"Big job to re-grade property to allow for proper drainage and prevent flooding during the spring thaw. Also installed some underground drainage piping to help drain some hard to reache spots. After a couple spring thaws, everything is working great. I would highly recommend this business and won't hesitate to have them come back for any future work needed."

With routine upkeep, you can count on an electric fence to last 20 years or more. Livestock learn to avoid the shock quickly, but harsh weather, predator activity, and neglected maintenance can shorten that lifespan. Inspect posts, wires, and chargers regularly and promptly address any necessary repairs to maintain your fence in optimal condition.
Yes—if you need a quick, budget-friendly barrier, an electric fence is often worth the investment. Electric fences use fewer materials than wood or chain link, go up faster, and are easy to expand. Just remember: the system depends on steady power and regular checks, so factor those ongoing costs into your decision.
Electric fences do have limits. They need a constant power source, can injure people or animals if installed incorrectly, and require consistent training. Some animals, such as sheep, goats, and some dogs, take more coaching than cattle. Severe weather or outages can also knock the system offline, so keep a backup plan ready.
Electric fences require power to operate and depend on a constant electrical supply for proper function. They are powered by either a battery or an electrical outlet. A stable power source is essential because weather extremes or outages can interrupt the operation of the fence, making regular testing and maintenance vital to ensure continuous containment.
Electric fences use a defined amount of power, drawing between four and 25 watts from a standard electrical source. This low power consumption makes the system extremely energy efficient, with operating costs remaining below $5 per month for an average-sized yard. The efficient usage ensures that the fence delivers a reliable shock without imposing high energy expenses.
