High Tensile electric fence for goats
A good current conductor, such as High Tensile wire, combined with a powerful Gallagher fence energiser, offers you the security you want. The bottom wire of a goat fence is close to the ground, which means that growing vegetation is quite likely to touch the wire. That's why you need a powerful Gallagher fence energiser, as it will singe the grass once it is touched. As a result, there’ll be plenty of power on your fence. A High Tensile fence, combined with a Gallagher fence energiser, forms the perfect barrier for keeping goats safely and securely in a field. It will work well for many years to come. For a safe permanent fence for goats, Gallagher recommends a 5-wire Insultimber High Tensile fence with a 1-metre-high batten every 10 metres and a fixed post every 40 metres.
