Elektrozäune: Die optimale Lösung für die Einzäunung aller Tierarten

Elektrozäune sind eine effektive Lösung zur Einzäunung und Abwehr verschiedener Tierarten. Sie variieren in Höhe, Drahtanzahl und Material, abhängig von ihrer Verwendung als Aussen- oder Zwischenabzäunung. Auf unserer Website finden Sie detaillierte Angaben zur optimalen Zaunhöhe und Drahtanzahl für unterschiedliche Tierarten.

Einzäunen oder Auszäunen von Tieren

Beim Einsatz von Elektrozäunen ist es wichtig zu unterscheiden, ob Tiere eingezäunt oder auszäunt werden sollen. Das Einzäunen gestaltet sich in der Regel einfacher, da sich die Tiere schnell an den Zaun gewöhnen und ihn zuverlässig respektieren. Beim Auszäunen hingegen müssen Tiere, die noch keine Erfahrung mit Elektrozäunen haben, von Anfang an einen starken Stromschlag erhalten, um den nötigen Respekt zu entwickeln. Für Abwehrzäune sind besonders schlagstarke Geräte empfehlenswert.

Fencing for cats and dogs

Cats and dogs are fenced in with electric fences that are 0.55 m to 0.85 m high and have 2 to 4 wires.

Fencing out animals

Defense against wild boars

Electric fences to repel wild boar are 0.55 m to 0.75 m high and contain 2 to 3 wires.

Defense against wolves

To protect against wolves, electric fences up to 1.20 m high are installed and fitted with 4 to 5 wires.

Defense against deer

Electric fences to ward off red deer reach heights of up to 1.50 m and have 5 wires.

Defense against brown bears

Electric fences with a height of around 1.20 m and 5 wires are intended for protection against brown bears. The distance between the lowest wire and the ground should be a maximum of 20 cm, while the distance between the wires should be 25 cm.

Defense against otters

Electric fences to repel otters reach a height of 0.40 m and are equipped with 4 wires.

Defense against herons

To protect against herons, electric fences are installed at a height of around 0.75 m and contain 2 to 3 wires. If the bank is shallow, the fence is inclined towards the water surface.

Defense against martens and raccoons

Electric fences to repel martens and raccoons consist of at least 2 wires at a short distance apart, which are connected alternately to the + and - poles of the device.

Defense against rabbits

To protect against hares and rabbits, electric fences are recommended at a height of around 0.55 m and contain 3 wires. To prevent rabbits from undermining the fence, an earthed wire can be laid directly on the ground under the fence. The fence should be slightly inclined towards the animal side. The recommended electric fence net is the crop protection net with a height of 0.65 m and a small mesh size.
