There are all kinds of electric fencing according to the area you wish to fence, the type of animal you need to contain, and the type of predator you wish to wish to keep at bay. In order to find the proper electric fencing you will have to know what type of electric fence you need. To help you this article will explain by the animal you wish to contain the types of electric animal fencing that is available.
for horses, you may need permanent horse fencing or temporary horse fencing. For horses, the fence needs to be visible in order to protect these fast moving creatures from injuring themselves on the electric fence. Along with this, you will need the proper electric battery energisers to ensure your fence has enough power in case you have a large area for your horses. In cases of paddock fencing, which you need to move frequently for grazing purposes you may wish to use polytape instead of polywire that is often used on permanent fences. The good news is you can also find horse fence kits that have everything you need for the size of electric fence you need along with all instructions for a quick and easy installation.
Sheep and goat electric fencing is a bit different that horst fencing. Both of these animals have a special way in which to get through fences with the idea to wander off to greener pastures. For sheep and goats, you can choose from polypost and twine or wire. the posts should be about 5m apart with a few lines of polytwine with the bottom strand being close to the ground, as you would do for rabbits or chickens. Another great electric fence option for sheep and goats is netting. Netting is often used for temporary fencing, can be moved easily for grazing purposes, and will ensure that your sheep or goats will stay where you want them.
Chicken electric fencing is not only used for keeping chickens in check but it is used to keep out that sneaky fox and badgers that would love to spend the night in the chicken coop and feasting on your prize flock. Chicken netting can also be used for peacocks, ducks, and geese. You have a choice between chicken netting or post and twine. The only problem with the post and twine is that the smaller chickens can find a way to get out and into danger.
For those wishing to keep rabbits out of their vegetable garden the best option is netting. Netting that is positioned out toward the predator will keep most animals out of your garden including cats that might wish to dig in the dirt even though they do not want to eat your vegetables.
