Electric Fence — what we stock
Electric fence is the highest-density containment tool in agricultural fence — short stored energy delivered as a pulsed shock teaches livestock to respect a fence that physically isn't strong enough to hold them. Fenced.ca supplies energizers (the "fence charger") in solar and AC variants sized by joule output: 0.1 J for paddock training and small portable; 1–4 J for permanent perimeter and moderate herd; 6–20 J for large ranch and predator deterrent; 40+ J for industrial wildlife exclusion. Energizer sizing follows wire length and "fence load" (vegetation contact, wet conditions, soil conductivity).
Wire substrate: poly-wire (steel filaments in polyethylene strand — visible, light, the temporary-fence standard); poly-rope (thicker poly-wire, equine-grade visibility, the horse-paddock standard); poly-tape (flat ribbon, maximum visibility, often layered with poly-rope on multi-strand horse fence); bare 12.5-ga galvanized wire (the permanent high-tensile substrate, lowest cost per linear foot).
Configuration: permanent perimeter typically 3–5 strands at 12″ vertical spacing for cattle, 6 strands for sheep/goat (more strands for smaller livestock), 2-strand offset on existing barbed-wire fence for predator deterrent. Portable kits use reel-and-stake systems for rotational grazing.
Charger sizing: 0.5 joule for <800 m of single-wire fence (backyard pet, small herd). 2–4 joules for 2-4 km (mid-size herds, multi-strand). 8–15 joules for 5+ km with 5–7 wire strands (large cattle ranches, deer exclusion). Gallagher, Premier 1, and Stafix are the dominant Canadian-distributed brands.
Wire and grounding: Galvanized smooth high-tensile wire (12.5 ga, 1300 lb tensile) on insulator-mounted posts. Grounding is critical — 3 × 2.4 m galvanized ground rods spaced 3 m apart, connected with insulated 10 AWG wire. Insufficient grounding is the #1 cause of weak shock complaints.
Safety + signage: Electric fence requires regulatory warning signs every 50 m visible from approach. Most Canadian provinces follow CSA C22.2 No. 25 for fence-energizer certification. Cannot be used on residential property lines facing public sidewalks.
Pricing & lead time: Electric fence pricing (DIY supply): 0.5J charger + 800 m wire kit runs $300–500, 5J charger + 2 km kit at $700–1,200, 10J charger + 5 km kit at $1,500–2,500. Installation labour at $3–6 LF. Grounding hardware mandatory. Same-week shipping on stocked items; specialty chargers (e.g., bear protection) add 2 weeks.
