Electric Fencing

Establishing a permanent fence line is a major cost component of any rural or acreage property. However, if cattle or horses are stocked then the property owner will constantly restraing wire, reastablishing fence posts that have been pushed over.

A convenient and cost effective method of minimising all this extra work is to install an electric fence system.

Consisting of an energizer ( powerpak) insulators, hot line and earth stake, the elcctric fence provides a 24hour protection service to your fence.

Energizers

Energisers are available as mains, battery, mains and battery combinations and solar powered units.

At Gleam O Dawn we stock a comprehensive range of energizers from the major suppliers of electric fence systems in Australia:

Gallagher
Thunderbird
Daken
Speedrite/Trutest

Tapes and Braids

The electrical charge generated by the energizer is transmitted through electric tape or braids. Tape and Braids are available in budget lines and high performance and come in rolls of 200m, 400m and some 500m.

Wider tapes and thicker braids are also stocked for customers who prefer to have their electric fence line more visible for their animals.

What to Consider when Purchasing Fencing

If you are keeping animals in are they are either, a) heavy stock horses/cattle, b) lighter stock, sheep, goats, alpaca, or c) pets, including dogs (depending on the size).

Aesthetics

Ask whether you require a more traditional hardwood post and split rail fence, treated pine, or a combination of timber and steel sat picket.

Tools available

Minimum requirements are; post hole shovel, fencing bar, fencing pliers, & a wire straining tool.

The height of the fence

Standard fence heights vary from 900mm to 1200mm high.

Surrounding environment.

Is the proposed fence line clear of vegetation on your property boundary line, and is there any slopes or creek crossings?

Metres of the fence

Consider the metres of fence required, how many corners and where the gate will be positioned. We recommend always to draw a mud map of the fence outline, showing as much detail as possible.
