Our experience at Midtown can help you make safe choices when selecting a fence.

Children:
The distance between pickets must be less than 4” to prevent a child’s head from getting stuck.

The distance between rails should be greater than 24”  to discourage children from climbing the fence.

Choose a fence with soft edges and install latches out of reach.

Make sure the height of the fence is at least 42” in order to keep your child safer.

Pets:
Your fence should be at least 42” tall to make sure your dog cannot jump over.

The smaller your pet the closer the picket spacing should be.
