HIGH TENSILE FAQs
Answers to the 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 fences, 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.
Q: Does high-tensile fencing require special installation?
A: A high-tensile fencing manual spells out fence construction in laymen’s terms as well as provides various fence design options for both electric and non-electric installations. Fi-Shock also provides a video which demonstrates the safe, quick and easy way to construct a high-tensile fence.
Q: Can you have multiple hot wires with high-tensile fencing?
A: Yes, the normal installation of a High-Tensile fencing system calls for Hot wires and ground wires to be alternated. Example a 5 wire High-Tensile installation calls for 3 hot wires and 2 ground wires (Hot/Ground/Hot/Ground/Hot). Fi-Shock™ electric fence systems provide safe, secure, superior quality electric fencing for all your animal containment and control needs.
