The Critterfence websites have been in operation online as early as November 11, 1998,  when bennersgardens.com launched. Benners Gardens was founded in 1992.

There are many different types of conventional fencing – chain link fence, aluminum fence, wood fence and more. Critterfence specializes in solving the issues that these types of fences can’t; animals passing through large openings, going under conventional fences or going over them.

Some examples include:

  • excluding deer, birds and other animals from eating plants (vegetable gardens, crops, shrubs and trees)
  • excluding rodents and reptiles/snakes with small opening size mesh 1/4×1/4, 1/2×1/2 and 1×1 opening size welded wire fence
  • excluding predators like coyote to protect pets
  • safely containing animals like dogs, cats, chickens, farm animals and more

Studies have shown that electric shock collar type invisible fences negatively impact dog behavior. By helping customers build inexpensive, safe, non-electric fences they can install themselves it helps pets run free and live happier healthier lives.
