Wellington Dog Run and Pet Fencing
Whether your dog digs, jumps, squeezes or barks at every passer-by, we build fences, dog runs and enclosures that keep pets safely at home. Every design starts with your animal, your section and how you want to use your yard.
Dog Run and Pet Fencing in Wellington
A fence that looks fine to people can be full of escape routes to a determined dog: a gap under the bottom rail, a low spot on a slope, a wheelie bin to climb on or a gate that does not quite latch. As local fence builders in Wellington, we build pet fencing that closes off those weak points, from fully fenced back yards to dedicated dog runs, cat-friendly enclosures and small-animal pens.
We start by asking about your pet. A small terrier that digs needs a very different fence from a large dog that jumps or a puppy that will soon double in size. We then design around your section, keeping your garden, lawn and outdoor living space usable while giving your animal a safe place to be when you are out.

Dog Run and Pet Fencing Services in Wellington
Secure Containment
We build dog runs and pet fencing with solid footings, tight panel spacing and suitable heights to keep dogs in and other animals out, giving you confidence your pets are safe in the yard. Safe containment brings peace of mind.
Escape-Proof Design
Clever dogs dig, jump and squeeze, so we recommend deeper bottom rails, dig-resistant barriers, taller panels and secure latches that stop common escape tricks, keeping your pet safely contained and your neighbours happy. These details keep determined dogs safely inside.
Safe Materials
Pet fencing should be safe to touch and sturdy enough for daily use, so we use smooth, durable materials without sharp edges, and select non-toxic finishes suitable for dogs and other household animals. That keeps pets comfortable, safe and healthy.
Shade, Shelter and Comfort
We can plan dog runs with space for kennels, shade and shelter from Wellington's wind and rain, helping your pet stay comfortable and giving you a practical, well-designed outdoor area. Thoughtful design keeps your dog comfortable and protected from wind.
Child-Safe Pet Zones
Pet fencing can also separate dogs from children, pools, gardens and driveways, so we design sections and gates that create safe zones, giving your family more peace of mind at home. Separated spaces reduce risks and help everyone relax outdoors.
Custom Sizes and Layouts
Every yard and pet is different, so we tailor the size, shape and position of your run to your section, your dog's breed and your daily routine, creating a practical, long-lasting solution. That tailored approach gives your pet comfortable room.
Purpose-Built Dog Runs and Enclosures
Sometimes the best answer is not to fence the whole section but to create a secure area just for your dog. A dog run gives them space to move while keeping the rest of the yard, the vegetable garden and the deck free of digging and mess.
A well-designed dog run can include:
- Strong mesh or slatted side panels
- Easy-clean gravel, paver or concrete floors
- A roofed section for shade and rain shelter
- Space for a kennel and water bowl
- A lockable, self-closing gate
- Drainage so the run does not turn to mud
Pet Fencing Options for Every Yard
The right material depends on your pet's size and habits, how much you want to see through the fence and how it needs to look from the street.
Timber
Solid paling or close-boarded fences give privacy and reduce barking triggers. See our wooden fence options.
Mesh
Welded mesh and mesh fencing keeps the view open and is ideal for dog runs and digger-proof skirts.
Pickets
Close-spaced picket fencing suits front yards where you want a classic look that still keeps small dogs in.
Fencing for Cats, Chickens and Small Animals
We also build enclosures for other animals that need to stay in, or keep something else out.
- Mesh cat runs attached to the house
- Chicken runs that keep out rodents
- Rabbit and guinea pig pens
- Garden fences to keep pets off plants
- Fenced areas around ponds and water
- Small paddocks for larger pets

Dog Run and Pet Fence Installers in Wellington: How We Work
1. Meet the Pet
We talk about your animal's size, habits and past escapes, then walk the section to find every weak point.
2. Design the Fix
We recommend a height, material and ground treatment, and decide whether a full fence, a run or both makes most sense.
3. Build and Test
We install the fence, check every gap and gate, and point out any spots worth watching while your pet gets used to it.

- Adding dig-proof mesh along the base
- Raising height with extension panels
- Replacing loose or missing palings

Dog Run and Pet Fencing FAQs
It depends on the size and athleticism of your dog. Many dogs are fine with a standard boundary fence, while jumpers need something taller or an inward-angled top. We will recommend a height after hearing about your dog.
We can bury a mesh skirt along the fence line, fit a concrete or treated timber kickboard, or set the bottom rail below ground level. The best option depends on the soil and the fence type.
Yes. A dedicated dog run is often a cost-effective way to keep a dog secure while leaving the rest of the garden free. We can add shelter, drainage and a lockable gate.
