Fence Wires Perfect for Live Stocks
To create an enclosure or exclosure, tension-supported fence wire is strung between reinforced posts situated at the ends, corners, and in between lengthy segments. To maintain fence wire spacing and uprightness, use smaller posts in between. Depending on the function of the fence and the animal that needs to be restrained, various types of fence wires can be used. The use of a fence charger will allow you to electrify fence wire if you so choose. Along the whole length of the fence, the fence wire conducts the electric charge from the fence charger. Here are a few of the several kinds of fence wire that are utilized by fence contractors.
Barbed Wire
Sharp points or edges spaced evenly along a wire strand are used to create barbed wire, a type of steel fencing. It was the first type of wire technology capable of containing cattle, and it is frequently used to build low-cost fences. There are numerous designs for barbed wire. There are usually two to five strands in a strand variant. Even by inexperienced fencers, barbed wire fencing may be quickly and easily built; all that is needed are fence posts, wire, and something to fasten the wire to the post, like staples.
Woven Wire
The “knots” of wire that are wrapped around each wire intersection to give it the appearance of being “woven” is a telltale sign of woven wire. While more expensive to buy and install than standard wire, woven wire is safer and less expensive than other fencing materials, including wood, pipe, and other metals. Woven wire works well for enclosing pigs, sheep, and goats when used in conjunction with one or more strands of barbed wire and/or electric wire at the top and maybe another at the bottom.
Aluminum Wire
The most effective wire for carrying a charge is aluminum. Wire made of aluminum conducts electricity four times better than wire made of steel. Aluminum wire does not rust like ungalvanized steel wire, despite being more expensive.
