Electric Fencing Basics - What is an electric fence?
An electric fence is a barrier used to keep your animals safe and unwanted animals out of gardens and other landscapes you want to protect. Electric fencing is also ideal for grazing or pasture management as it contains animals on a selected area of pasture or crop.
It consists of the following components:
- Fence energiser – emits a current pulse.
- Conductor – tape, (plastic) wire, High Tensile or Equifence for conducting the power.
- Posts – for fitting the conductor.
- Insulators – insulate the power from the wooden or iron posts, so that it won't flow to the ground.
- Earthing – conducts the power back to the energiser when the conductor is touched. This creates a loop.
Electric fencing solutions
An electric fence system is an ideal solution for safe containment of animals in a select area, or to control animal movement on farm. Electric fencing can also be used to achieve optimum pasture yields.
Permanent fencing
Permanent high tensile wire systems create long life, permanent electric fences. They are easy to install and operate and provide highly effective animal control that lasts a lifetime.
Mobile fencing
Portable fencing is so easy to move and set up, it’s a versatile solution for fencing any type of animal, even on the most remote area of your property.
