My yard is 100 x 100 and i need to fence it in for pets, kids abd privacy from neighbors. It needs to be very inexpensive as i do not have a lot of money. Maybe 300 dollars.

Put in an electric fence for your dogs and plant arborvitaes along the entire perimeter and as they grow you'll have privacy and the electric fence will keep the dogs from going out.

  I dont think electric will work. Pitty mix pup. Big jumper and headstrong. Need an actual fence at least 6 ft.

  You'd be really surprised how does electric fences on how well they contain a headstrong dog I have a corgi and a terrier mutt who are very much both had strong and they get zapped and they back off and it doesn't hurt them plus if you look around you could find one that's inexpensive perhaps at a yard sale that's where I got mine and a friend of mine paid $19 for hers.

I would love to see this answer. I just got a puppy and want to fence my yard, too. I’m thinking a shorter picket fence (maybe 3-4 feet high) would be less expensive than a tall privacy fence. Wood is probably less expensive than vinyl. You could put a pretty garden along the edge of a picket fence for more privacy.

  I would think about the height of the fence according to the mature size of the puppy. We have two dogs that can flat foot jump a four foot high fence, at least they haven't done it to get at squirrels in other yards, just my veggie garden. I immediately raised the two sides of the garden fence to eight feet with the fencing material I had left over. They took out half of my green beans and a few carrots to get at a critter.

  Thats true. You have to think of the size of the dog. I happen to have a small Shih Tzu.

  Two of ours are around a hundred pounds. We have a medium dog and two small dogs, one of which is a ShihChon that is nine weeks old. Our trouble now is keeping the little one in!
