Iron and Aluminum Fences
Puppy Picket Fence
A second, tighter row of pickets in the bottom section, so a small dog cannot pass through an ornamental fence.
Who buys this fence, and why
You have a small dog and an ornamental fence he can walk straight through. Puppy picket adds a second set of shorter pickets across the lower section, which closes the gap near the ground. You keep the sightline you bought the fence for and the dog stays in the yard. Owners with a terrier, a dachshund or a new puppy ask for it most. It also suits an owner who wants the open look along the front and a closed lower line around the back.
What your money buys
The lower row of pickets sits tighter than the main row, usually through the bottom foot or so. Above that the fence looks like any other ornamental panel. Gates carry the same detail, because a dog finds the gate before he finds the fence. The whole panel is powder coated as one piece. The factory welds the added pickets into the panel rather than the crew adding them on site, so the finish matches everywhere.
What to settle before the crew arrives
Measure your dog at the shoulder and tell us the number. The spacing follows the animal, not a catalog. Decide whether every side needs the detail, because a side against the house often does not and the saving is real. Tell us if you are likely to have a smaller dog later, since adding it after the fact costs more. Tell us which runs the dog actually reaches, because the detail is only worth paying for where he goes.
What it asks of you once it is up
Wash it once a year like any coated metal. Check the bottom section where a dog leans on it and where the trimmer reaches. Keep mulch and soil off the lower pickets so the coating stays dry. Walk the line each spring and look for a gap where the ground has settled under the fence. Check the ground under the fence after heavy rain, since a dog finds a washed out low spot before you do.
Why the Johnson build is the one to buy
A salesperson measures the fence line in your yard, so the number is yours and not a guess at it, and it covers the tear-out and the haul-off. A hundred crews put it up on the date we gave you, most of them in a day. One year of craftsmanship on the work, and not one callback on twenty thousand jobs last year.
