Fence Specifications at a Glance

Last updated 21 Sep 2026

  • Sheep — stock netting or electric netting, around 90–105 cm high.
  • Cattle — two or three strands of tensioned or electric wire; good earthing matters as much as the wire.
  • Horses — visible tape or rope; avoid barbed wire.
  • Pigs — a strong perimeter with electric wire low down, close to nose height.
  • Strainer posts at corners, ends and every long run; intermediates every few metres, driven at least a third of their length.
