The Longest Fence in the World – The Wild Dog Fence

Tuesday, December 29, 2009 9:15 am

Hello again vinyl fence blogger(s)! (I’m hoping there are actually more than two of you!)

I’m back with a fun little factoid for all you fence lovers! Did you know that in Southern Australia they built a 5,614 KM fence (that’s 3,488 miles) from Jimbour in Queensland to the Great Australian Bight, separating them from Northern Australia??? They must really hate dingos… or Northern Australians!!! Whichever it is, that’s a mother fence!!! They call it the Wild Dog Fence or Dingo Fence. It’s 6 feet high and goes 1 foot underground, that way them dingos wouldn’t be able to jump over it or dig under it. Too bad we didn’t get contracted to build that fence! With our vinyl fence, it would have been the prettiest outback fence around! Oh well!

Check out the 4 pictures below:

This is the first time I have ever even heard of this fence. Does anyone else here have some other great facts about the Dingo Fence?

5 Seriously Ineffective Fences

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 5:48 pm

Does any of this look all too familiar to you? We’re here to help!
1. Um I think your fence blew over…or I guess if you look closely rusted over.

2. Just leave it down…don’t waste your time putting it back up…you got the right idea. Go get a vinyl fence!

3. Yeah wood doesn’t do so well in the snow.

4. I think there might be some cows running around there so watch out.

5. This must of been from the 1800′s or something….I think its time for a new fence.

Hope you enjoyed the pics everyone…well try and find some more out there. If you have any send em our way or if you’d like send us a before and after of your vinyl fence project and we’ll feature it here on our blog.
