Four Easy Steps To Find Out What You Need

Step One

Gather the necessary tools:

Tape measure
Pen and pencil
Paper or notebook
Smartphone

Step Two

Measure the height of existing boundaries

Use a tape measure to check the height of any existing boundaries such as fences or walls. On existing fences, measure to the top of the fence post. If there are raised flower beds or raised ground next to the boundary, measure from the highest ground level to the top of the wall or fence post.

Step Three

Measure the length of the boundary

Each existing boundary of different height will need measuring in length. For example, if your fence is a straight run but drops from 1.8m to 1.6m mid-way, please measure both lengths separately. Where there is existing standard fencing, you can usually work out the length of the boundary by counting the number of fence panels and multiplying it by the standard width of fence panels, which is 2 meters.

Step Four

Send your measurements to ProtectaPet

Once you have measured your garden and recorded the measurements, please send us your plan, along with photographs of your garden. Along with your full address, we can verify the garden measurements on Google Earth and advise you what you will need to secure your garden.
