Chew-Resistant Construction
Unlike wood, steel mesh holds up to even the most determined chewers. This makes it the most secure option for larger breeds or anxious dogs.
Keep Your Dog Safe in Central Florida
Between busy traffic on Semoran Boulevard, wildlife wandering through neighborhoods, and Florida's lack of natural barriers, letting your dog roam free in Orlando isn't always safe. A dedicated dog run gives your pup room to burn off energy while keeping them secure.
For over 14 years, Wulff Fence has built custom dog runs, dog running fences, and kennels for Orlando pet owners. Whether you need a compact area for potty breaks or a large enclosure for high-energy breeds, we design and build dog running fence solutions that keep your pets contained and trouble out.
Why Chain Link Works Best for Dog Running Fences
While we install all types of fencing, chain link is the top choice for dog running fences and kennels in Central Florida. It balances security with comfort for your pet.
Florida-Friendly Airflow
Solid walls trap heat. Chain link allows maximum airflow to keep your dog cool during Orlando's hot summers.
Clear Visibility
You can watch your dog from the patio, and your dog can see the world without feeling isolated or confined.

Dog Running Fence Options and Sizes
One size doesn't fit all. A Chihuahua needs a different setup than a German Shepherd. We customize your dog running fence based on your breed and yard layout.
Height Options
For smaller dogs, a 4-foot fence usually provides enough containment. If you have a jumper (Boxers, Huskies, or athletic mixed breeds), we recommend 5-foot or 6-foot fencing to prevent escapes.
Anti-Dig Solutions
For diggers, we can install a concrete footer or bottom tension wire to keep the fence tight to the ground.
Vinyl Coating
Want something that blends better with your landscaping? We offer vinyl-coated chain link in black or green, which looks cleaner than standard galvanized steel.
Custom Features for Orlando Dog Running Fences
Central Florida's climate creates specific challenges for outdoor pet enclosures. We design your dog running fence with local conditions in mind.
Shade Positioning
We position dog runs under existing shade trees (those big oaks common in Winter Park and Casselberry) whenever possible to provide natural cooling.
Drainage Planning
We plan the layout to prevent water from pooling in the kennel during afternoon thunderstorms.
Roof Options
For maximum protection, we can add a partial or full cover to shield your pet from both sun and heavy rain.
Frequently Asked Questions
How tall should a dog running fence be?
It depends on your dog's size and athleticism. For most medium dogs, a 5-foot dog running fence works well. For athletic breeds like German Shepherds or Huskies, we recommend 6-foot fencing.
Can dogs dig under chain link fences?
They can try. We prevent this by installing a concrete footer along the bottom or burying wire mesh below ground level.
