If budget and effectiveness are the priority, go with a 5–6 ft chain-link fence installed properly with secure posts. It’s the most cost-efficient solution that actually holds up to a large dog.

It really comes down to where you live. If you live in a subdivision a wood fence is the best solution. You gain privacy and aesthetics. I would recommend 6x6 post with built panels.

Cheapest and most effective fence option for a large dog:
If budget and durability are the priority, the most cost-effective and reliable option for a large dog is a 6-ft chain-link fence installed with steel or pressure-treated posts set in concrete. It’s strong, long-lasting, and difficult for large dogs to break or push through.
If you prefer a more private look, a 6-ft pressure-treated wood fence with 4x4 or 6x6 posts set in concrete is another good option, but it will generally cost more and require more maintenance over time.
Key things to consider for large dogs:
Minimum 6-ft height
Posts set deep in concrete
Tight spacing at the bottom to prevent digging
Reinforced gates and latches
The best choice depends on your budget, dog size/strength, and whether privacy is important.
