Cat Fencing Comparison

A cat fence is a selection of fencing, fence posts, accessories and hardware in a kit to build a complete fence starting from scratch.

These cat fences are not electric and do not shock your pets. They are designed to safely keep your cats and other pets like dogs in - while also keeping other animals out.

There are 1000+ fence kits, combinations and options within each of these cat fences.

The purpose of this page is to help you compare the choices to select best the cat fencing you need. Since 1992 we have been innovating this type of specialty fence to keep cats in. Many of our items are proprietary, patent pending and you won't find them anywhere else.

In general, most cat fencing customers select these three things:

  • No climb extenders. This type of cat fence includes extenders that mount on top of our fence posts creating a physical barrier to prevent cats from climbing over the fence. No climb fence kits are available in one direction, or in both directions (to prevent climbing animals from getting in – like raccoons that go after cat food for example).
  • Fence with overlap. This type of cat fence includes extra fencing overlapped and staked to the ground. Cats are sneaky; this acts as a dig deterrent and covers small peaks and valleys in your landscape your cat can use to escape.
  • Chew barrier base. Not all cats are chewers but most other animals are. With a poly cat fence with an all metal chew barrier base (most popular) you have the best chance of building an escape proof area for your cats while protecting them from predators like coyotes.

How to successfully use our product

If you need to create an escape-proof area for your cats (while keeping other animals out!), our cat fences are for you. Here’s why:

  • Our cat fencing is strong but nearly invisible from a distance. It's designed to blend in with your existing landscape.
  • Completely NON-ELECTRIC, no shock cat containment without any components to fail. No need to shock your cat either!
  • Strongest components. We use heavy gauge steel support posts and wider corner posts with solid steel no climb extenders.
    • We offer cat fences with steel tension cable as an option, engineered to not only keep your cats in but other animals out.
  • Our cat fences are customizable. Choose the best strength, height, chew resistance and more for your project.
    • This includes cat fences with four sides and a top and small opening size bottom wire to keep even snakes and the smallest animals out.
  • Renting? Need a temporary portable fence?
    • All of our fences with ground sleeves can be installed permanently or made removable if needed. Use included locking set screws to release our fence posts.
  • Our cat fence kits include fencing that's overlapped on top of the ground and pinned to the ground with ground stakes.
    • This is very important for cats and other pets because it covers changes in elevation and prevents your cat from using their noses to push up under a fence to get out, or from digging to get out.
  • Our poly cat fence kits have flex– naturally as a characteristic not easy to climb. Poly fence also doesn’t have memory – it flexes back to it’s original shape rather than metal fence, which stays bent).
    • Metal fence is very stiff where cats can climb it like a ladder.

Cat Fence Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fence a cat?
Yes. Cats can safely be contained while keeping other predator animals out. This is done by installing a fence with climb protection that cats and other animals can’t climb over.
Do cat fences work?
Yes. A properly installed cat fence with no climb protection will keep cats in. Some cat rescues secure hundreds of cats separated by gender, by age, ailment (like feline HIV) etc.
How do I fence in my yard for cats?
Start by choosing an area without climbable trees or objects that cats can climb up or jump onto to get over a fence. Cats are very agile climbers and can jump up to distances of 6 feet or more. Install a fence. Pay close attention to bottom areas cats can dig down and under to get out or small side areas they can push through, like where the fence meets a building.
How long is a typical fence for a cat?
100-200 linear feet. Most cat fences for a back yard start at a house or building, extend into the back yard area, then return again to the house or building. This allows for enough space for cats to roam free, lounge in the sun, chase bugs etc. A safe area with a cat door access or outdoor shelter is recommended.
What is the best height for a cat fence?
The most common height for a no climb cat fence is 7 1/2 feet tall. This gives you an overhead canopy at 7 ½ feet and clearance for an access gate below. It also makes it more difficult for cats to jump from an object (like the top of a gas grill) on top of the cat fence canopy to escape. As you know cats are very sneaky and will take every opportunity to test the new area you have built for them.
Do electric fences work for cats?
No. Cats are great climbers, can jump up to 6 feet and are very good at escaping from electric fences. Electric fences also don’t stop other animals from entering an area, especially predators like coyotes.
