Securing your animal fence is important for not only keeping your dog or cat inside the fence enclosure, but for keeping external animals outside of the fence. For average soil types, we suggest adding 12” Kinked Ground Stakes to the bottom of your outdoor pet enclosure. The kinked design of the galvanized stakes create a strong anchorage effect into the ground, making it difficult for the kinked stakes to be pulled out of the ground. When installed correctly, the ground stakes will not protrude from the ground, making it safe for feet and paws to walk around the fence line.
