Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum
Many of you know that we purchased our first home in March. It is on 1 acre and has a great backyard for the dogs. Problem is that it is not fenced! I have been holding off because of the expense. I want it to look nice - we can tie into our neighbor's cedar fence on one side, but the rest is up to us!
On Saturday I ran into a guy from high school who does all types of contract work. He does fences quite a bit and told me he would purchase the materials at cost, not upcharge me on those and charge for hourly labor only. He gave me a quick estimate based on the size of our backyard (probably .4 acres) of something quite a bit less than I originally guessed it would cost us.
January-March is super dead for him so he is going to come out after the holidays and we are getting started! Cedar along the other side to give us some additional privacy and match the neighbor's, then aluminum along the front/driveway (with a gate to get to the back porch) and aluminum along the back. I want people driving by to still be able to see our beautiful woods and don't want a huge privacy fence along the whole yard.
But bottom line: the dogs are getting a fence!!!!! I cannot wait for the day that I can open the back doors and let them run out and romp and exercise and play play play play!

Make sure little Taquito won't be able to get through the aluminum part. The little shih tzu next door comes right through ours.
Awesome.. your dogs are going to love it :)
How great for you AND the dogs!
This will be one of the best gifts you could ever give to yourself and your dogs. Congratulations!!!!!
What exciting news! The dogs will be SO surprised!! Great for the whole family!
Congrats! I know how wonderful it feels to install fencing. LIfe is so much easier. Enjoy!
How exciting. I personally cannot imagine how much more difficult it would be for me to have my dogs without a fence.
Yay! Peri's going to love it!!!
I have a wonderful backyard all fenced but Baxter will not go outside and stay without me out there with him. I know your babies will love the new freedom! Merry Christmas!
