The Answers to Farm Fencing
Building a fence around your farm can be beneficial for various reasons.
According to the University of Georgia Extension, a permanent fence around the farm boundary is highly desirable as it establishes a fixed property line, helps confine livestock, and protects them and the driving public from possible highway collisions.
Additionally, farm fencing can...
- Protect livestock.
- Prevent costly insurance claims.
- Clearly mark property boundaries.
- Aid in disease control.
- Contain animals.
- Protect crops from being destroyed.
Ultimately, the decision to build a fence around your farm depends on factors such as the type of livestock or crops you have, property boundaries, and the specific needs of your farm.
The different types of fences suitable for farms include:
- Woven Wire Fencing: It comes in various heights and opening sizes to suit a variety of containment needs depending on the size and type of livestock and the number of animals per acre. It is also suited for keeping pests and predators out of pastures.
- Welded Wire Fencing: Made of thick intersecting metal wires that are spot welded at intersections. This type of fencing is most often used in animal pens and comes in both rolls and panels.
- Electric Fencing: Normally used to contain livestock and is often used in combination with other types of fencing to eliminate pressure on the fence. It can also be used for pet containment or keeping animals out of garden areas.
- Barbed Wire Fencing: A proven choice for tough applications, providing durability and protection against the elements. It is often used as a top strand to keep livestock from leaning on the fence.
In addition to the above, there are other types of fences such as rail fences, high-tensile fences, and wooden/vinyl plank fences, each suitable for specific livestock and with unique safety and security benefits.
The type of fence suitable for a farm depends on various factors such as the size and type of livestock, containment needs, and the level of protection required against pests and predators.
