Electric Fencing Essentials at Woonona Petfoods

Electric Fence Units

The heart of any electric fencing system, fence units generate the charge needed to create an effective barrier. We offer mains-powered, battery-powered and solar powered energisers, as well as portable fence units for smaller enclosures.

Earth Leads & Earth Stakes

A proper grounding system is crucial for electric fencing efficiency. Our range includes earth stakes and earth leads; both essential for connecting the energiser to the ground system. 

Electric Fence Tape & Wire

Choosing the right fencing tape or wire ensures visibility, durability, and conductivity. We offer a range of electric fence tape, polywire, polyrope and high-tensile electric wire. 

Insulators

Insulators keep the fence tape or wire securely in place while preventing energy loss. We stock post Insulators, corner insulators, and claw & ring insulators.

Fence Joiners & Strainers

For a tight, secure fencing line, wire joiners are essential for connecting and repairing fencing sections. Our range of strainers keep fencing taut and prevents sagging over time.

Multiriggers & Offsets

Multiriggers and offsets help position the electric fence correctly while maintaining clearance from traditional fencing. Multiriggers allow multiple fence lines to be installed at different heights, while offsets help keep animals away from existing fences, extending fence life.

Post Caps

Post caps provide protection and stability to fence posts while preventing moisture damage.

Electric Fencing for Different Animals

• Horses: Use electric fence tape for high visibility and safety and install multiple strands at different heights to prevent jumping or pushing through
• Cattle: High-tensile electric wire or polyrope is ideal for large paddocks. Always ensure proper grounding for effective containment
• Sheep & Goats: Use electrified netting or closely spaced wires to prevent escape. Keep fence height low to the ground to deter digging
• Dogs & Pets: Electric pet fencing provides secure containment for outdoor areas. Use low-voltage energisers for a mild deterrent

Tips for Maintaining a Reliable Electric Fence

• Regularly Check Voltage: Use a fence tester to ensure proper charge levels
• Keep Vegetation Clear: Overgrown grass can cause energy loss
• Inspect Fence Lines: Look for loose wires, broken insulators, or weak connections
• Maintain a Strong Grounding System: Proper earth stakes are key to fence efficiency
