Description
Does your dog jump over your existing fence with ease? The Standard Dog Proofer Fence Extension Kit utilizes our straight fence height extensions to make your fence up to 3′ taller and stop dogs from jumping over existing fencing!
Extend the height of your existing fence of nearly any type. Our dog-proof fence extension works with several fence types, including wood, chainlink, brick/concrete block, and decorative aluminum/wrought iron.
Need an extension that can raise the fence height taller than three feet to keep your dog safe and secure? We can help! Please contact us.
Durable, Purpose-Built Components
The Dog Proofer Standard Fence Extensions are made of a single piece of 1 ⅜” diameter, 16 gauge galvanized steel tubing that is finished in a durable black powder coating. Each fence height extension has two mounting plates welded in place that work on any flat fence post, wall, or surface. Using U-bolts, the extensions can also attach to round or square fence posts, making them ideal extenders of chain link fencing and decorative aluminum or wrought iron fences.
See the “What is included” Tab for information on what is included in each kit size.
Mesh Fencing Options
Each dog-proof fence topper kit includes your choice of mesh fencing material. Choose either Durable Poly Mesh or Heavy-Duty Welded Wire Mesh.
Durable Poly Mesh is a fencing material made with a specially formulated thermoplastic polymer formed into a grid that is not only flexible, but also very strong. This fence height extension material has a 600lb breaking strength and includes UV inhibitors that make it perfectly suited for outdoors. Poly mesh tends to be easier to install and less costly compared to the welded wire option.
If your dog is aggressive or tends to chew or pull at the fence with their teeth, we offer an upgraded Heavy-Duty Welded Wire Mesh fence extension option. This is a strong steel fence material that guards against chewing damage. The fence material is made of steel strands formed into a square grid pattern and welded together to create openings that measure 1.7” x 1.7”. The diameter of the individual wires is about 2.0-2.2mm. The welds are made with ungalvanized steel, and the whole mesh sheet is hot-dip galvanized before the black vinyl coating is applied. This makes for very strong welds and durable, long-lasting fence height extension material.
Combine Fencing Solutions
A Freestanding DIY Dog Fence can be used to build a new fence line from the ground up and create a standalone enclosure for your dog. But did you know it can work with your existing fence too? Create a barrier across a walkway, use it as a partition to divide a yard or keep dogs separated, or use part of your existing fence to create an enclosure within the yard. Freestanding fencing solutions can even be used alongside your fence extender for dogs.
Gaps in your fence line? Incomplete perimeter fence? Or maybe a shared fence with your neighbor that you can’t modify? Fill in the gaps with our Freestanding DIY Dog Fence!

*Fasteners are NOT included in our fence extension for dog kits due to the wide variety of fence types. Refer to the Installation Tab for more information on selecting the right fastener.
Note: arms, fences, zip ties, and other accessories are available separately. Please order according to your needs which may require more or less than the number of components provided in the fence hight extension kits. Contact us if you would like assistance determining what components you will require for your specific application.
The dog-proof fence topper arms secure to wood posts with screws or lags, round metal posts (like for chain links) with U-Bolts, and square metal posts with Square U-Bolts.
Both fence options are secured to the Dog-Proofer arms with our black UV stable 120lb test Heavy Duty Zip Ties.
Chain Link Fences:
- You will need (2) U-Bolts of the appropriate size to secure each Houdini-Proof arm to a round chain link post. We sell U-Bolts in sets of (2), so one set of U-Bolts is what you need to secure one arm when installing your fence extender for dogs.
- It is not easy to measure the diameter of round chain link posts due to post caps and top rails blocking access to the top edge of posts. Use a soft tape measure like the measuring tapes used for sewing to measure the circumference of the post. A circumference of about 5 1/4″ = 1 5/8″ post, a circumference of about 6″ = 2″ post, and a circumference of about 7 5/16″ = 2 1/2″ post. Usually, chain link fence toppers for dogs have bigger posts at corners, endpoints, and gates.
- The gate tubes are usually a smaller (1 3/8″ diameter) tube. Use a 1 5/8″ U-Bolt to a gate tube. If you’re installing a fence extension kit to a fence with a single door gate that will open in, you need one arm on both the gate hinge and latch-to posts and an arm on the gate on the latch side. A double door gate opening in would require that both gates have an arm where the gates meet. For outward opening gates, you need one on each gate post and one on each side of the gate. The arms on the gate need to be set higher so that when the gate opens, the arms on the gate can pass over the arms on the posts.
Decorative Aluminum/Steel and Wrought Iron Fences:
When installing your fence extender for dogs, use square U-Bolts to secure the arms to the posts. We sell the most common size of 2″ square U-Bolts. Check your post size. You can also use self-drilling/tapping screws or drill and use bolts. You will likely need to use self-drilling/tapping screws or bolts at gates while installing your fence extension kit.
Wood Fences:
- Where possible, attach the arms of your fence topper for dogs to the posts with outdoor wood screws or lags. At corners, you may need our Corner Adaptor Kit as the corner arm needs to point at a 45-degree angle.
- Outward opening gates require an arm on both sides of the gate, and those arms need to be higher than the arms on the gate posts so the arms on the gate can swing over the arms on the posts.
- Inward opening gates require an arm on the gate posts and an arm on the gate on the latch side. Use fence installation tools to cut the fence between the arm on the latch post and the gate’s latch side, and the gate will open.
Masonry Walls:
Secure the arms to the wall with masonry fasteners. You’ll need four per arm to install your fence extender for dogs.
