Electric Fence

Shop Affordable Electric Fence

Our range of cheap electric fences covers solar-powered energisers for remote properties, polywire and poly tape fencing rolls in multiple lengths, complete kits combining energisers, tape, and insulators, and poultry netting designed for coops and small animal enclosures. Whether you are managing cattle on a large rural run, protecting a market garden from pests, or securing a backyard poultry setup, cheap electric fences give you a cost-effective perimeter without the expense of permanent post-and-rail construction. Products range from compact starter kits to higher-output units suited to large paddocks and long fence lines. For automated gate access to complement your perimeter, browse our gate openers range, or explore our solar panels collection for sustainable power to support your energiser setup.

How Electric Fencing Works as a Deterrent

The effectiveness of an electric fence comes from conditioned aversion rather than physical restraint. When an animal contacts the energised wire or tape, it receives a brief high-voltage pulse. After one or two contacts, most animals associate the fence with that sensation and avoid it even when the power is temporarily off. This conditioned response means a well-positioned electric fence can outperform a physical barrier of the same height, because the psychological deterrent persists beyond the physical contact. Vegetation that grows onto the fence wire gradually drains charge from the system and reduces effective output, so keeping the line clear maintains performance. For active perimeter monitoring to complement your fence line, our security cameras range provides property oversight. Wireless security cameras cover remote paddock and boundary monitoring without the need for cabling.

Matching Your Energiser Output to the Animal Type and Environment

Not all animals respond to electric fencing the same way. Larger livestock with thick hides require a higher-output energiser to feel a meaningful deterrent effect through the contact point, while smaller animals like poultry, rabbits, and dogs are more sensitive and need a much lower output to be deterred safely. The environment also affects system performance: dry, sandy soil conducts electricity less effectively than moist ground, which reduces the deterrent effect through the earth return circuit. Using additional earth stakes positioned in moister areas of the property improves reliability in these conditions. For backup power to supplement a solar energiser at remote sites, our battery and power supplies range covers off-grid options. For after-dark perimeter lighting around your fenced boundary, our outdoor lighting range has practical solutions.

Poultry and Small Animal Enclosure Fencing

The poultry-specific products in this range include electric chicken and duck fence netting designed for coops and small animal enclosures. Unlike standard wire or tape fencing, poultry netting forms a full mesh barrier that prevents birds from pushing through or escaping gaps in the fence line. This design suits chicken runs, duck pens, and temporary livestock enclosures where a complete mesh is more effective than individual wire strands. It also deters predators like foxes and dogs that target birds in unprotected enclosures. Pairing the netting with a lower-output solar energiser provides the deterrent effect without risk to smaller birds and poultry. For a broader range of farm supply products to complement your livestock setup, our farming accessories range is worth exploring. Our water pumps collection covers water management solutions for farms and rural properties.

Wire Dispensers, Fencing Rolls, and Getting Organised Before You Start

The wire spinner and reel dispenser in this range is a practical addition for anyone running significant lengths of fence wire or poly tape. Unrolling wire manually is slow, risks tangling, and creates uneven tension in the line. A reel winder allows you to unspool at pace while maintaining even tension, reducing setup time on longer fence runs considerably. Having spare tape or polywire rolls on hand before starting also means corners, gates, and uneven ground can be handled without stopping to reorder mid-job. The range includes tape and polywire in multiple lengths to suit everything from small enclosures to larger paddock perimeters. For storage and organisation of tools and accessories during the job, our toolbox range covers practical options. Our power tools collection covers equipment suited to site preparation and post driving.

Which electric fencing option suits your setup best, poultry netting, poly wire, or poly tape?

Choose based on what you are containing and how permanent the fence needs to be. Poultry netting suits pens and smaller enclosures. Poly wire is a simple, versatile option for general temporary runs. Poly tape and rope are easier to see from a distance, which can help in higher-traffic areas or when you are moving stock regularly.

What energiser should you choose, including solar powered models and the right kilometre range for your fence line?

Start with the length of fence you need to power and how remote the location is. Solar energisers are useful when mains power is not available, and the page shows options with different kilometre ratings. Match the energiser rating to your fence run, then confirm it suits the tape, wire, or netting you plan to use for consistent performance.

What tape or wire length and thickness should you pick to suit your paddock size and how often you will shift the fence?

Measure the fence run first, then choose a roll length that gives you enough coverage with a little spare for gates and corners. This range includes longer rolls for larger areas, plus options suited to quick temporary fencing. If you move fencing often, a lighter, easy-to-handle tape or poly wire can make setup faster and simpler.

What should you check before installation, including posts, insulators, earthing, and safe placement around people and animals?

Plan the layout before you start, including post spacing, corner strength, and where gates will sit. Use the right insulators for your tape or wire, and follow proper earthing so the system works reliably. Keep fencing away from areas where people might trip, and place warning signs where needed. When your order arrives, check parts straight away and report any issues promptly.
