Woven wire fencing is durable and lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on local conditions. How your livestock and local wildlife interact with the fence can impact its useful lifespan. Wood posts will need repair or replacement long before you have to worry about replacing the woven wire fencing itself.

Good preparation before installing a wire fence prevents weeds and bushes from becoming a problem later. Create a clear zone free of all vegetation, extending one to two feet on either side of the fence. If possible, use gravel or concrete to discourage plant growth near the fence. Maintain the clear zone manually or through the use of herbicides to prevent encroachment.

Most properly installed wire fences for livestock, including hog wire fences and woven wire fences, require minimal maintenance and are expected to last 25 to 50 years on average. Priming and painting wood components like posts can help prevent rot. Regularly inspect all wiring for signs of damage, rust, or structural issues. You can usually repair or replace damaged components without needing to install a brand-new wire fence.
