One of the most important areas of a deer farm is the fence. Keeping livestock safe and secure is a top priority for deer farmers. The most effective and widely used type of deer fence is the fixed knot woven wire fence.
A heavy duty Titan fence is one of the strongest and most durable fence options on the market. Its strength comes from its fixed vertical wires and the fixed Titan knot, a large non-slip knot, easily visible and extremely strong.
The fence is made of galvanized steel and is resistant to corrosion damage. A properly installed, high-quality woven wire fence made of high-strength steel can last for more than 40 years, depending on the quality and treatment of the fence posts used; This greatly reduces maintenance and repair costs compared to using a lower quality or poorly installed fence.
There are several different options for fixed knot fences, with different options available for the height of the woven wire and the gaps between the vertical wires. A 96 “tall fence has proven itself the world over: deer tend to jump over lower fences. A deer fence this tall with the Titan fixed knot creates a very strong barrier that is also very visible, which helps to minimize the impact Damage of the contained animals.
Vertical wires can be spaced between 3 “and 12”; the distance must be determined by the particular application of the fence in the area in question. The closer the vertical spacing of the wires, the stronger the deer fence. However, the fact that the vertical wires are closer together means that more steel is being used, making the fence more expensive. The 6 “vertical wire spacing is the most commonly used, providing a good balance between strength and cost effectiveness. A 3” vertical wire spacing can be used for high animal pressure areas, while a more economical 12 “spacing can be used for areas of lower pressure, such as dividing the internal pastures of deer farms.
In some cases, it may be advisable to use a double fence system; For example, the effectiveness of a perimeter fence can be greatly increased around a deer farm by installing a second woven wire deer fence 3-4 feet from the first perimeter network. This creates a barrier that deer cannot clear and that predators will find extremely difficult to overcome.
Before embarking on a deer or hunting fence project, it is important to decide which heavy duty woven wire deer fence specification will best suit your fencing needs.
