High Tensile Fence
Description and Benefits:
High tensile fences are known for their strength and durability, making them a popular choice for robust agricultural fencing. Made from high-tensile steel wire, these fences can withstand significant pressure from livestock, reducing the need for frequent repairs.
Best Uses:
This type of fence is particularly effective for containing cattle and sheep. Its resilience to physical stress and low maintenance needs make it an economical choice for large pastures or rangelands. The design also allows for longer distances between posts, which can further reduce installation costs.
Woven Wire Fence
Description and Benefits:
Woven wire fences are exceptionally sturdy and versatile, designed to secure various types of livestock by preventing animals from squeezing through gaps. These fences are constructed from interlocking steel wires that form a tight mesh pattern, which not only contains livestock effectively but also provides a formidable barrier against predators.
Best Uses:
Ideal for enclosures that house smaller animals such as pigs, goats, and sheep, woven wire fencing offers enhanced security and durability, making it an excellent choice for mixed-use farms as well. The tight mesh pattern helps prevent injuries to animals who might try to push through the fence, ensuring their safety and well-being.
Poly Coat Fence
Description and Benefits:
Poly Coat fences combine the physical barrier of traditional fencing with the deterrent effect of an electric charge. They feature a high visibility polyethylene coating over steel wire, which not only enhances durability against weathering but also provides a safe, visible barrier for animals.
Best Uses:
This type of fence is ideal for horses and other livestock that might challenge the boundaries of their enclosure. The combination of a physical and psychological barrier minimizes the risk of animals damaging the fence or harming themselves while trying to escape.
Electric Fence
Description and Benefits:
Electric fences offer a lightweight, cost-effective solution for controlling and containing animals. They work by delivering a mild electric shock when touched, which discourages animals from attempting to breach the barrier. This type of fence is easy to install and maintain, making it a popular choice for a variety of livestock and property sizes.
Best Uses:
Electric fences are best used for temporary or rotational grazing setups, as they can be easily moved and reconfigured. They are also effective for deterring predators and keeping livestock within designated areas without the need for heavy physical structures.
Board Fence
Description and Benefits:
Board fences are traditional wooden fences known for their robust construction and aesthetic appeal. Typically made with three to four wooden rails, they provide a strong, visible barrier that enhances the property’s appearance.
Best Uses:
Board fences are most commonly used for horse pastures as they offer both safety and visibility. They prevent horses from straying while also protecting them from potential injuries that can occur with less sturdy fences.
Horse Rail Fence
Description and Benefits:
The Horse Rail Fence is designed with safety and aesthetics in mind. It consists of rails made from flexible, sturdy materials that can absorb impacts without breaking, reducing the risk of injury to the animals.
Best Uses:
This fence type is particularly suitable for horse paddocks and arenas. Its visibility and resilience make it a safe choice for enclosing spaces where horses are active, ensuring they are secure while providing a clear boundary.
Vineyard & Orchard Trellis
Description and Benefits:
Vineyard and Orchard Trellis systems are specifically engineered to support the unique needs of vineyards and orchards. These structures not only support the growth of vines and trees but also facilitate easier harvesting and maintenance.
Best Uses:
These trellises are best utilized in agricultural settings where climbing plants such as grapes or other fruit-bearing vines are grown. They provide necessary support, optimize space, and increase sun exposure, which is vital for the health and productivity of the plants.
Organic Farm Fence with Metal Posts
Description and Benefits:
The Organic Farm Fence with Metal Posts is specifically designed for organic farms that require contamination-free fencing solutions. Metal posts are used instead of treated wood to avoid chemical leaching into the soil, ensuring that the farm remains organic and toxin-free.
Best Uses:
This fence is ideal for organic farms that need robust, durable boundaries that comply with organic certification standards. It prevents wildlife from entering the area and protects crops without compromising the organic integrity of the farm.
