Building an Electric Fence

Components of an electric fence
An electric fence system comprises the following elements:
• An energiser.
• An earth system. This comprises a number of metal stakes inserted into the ground, which
are connected to the earth terminal on the energiser.
• PATURA Insulated underground cables. Used to connect the energiser to the earth and fence.
• An insulated fence. Connected to the fence output terminal of the energiser.
Fences can be made to a variety of designs (see below).
Note:
The animal receives a shock when it completes a circuit between the fence and the earth
system. The fence has all live wires and requires conductive soils.

Fence designs
Fences can be constructed to suit the type of livestock and materials available. Discuss with
your PATURA distributor which design best suits your needs.
Permanent electric fencing
PATURA offers a range of products that allow the farmer to construct permanent electric fences.
A professional permanent electric fence allows the farmer to:
• Fence in big areas (fields)
• Gain ideal conductivity for long fences
• Have maintenance-free fences for years
Temporary electric fencing
PATURA offers a range of products that allow the farmer to construct a temporary electric
fence. A temporary fence that can be quickly erected and easily moved allows the farmer to:
• Make smaller paddocks (fields)
• Keep herds of animals separated
• Ration feed
Note:
Use more wires for smaller animals and wild animals. Polytape should be used when
greater visibility is required (e.g. horses).
