Keeping Dogs Safe by Adding Gates to Your Railing System

November 8, 2019 by Carole Curcie

When your outdoor space does not have an enclosed or gated railing system, a dog can be free to chase squirrels, get wet or muddy, and experience the limitless adventure that beckons in the great outdoors. For some dog owners, expecting that a dog will be well-behaved while off-leash and outside is not a realistic possibility. Using a railing system to create an enclosed pet area can keep a pet safe, which provides peace of mind to the homeowner.

Adding Gates to Your Railing System Creates a Secure Enclosure for Your Dog


Unfortunately, when outside on a deck, a patio, or in a yard, our canine companions aren’t as well behaved or as well trained as we’d like them to be.

For those of us with furry friends, it can be challenging to relax and enjoy our outside spaces when a tormented pooch sits unhappily inside.

Gated Railing Systems Allow Your Dog to Enjoy the Outdoors with Limited Supervision



For smaller dogs, homeowners may wish to install a gated railing system to enclose an area because they are concerned about keeping their pets safe from natural predators, getting lost, or traffic on nearby roads.

For an unruly companion, using a gated railing system to create a pet-safe environment is an ideal way to protect yourself and your pet from the unpleasantness of dealing with unhappy neighbors, or even liability in the worst-case scenario,.

In an ideal world, our beloved pets would be very well trained, entirely trustworthy, and smart enough to keep themselves safe from injury. However, until such time, it’s a good idea to consider how a custom railing system with gates can create the perfect environment for a man and his best friend to relax and enjoy the outdoors together.

In the US, over two-thirds of the population are dog owners. Installing a gated railing system adds a feature to your home, which may enhance both the value and appeal of your property.
