Real Fences vs. Invisible Fences: Choose the Real Deal

Bruce Corser • March 5, 2024

Pet owners are always making decisions on how to best care for their furry family members. One major concern is how to keep them safe, especially outside in the yard. Choosing between a real fence vs. an invisible fence can be a tough decision. Let’s learn a little about each choice.

A real fence creates a physical barrier around your property. They can be made from wood, vinyl or metal and come in various styles and heights.


An invisible fence is an electronic system where a wire is buried along the boundary. Your pet then wears a special collar that emits a warning sound or mild electric shock when they get too close to the perimeter.

Reasons To Choose A Real Fence


At Patriot Fence Crafters, we believe a real fence is the best choice compared to an invisible fence. Below are four reasons why a real fence may be the best choice for you and your pet. 


Clear Physical Boundary: A real fence offers a visible barrier that pets can easily understand. This helps prevent confusion and can reduce the chance of escape attempts.


Protection from External Threats: A physical fence not only keeps pets in but also keeps other animals out. Choosing a privacy fence will help ensure your pet's safety from dangerous wildlife.


Stress-Free Containment: A real fence provides a safe boundary without negative reinforcements such as an electric shock which may cause stress or fear in your pet.

 

Durability and Reliability: A physical fence doesn’t rely on batteries or electronic components working correctly to keep your pet safe. It also doesn’t require your pet to have their collar on to keep them safe.


Every pet and every home is unique and you have to choose the option that best fits your family and ensures the safety and happiness of your furry friend.
