Overview
What Is a Puppy Pickets Aluminum Fence?
A puppy pickets aluminum fence features additional shorter pickets inserted between the full-height pickets in the lower 18-24 inches of each panel. These secondary pickets reduce the base gap from the standard 4 inches to just 2-3 inches — too narrow for most small dogs and cats to squeeze through. It's the most popular aluminum fence configuration for Houston families with pets.
The puppy picket modification doesn't compromise the aesthetics of the fence — in fact, the denser lower section adds a layered, premium look to the panel. Mustang Fencing fabricates puppy picket panels as a complete unit (not field modifications), ensuring clean welds and consistent spacing throughout.
Why Aluminum? Advantages Over Iron & Vinyl
The lower-density secondary pickets are made from matching aluminum profiles — the same alloy and powder-coat color as the primary pickets — so the entire panel has a cohesive, intentional appearance. Unlike field-inserted secondary pickets (which can look like afterthoughts), our factory-built puppy picket panels look like a premium, designed product.
All aluminum panels are fabricated from commercial-grade 6061-T6 alloy extruded profiles. Posts are 2" x 2" square aluminum tube set in 36-inch concrete footings. All hardware is marine-grade stainless steel — no rust, ever.
Key Benefits
Pet Containment
2-3 inch base gap prevents most small breeds from squeezing through. Works for dogs, cats, and other small pets without the need for additional mesh or wire attachments.
Child-Safe Base
The tighter lower section also prevents toddlers from crawling under or through the fence. Families with young children appreciate the added peace of mind.
Factory Built
Puppy picket panels are fully fabricated in our shop — not field-modified. Every secondary picket is welded and powder-coated before installation for a premium, finished appearance.
Zero Rust — Ever
Aluminum does not rust. Unlike iron or steel, which need repainting every 3-5 years in Houston's humid climate, aluminum maintains its finish for decades.
Powder-Coat Finish
Electrostatic powder coating in any RAL color. Matte black and bronze are the most popular choices in Houston. UV-stable, chip-resistant, and Houston-weather ready.
