Secure, purpose-built spaces where dogs can run free.
Dog fields are rapidly becoming a popular way for landowners to monetise unused land while offering a much-needed service to local communities. At Tomley Projects, we create safe, attractive, and fully functional dog fields, using our proven expertise in equine and livestock fencing to deliver robust, secure enclosures built to last.

I have worked with Tom and his team at Tomley Projects over a number of years on various projects. During the last 12 months they have been fundamental to the transformation of my new property; putting in a new entrance, fencing paddocks and installing a circular 1.5 furlong gallop and a 3 furlong straight gallop. Tom and his team are very professional, all of the work has been completed on schedule and on budget and I could not be happier with the results!
Frequently Asked Questions
Dog fields are one of the fastest-growing leisure trends, offering landowners a steady income stream from otherwise unused fields. With more dog owners seeking secure, off-lead exercise spaces, a well-built and secure field can attract consistent bookings and build a loyal customer base – especially when safety, convenience, and amenities are prioritised.
Yes. We can create visitor parking areas, double-gate systems for secure entry, shelters for shade, and enrichment features like agility equipment or water play areas. We can handle the entire process so your field is ready to open the day we finish.
For most dogs, a 1.8m (6ft) fence is ideal to prevent jumping or climbing. Athletic or large breeds may benefit from a slightly higher specification – we’ll advise based on your intended clientele.
Welded mesh is a popular choice due to its durability, safety, and visibility, but timber-and-mesh and decorative steel are also excellent options depending on your aesthetic and budget. All our designs are tailored for dog safety, with smooth finishes and secure fixings.
Absolutely. Many fields benefit from separate areas for small and large dogs, or quiet areas for nervous pets. We can design the layout to suit your business model and customer needs.
