Inadequate planning
A frequent mistake when building a pasture fence is inadequate planning. Before you start building, you should precisely determine the course of the fence, calculate the required materials and ensure that all the necessary tools are available. Also consider natural obstacles and the topography of the site.
False material selection
The selection of the wrong materials can affect the effectiveness and durability of your pasture fence. Choose for high -quality materials that are suitable for the specific conditions of your pasture and the type of animals to be kept. Pay particular attention to the quality of the Zaunde wire, Isolator and post.
Tips for selection of materials:
- Use galvanized wire or special grazing rod for a longer shelf life.
- Choose posts made of durable material, such as impregnated wood or metal.
- Pay attention to high -quality insulators to avoid performance losses.
Unsuitable post distances
Another common mistake is the choice of unsuitable post distances. Too long distances can lead to the fence hanging through and loses effectiveness, while tightness is unnecessarily raising the costs. The optimal distances depend on the type of fence, the terrain and the animal species.
Defective grounding
In the case of electrical pasture fences, correct grounding is crucial for functionality. Inadequate grounding is one of the most common mistakes and can lead to the fence losing its deterrent effect. Make sure that the earthen rods are installed correctly and connected to the fence.
Neglect of maintenance
The regular maintenance of your pasture fence is crucial to ensure its effectiveness and durability. Check the condition of the fence regularly, tighten and replace damaged parts immediately. Neglection of maintenance can lead to serious security risks.
By avoiding these errors, you can build a safe and effective pasture fence that protects your animals and supports their agricultural activities. Visit our online shop to find high-quality materials and tools for building up your pasture fence.
