Rattlesnake Fencing FAQ

What is rattlesnake fencing?

Rattlesnake fencing is a professionally installed physical barrier designed to prevent rattlesnakes from entering your yard or property. It uses rattlesnake-proof materials and installation methods that block access even through small gaps.

Does snake fencing really work?

Yes. When installed correctly—without gaps, climbable surfaces, or entry points—rattlesnake fencing is highly effective at keeping rattlesnakes out of enclosed areas, with varying affect on other types of snakes.

What makes Rattlesnake Solutions fencing different from other snake fences?

We specialize in full-perimeter, species-aware installations. Every project includes secured gates, proper trenching, unscalable angles, and attention to details like drainage gaps and wall junctions—no shortcuts or partial barriers.

What materials are used in rattlesnake fencing?

We use galvanized steel mesh with holes no larger than ¼ inch, combined with rust-resistant fasteners, ground-trenching materials, and hardware tailored to blend with your existing fence.

Can snakes climb regular fences?

Yes, especially chain-link, block walls, and fences with climbable vegetation or horizontal rails. That’s why proper snake fencing is needed to make these areas rattlesnake-proof.

Do you install snake fencing on block walls?

Yes. Our team anchors mesh directly into block, stucco, and rock walls using specialized fasteners that ensure there are no climbable edges or entry points.

Is it safe for pets and children?

Absolutely. Rattlesnake fencing not only keeps snakes out but also adds a layer of security to protect pets and children from unwanted encounters.

How tall does rattlesnake fencing need to be?

Our fencing typically extends 36 inches above ground and 6–12 inches below ground, depending on terrain. This height is based on the climbing ability of local snake species.

Will you install rattlesnake fencing on only part of my yard?

No. Partial installations don’t work and may increase risk. We only install full-perimeter barriers to ensure effective protection.

How long does a rattlesnake fence installation take?

Most residential projects are completed in 1–3 days, depending on yard size, terrain, and complexity.

Is rattlesnake fencing visible or ugly?

No. Our designs are discreet and custom-fitted to match existing fence lines. We prioritize aesthetics while maintaining functionality.

Do you warranty your snake fence?

Yes. We offer a 1-year warranty on materials and workmanship and free removal of any rattlesnake in the protected area, if that ever happens, for 2 years unless opted out. We also provide ongoing inspections and maintenance options.

Can rattlesnakes dig under fences?

While rattlesnakes don’t dig, they can use existing gaps or animal burrows. That’s why we trench fencing underground as part of every install.

Will it keep out other snakes or animals?

Our fencing keeps out most native snakes, especially rattlesnakes. It may also deter rodents, rabbits, and other small wildlife depending on fence height and configuration.
