Huh. I couldn't answer that. Galvanizing is zinc. No idea what that might do to a dog, but its no different than galvanizing used in the wire of a chain link fence - I think that is used for dog pens all the time.

thanks greg. i am putting together a similiar detail for a client with a dog run. I am concerned about the possibilty of the galv. being poisonous to man's best friend if the fencing becomes a chew toy.

I'm pretty sure its galvanized and not stainless, but a good heavy galvanized coat. I don't know the gage of the wire, but it was quite heavy and they related needing a serious bolt cutter to clip the wires.

Great Railing. The hog wire looks to stainless steel. What gauge did they use?

Cool stuff. I built a fence for someone's yard just like this years ago. However, I didn't dado grooves for the panels. This is a much smarter way!

my pleasure - send pictures when you are done!

Info back from the owner - she says:

We used 3" coated deck screws on each end front and back of the top rail and the bottom rail. No fasteners at all for the "hog panels" the top, bottom and posts were dadoed and the panels fit right in the groove. Fit the panel in the bottom and sides and then when the top rail goes on it firms it right up, they will not be going anywhere!

I'm not sure. I see screw heads at the end of each rail, so it looks like they put a screw in at an angle at each end. There could be one on the inside, and one on the outside, possibly a third from the underside. There could also me a metal clip hidden under the wood stops that retain the wire panels.

Fantastic idea. How did the fasten to the wood framing so seamlessly?
