Permanent Electric Fencing

Never moved

Permanent fences need strong wood or steel posts that support high-tensile wires, woven wire, rope or wide tape. These fences are more reliable than other options, but also more expensive and may require a professional installer.

 Good installation is the most important point for successful permanent fences. Solid posts must be very firmly installed at all corners, changes of fence 

line direction, and gateways. 

    Except where high visibility is required, for example horse fencing 

where tape and rope can be used, permanent fences are best constructed using 2.5 mm high tensile wire which is both extremely conductive and durable. 

    Always use good quality insulators on permanent fencing. This is particularly important on long fences with high powered energizers, as poor quality insulators may not withstand the high voltages and joules needed 

to effectively power a fence of many miles. 

    Always use mains energizers when possible and, if vegetation growth fast, buy a higher powered model as it will help compensate for fence shorts.
