Keep Pets Safe
Sunshine Coast Dog Proof Fencing
Dogs are clever — some jump, some dig, and some can squeeze through the tiniest gaps. That’s why having the right fence is so important for keeping them safe at home.
At Sweet’s Rural Fencing, we design and build dog proof fencing across the Sunshine Coast to stop escapes before they happen. We look at your dog’s size, behaviour, and energy levels to create a barrier they can’t outsmart. From dig-proof bases to tall, secure panels, our fences are customised to suit your property and your pet’s needs. We also make sure it’s built to last, so you can enjoy peace of mind for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fence is best for dogs?
It depends on your dog’s size and behaviour. For most breeds, mesh or chain link with small openings works well. Taller fences help prevent jumping, while buried barriers stop digging. The right combination ensures your dog is contained safely while still giving them visibility and space to enjoy.
How tall should a dog proof fence be?
Most medium to large dogs need a fence 1.2–1.5 metres high. For particularly athletic or determined jumpers, 1.8 metres is better. Height should be paired with secure gates and sturdy construction. The aim is to stop escapes while keeping the fence functional, durable, and suited to your property’s needs.
Can dog proof fencing stop digging?
Yes, using dig-proof measures like buried mesh or concrete footers along the base of the fence. Extending the barrier underground prevents dogs from creating tunnels. This is particularly important for breeds with strong digging instincts, ensuring they stay safely within the property without damaging the fence structure over time.
Built for Pets
Providing Practical Protection
Dog proof fencing works best when it’s designed to stop the ways dogs typically try to escape — digging, climbing, or squeezing through gaps. We build fences with features to block each of these behaviours, such as buried mesh or concrete footers for diggers and added height for jumpers.
Gates are fitted with secure latches that can’t be nudged open, and posts are set firmly to prevent movement over time. We also consider how the fence will look, choosing designs that blend in with your property. The result is a low-maintenance, long-lasting fence that keeps your dog safe and where they belong.
