Electric fencing for pigs
Temporary and Permanent strip grazing for pigs
Pigs, having little hair on their bodies, hold electric fencing in high respect. Three lines of tensioned wire supported by tread-in posts are usually sufficient to contain them.
Posts may be plastic or preferably metal (with 3 plastic Insulators). To keep the lines taught and still be able to move and store the fence easily a 3 reel system should be used.
3 line fence
3 lines of wire, electric rope or polywire are sufficient for
containing pigs. Wire is the strongest and best conductor, rope is the
most visible (it is possible to have a combination of the two) and
polywire is the cheapest.
The lines can be supported by 3ft plastic posts but metal posts with 3 Insulators are recommended for larger pigs. We even have a metal post which is live to stop pigs from pushing/breaking posts. A 3 reel system is ideal for both keeping the lines taught, storing the fence lines when not in use and for speeding up fence moves.
Permanent Electric Fencing for Pigs
The Predator fence is ideal for containing a large number of breeding pigs and can be adapted to create safe pens keeping foxes out and even keeping boars away from each other in adjacent pens.
