What Are the Types of Electric Fences?

There are various types of electric fences you can use to contain your livestock or secure your property. For farms, your choice of fence will largely depend on the type of livestock that you wish to contain. Therefore, you must fully understand the following types of electronic fences before you can choose the appropriate electronic fence supplies.

Although electric poly wire fencing is not as strong as steel wire, it is more visible to animals, won’t rust, and is suitable for containing slow-moving animals, such as cattle and sheep.

Further, it is lightweight and can be easily keyed up onto a reel, making it a practical solution for temporary fencing solutions, such as strip grazing. It also offers a cost-effective alternative for subdividing pastures.

This type of electric fencing is strong, durable, and highly visible, making it an ideal choice for containing horses and larger homes, crops, or pastures. Electric poly tape fencing comes in three widths: 12mm, 20mm, 40mm, with each width featuring unique benefits for different applications.

The 40-mm tape is recommended for perimeter fences due to its enhanced visibility and superior strength. It is not the ideal choice for areas that experience strong winds.

The 12-mm and 20-mm, on the other hand, are best suited for windy areas. Their thinner width provides less resistance.

In addition, the poly tape is also available in a variety of colors like white, brown, and green. White tape is more visible against green vegetation or brown landscape. Brown or green tape, meanwhile, is noticeable against snowy backgrounds.

An electric poly rope fencing is less visible than an electric tape fence and enhanced with stainless steel interwoven into the rope. This makes it a robust and highly effective conductor and at the same time, renders durability.

Because of its much thinner profile than 40-mm poly tape and its superior strength and conductivity, the poly rope offers the best solution for perimeter fencing in windy conditions and constructing perimeter fencing to contain horses.

If you are planning to construct permanent fences over a large area, be it a farm or home property, electrified high tensile wire fencing maybe your best option.

It’s economical, easy to install, low maintenance, offers better control and has a longer lifespan—lasting up to 20 years. Thus making this type of fencing a better choice than barbed wire, woven wire, and other permanent and non-electrified barrier fences.

High tensile wire fencing is ideal for a permanent fencing solution and is also less harmful than a barrier fence. A barrier fence normally leaves wounds like cuts and marks on livestock, leading to production losses and costly vet bills.

However, unlike poly tape or poly rope fence, high tensile is not suitable for fast-moving animals, such as horses, because it could succumb to serious injury if they run into the wire at speed.
