Are Vinyl Fences Strong Enough for Dogs to be Safe?

If you have a large, active dog like a Husky or a Boxer, you might worry that a vinyl fence is too "flimsy" to hold them. While vinyl is flexible, high-quality residential vinyl is actually engineered to be significantly stronger and more impact-resistant than wood.

Why Vinyl is "Dog-Proof"

Unlike wood, vinyl doesn't splinter. If your dog jumps against the fence, the panels are designed to flex and snap back into place without breaking. Furthermore, dogs cannot get a "grip" on the slick surface of vinyl, making it nearly impossible for them to climb out. At Ark Fence, we reinforce our vinyl gates with internal steel frames to ensure they don't sag or pop open under the pressure of a large dog.
