All About High Tensile Fencing

High-tensile wire fencing is the most significant improvement in farm fencing since the introduction of barbed wire in 1874. Although relatively new to the United States, high-tensile wire fences have been used to control cattle and sheep on ranches in other countries for over 50 years.

A high-tensile fence is truly HORSE HIGH, HOG TIGHT & BULL STRONG not to mention how easy it is on the consumer’s pocketbook.

FAQs

Q: What is the benefit of high-tensile permanent fencing?

A: High-tensile electric fence systems cost less than conventional perimeter fences such as barbed or woven wire. Since high-tensile fencing requires fewer line posts than barbed or woven wire, the cost per foot is substantially less than conventional fencing.

High-tensile systems also last longer and are safer for horses and livestock since the wire doesn’t cut like barbed wire.

High Tensile fencing can function as a physical barrier AND a psychological barrier, while barbed or woven wire fences are physical barriers only.

Q: Does electric fencing cost more than conventional
fencing? What about High Tensile Fencing?

A: The most costly piece of any fence is the posts. In barbed and woven wire, posts need to be set every 12-15 feet; however in High-Tensile fencing, posts can be set 30-90 feet apart, which will substantially lower the cost of the fence.
