The type of fence you build for your animals will be most effective if you've first considered the nature of your animals and the size of area to be fenced. The size and location of the enclosure determine the pressure the fence will receive from animals. Also, you have to consider the labor and skill available for installation.

When installed and maintained correctly, an electric fence is an economical and practical solution. The electric fence works by delivering high-voltage, low-amperage pulses to train animals to stay away from the fence without causing harm. Choosing the right power source and voltage is crucial, especially based on the fence's coverage area, soil type, and the type of animals being fenced. Electric fences are easy to install and require materials such as an energizer, ground rods, insulators, posts, and electric wire.

Whether you're building a temporary fence or managing a long-term pasture, this guide will help you understand the basics of electric fencing and provide practical advice for selecting the right equipment.

Building a good electric fence is like anything else, you get out what you put in. If you use the proper equipment and maintain the fence the result will be a permanent structure just like the barb wire you use to use. The advantage of using ‘electric’ or ‘high tensile’ fences is on average they cost less than a barb wire fence, since less materials are required (ie posts, staples and wire) and they take less time to

Once an electric fence is properly installed, it can deliver a shock to animals that come into contact with the electrically charged wire. This happens because the electric current passes through the animal and completes the circuit by reaching the earth ground. Before constructing your fence, it is important to consider your specific fencing needs and seek advice from experts to ensure the best design.

Human-elephant conflict is an enormous challenge for farmers, conservationists, and political leaders to deal with. Elephants are intelligent animals that can cause significant damage to crops and property, leading to economic losses and even human fatalities. However, tools to mitigate human-elephant conflict are expensive and will always need to be maintained requiring enormous resources from a range of different stakeholders.

Installing an electric fence is a straightforward and reliable way to manage livestock or protect your property. By planning your layout, selecting the right materials, installing grounding and braces correctly, and performing regular maintenance, you can ensure consistent performance and safety. Use high-visibility wire and a high-joule charger to maximize effectiveness and reliability.

PROGRESSIVE CATTLE – Electric fencing changed the game for cattle producers and sustainability on pastureland. Selecting the correct type of fencing for your operational goals impacts the efficiency of your forage and protects resources on your land. Temporary electric fencing gives cattle owners more flexibility in their management, says Amanda Courtney, owner of Live Wire Products. Different seasons and changing weather conditions are easier to handle with electric fencing because cattle can be moved quickly and easily, she says. “I can isolate and set up 5 acres [of fencing] in an hour.”
