Link Chain

A Border Collie is a breed of dog that needs plenty of exercise and a great way to do that is to let them run and frolic in a fenced in back yard. There are special needs that should be taken into consideration when installing a dog fence for these active and curious puppies. The Border Collie is agile, energetic and intelligent. They love to jump and can jump rather high. If they see an opening they will often take it especially if there is something interesting on the other side. They are very crafty and quite capable of entertaining themselves. With that in mind, let’s look at some dog fence options.

Types of Fences include invi fences, chain link, wood, cement or cinder block, wire, vinyl and any combination thereof depending on the terrain. The golden standard in fencing is chain link. It is easily available, can be installed by a moderate do-it-yourselfer and is cost effective. For the Border Collie, a dog that can jump relatively high, it is also cost effective and can be purchased in 5 or 6 foot high lengths. Chain link needs to be seated into the ground to prevent your Border Collie from pushing out under it. Unfortunately it is easy for a Border Collie to climb this type of dog fence. The same can be said for any wire fencing.

Cement or cinder block is really sturdy but very expensive. Vinyl fencing is not a good idea for a Collie as it has too many gaps though this type of dog fence is durable, weather resistant and easy to install. Finally we come to the invi fence. These are bad ideas for a Border as they can see anything and everything and have been known to endure the shock and bust through this type of dog fence. Also, anything that wants to get near your Border Collie can just walk right over it. If the batteries in the collar die then there is no stopping them. Border have also been known to simply take the collar off rendering this dog fence useless.

Although not usually diggers, the Border Collie should have a dog fence that sits on or goes into the ground. Make sure you have secure gates. Border Collie’s are problem solvers. If these little puppies want to get out they can easily figure out how to lift a latch. There dog fence also needs to be able to follow the terrain. If you have a 5 foot fence and a 1 foot mound next to it, a Collie may find it easy to jump over.

For a Border Collie, overall and ideally, a wooden privacy fence should be used. When building this dog fence you’ll need to cement the support posts into the ground. You’ll also need to dig a small trench for the boards to slide into as this will keep your Border from seeing something on the other side and doing everything in its power to get at it. The boards of your dog fence also need to be butted up against one another to avoid gaps and prevent easy climbing for your Collie. Finally, the gates need to have latches that can be locked.

How do you remove a chain link fence, including the concrete the posts are in?

I have about 150 ft of chain link fence, and I am looking to remove it. I would like to know what tools are necessary. I am not interested in sawing the posts and leaving the rest in the ground. Thanks

Remove all of the fencing first, then start on the posts. Most posts do not have as much concrete around them as you would think. Start working the post back and forth until it is loose enough to pull out. If that does not work, you can use a come along or a truck.
