CATTLE FENCING IDEAS FOR YOUR FARM/RANCH

What happens here

For high-tensile electric fencing, install wooden posts and secure the fence wires. Electrified wires require rubber insulators at each post to prevent grounding. For gate supports and corners, use a double-bound system where two posts are braced together with a support piece and a high-tensile cable to prevent leaning over time. This fence should also have tensioners along its length to allow for seasonal adjustments (tightening in summer, loosening in winter).

Goal: Set up a durable and electrified high-tensile fence system

Tools and materials

  • High-Tensile Cable — Bracing corner and gate posts
  • Post Driver — Driving wooden posts into the ground, especially in rocky terrain
  • Rubber Insulators — Preventing electrified wires from grounding on posts
  • Tensioners — Adjusting the tightness of the fence wires
  • Wooden Posts — Supporting the fence lines
