Prevent Climbing: Select Hole Size
If you are unsure of your dog’s ability to climb we suggest going for a mesh hole size of 25mm x 25mm or less. This will ensure that your dog’s paws do not fit into the holes so they can lift themselves up and over the mesh.
| Hole size |
13mm x 13mm |
19mm x 19mm |
25mm x 25mm |
50mm x 50mm |
