Thank you for considering PupProtect™ add-on puppy panels to enhance the safety of your pet. The following
information will help you determine which PupProtect style will provide the best fit for your fence.
Determine your picket size 5/8” or 3/4” then measure 10 openings
from the far side of one picket to the near side of the 11th picket.
Divide by 10 to determine your average center to center (c/c)
spacing. We suggest averaging 10 openings since some panels vary
slightly picket to picket.
We produce panels with the follow spacing options for most 6’ and
8’ residential / commercial grade panels. (Note fence manufacturers
use 6’ and 8’ measurements “nominally” which is typically post
center to post center). Fewer picket counts on some fences with the
same c/c picket spacing will still work by trimming the PupProtect
panels accordingly:
1. 4.43” c/c (112.5mm) – 5/8” picket - available for both 6’ – 15 picket and 8’- 21 picket fence panels. Panels
come with screws compatible with aluminum panels on 6’ versions and steel panels on 8’ versions.
2. 4.33” c/c (110mm) – 5/8” picket - available for 8’ – 21 picket fence panels – designed to fit Ameristar’s
Montage® residential panels. Included screws are for steel panels.
3. 4.69” c/c (119.6mm) – 3/4” picket – available for 8’ – 19 picket fence panels. Included screws are compatible
for both steel panel and aluminum panel mounting.
4. Visit PupProtect.com for detailed current drawings of the different styles. Specifications are subject to change
without notice.
Slight differences in spacing generally are difficult to notice and have
little effect on the functionality. Most versions come in split sections
for both shipping and to make installation easier. Due to variations in
various manufacturer’s spacing splitting the sample into two sides for
each panel allows the center of the puppy panel to be centered in the
respective side of the fence panel, mitigating any compounding effect
of a slight difference in the spacing between the fence panel and the
puppy panel. Our standard versions fit the vast majority of common
fence panels.
Using solid steel galvanized wire with a polyester powder coated
finish has several advantages:
1. Hollow steel tubing rusts from the inside out. For tubular aluminum fencing this kind failure is known as
aluminum oxide. PupProtect’s solid steel wire avoids the “from the inside” source of coating failure.
2. PupProtect’s steel round wire can be flexed around the curve of a custom fence panel or our exclusive design
can be formed to follow a grade.
3. Outstanding adhesion of the polyester permits the wire panel to be formed without excess flaking of the
coating.
4. The heavy gauge wires of PupProtect actually flex less horizontally than many of the fence panel pickets they are
mounted on yet are visually unobtrusive.
