Pet Fence Bottom Barrier

Do you have a cat escaping UNDER your fence? Our pet barrier for the bottom of the fence is a simple yet effective solution to prevent digging. Whether your cat has discovered dips in the ground, dug a hole, or helped by other animals in the enclosure, our barrier will prevent escapes from under the fence. Our fence bottom barrier works with any fence type, whether you have wood, metal, chain link, PVC, brick, block, or others.

The fence barrier system uses galvanized and vinyl-coated welded steel wire to create a physical barrier that stops all traffic where the fence meets the ground. The welded wire is formed into an "L" shape. The bottom is staked into the ground with specially designed heavy-duty galvanized stakes, and the top is secured to your existing fence with fasteners appropriate based on the material. Held in place with your choice of staples, screws, zip ties, or fastener (fasteners are not included due to the wide variety of fencing materials, though they can be purchased separately). Read more about that in the installation section below.

We offer two different lengths of our fence bottom barrier kit. The pet barrier for the bottom of the fence offers 24 inches of tall welded wire (available in lengths of 50 or 100 feet), which allows for 8-16 inches of coverage on the ground and 8-16 inches of vertical coverage up the fence. A total of 24 inches of coverage combined. The welded wire squares are 1.75" x 1.75", so your cat or dog cannot scratch, chew, or fit through it, but grass can easily grow. The welded wire can also be trimmed to accommodate certain heights or work around obstructions in the fence line.
