North Branford, CT - August 19, 2025 - Pet Playgrounds, an innovator in canine outdoor safety, is moving beyond shock collars and electric fences, changing the way pet owners feel about traditional outdoor enclosures. Instead of relying on painful methods and rigid fences, the company is championing a safer way to protect pets: a real physical dog fence that blends naturally into the landscape while keeping pets securely enclosed and deterring wildlife.
“Dogs deserve the freedom to roam and play safely without the risk of shock collars or limitations of bulky wooden fences. Unfortunately, most dog owners don’t realize there’s a middle ground between the two,” said Victor Boemmels, the Founder of Pet Playgrounds. “Our system fills that gap. It’s practical, easy to install, and built with how dogs behave in mind.”
Backed by more than 15 years of product refinement and 4,000+ successful installations across the US and Canada, Pet Playground’s dog fence kits are a proven and tested alternative that balances durability with do-it-yourself simplicity. Each kit features 13 components, including layered steel cable rails, a secure dig guard, a range of installation tools, and the company’s new Spicy Pro Poly mesh, which is chew-resistant and UV-protected.
The system uses a patented three-layer construction: two layers of metal combined with the poly layer. Each steel cable is individually coated for added durability, creating a fence that is 50-75% metal in all the right places.
The three-layer design includes:
-
Chew- and Climb-Resistant Mesh: Pet Playgrounds’ proprietary Spicy Pro Poly™ mesh is UV-resistant and infused with a spicy natural additive that discourages chewing and climbing. The mesh runs the full height of the fence – 5, 6, or 7 feet – and includes tighter openings than standard poly mesh options.
-
Steel Cable Support System: Steel cables are used at key tension points to create a flexible but strong barrier. This movement deters both climbing pets and outside predators, creating a subtle but effective defense mechanism that doesn’t interfere with the view.
-
Anti-Dig Ground Guard: A one-foot-wide metal mesh layer is installed at the base of the fence and staked into the ground every three feet. Over time, natural growth reinforces the barrier, preventing escape through digging, even on uneven or sloped ground.
The kits’ modular system adapts to yards of all shapes and slopes. Post locations can be adjusted up to five feet in any direction, making installations possible even on rocky or uneven terrains. Moreover, pet owners can choose from three support levels: A full DIY kit, a hybrid guided install, or a professional installation, each backed by 100+ videos and a detailed manual.
As more pet owners seek safe, practical alternatives to electric fences, Pet Playgrounds offers a time-tested solution that puts dogs’ well-being first.
