NOT an existing brace band at the bottom! How do you get a new brace hand on at the bottom?

[@SWiFence]

Not trying to sound silly but you buy one and install it. Super simple. Just match it to your pipe size. You can pick these up anywhere.

[@londonsanimalsandmore956]

Is bottom rail same diameter as top?

[@SWiFence]

Yes.

[@ShaunStyles-e6s]

This will not work

[@SWiFence]

If this isn't enough deterrent for your dog then you're probably wanting to look at pouring a cement barrier.

[@Teamfencingsolution]

Nice sir

[@jaco7288]

LOL not my border collie T___T he's too smart for his own good

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Dan, that works rather danged well on that chain link fence. If I was a dog eating cat… I’d shun digging under it fer sure! Iffen I had chain link within which to contain one, that is. However, I don’t. All I have is 5 strand Bob-War on hedge posts. I was wondering, could that contraption be adapted to keep the canine devouring feline from digging under MY fence? If so, it would be a good danged idea!

[@SWiFence]

Absolutely! You just need to stack about 30 of them on top of each other and then wedge them between the hedge posts. Should do the trick. 😂

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

@@SWiFence I shoulda knowed you’d have a way! Thank ya.

[@rogerbettencourt9654]

My vicious man eating cat is a loved one.

[@SWiFence]

Why am I not surprised? 🤣

[@katehogan1134]

ok, I used your method! 220 ft of fence and the dog is safe and sound - no more getting out!!!! Wahahahahahah

[@felipelemus7946]

My dog still tore the fence from the chain link he will pull on it with his teeh until he breaks it

[@SWiFence]

Doesn't sound like your fence was put together extremely well. A heavy-gauge easy twist tie every few links will absolutely keep that from happening. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWKsYa2Edt2Dh7s

[@miragecarlos]

I am sorry but my dog make a whole under that bar and scape.

[@SWiFence]

Sounds like you need a buried concrete curb.

[@sunshine4evr517]

They just dig more

[@SWiFence]

In that case time to look at a concrete barrier poured below ground.

[@gtdodgeviper]

I think its cheaper and easier to just get rid of the dog.

[@SWiFence]

It's always cheaper and easier to just get rid of the dog. 😆

[@leeanncoxey7498]

Dog proof = hotwire. Bc that doesn't do it...

[@dinkofranic4875]

Nice... but will work only for some big dogs. For small dogs, foxies and similar creatures will not work. They will dig under sorry..

[@SWiFence]

You're absolutely right--it won't work for all dogs, but it sure makes it harder for them. Perhaps I should revise the title for all you keeping me honest out there! 😁
