Fencing for wild boar

Wild boar anti-intrusion fence

Wild boar anti-intrusion fences

One of the most common applications for our fences is wild boar anti-intrusion.

Why build an anti-intrusion fence for wild boars? To:

  • Protect crops such as vineyards, corn, hazelnut groves, and fruit trees.
  • Prevent digging in parks, Golf Clubs, and flower beds.
  • Prevent rummaging in trash cans and destroying vegetable plots and gardens.

Huge destroyers of vegetable gardens, cornfields, vineyards, and other crops, they can be contained without problems by our fences. The fence can be positioned both in open fields and in wooded areas.

You can use the Ref. 12/2 and Ref. 12/3 post/insulators; in the corners, a stronger post like Ref. 47 with two Ref. 9V insulators is required. By attaching our 12-volt or 220-volt energizers, the game is won—they won't come near anymore. You'll see, they are very smart and will walk along the entire outside of the fence to find a passage.

You will be able to pass any obstacle, both uphill and downhill, by increasing the number of wooden posts or 12/2 posts to insert into the ground. In case of depressions, a little trick: insert the 12/2 post into a concrete block (with two holes) and cement it.

Obviously, the post/insulators must be oriented with the lowest tape facing the side where the animals to be repelled are located.

Maintenance under the fences is recommended monthly during May, June, July, and late August. There are two options: you can use our electrified mulching fabric which allows for excellent electrical potential and thus helps repel the wild boar. Another system: a string trimmer or flame weeding.

Our fences are powered by the Ref. E7 energizer, powered by an R31 battery and recharged by the Ref. PS1 solar panel. The installation of the solar panels must be done by positioning the panel at 45° facing south. Two or three heights of 13 or 20 mm tape are suitable for these animals; posts can be placed every 4 or 5 meters.

Here are the STARTER KITS, everything you need to fence a perimeter of 125 m or 250 m.

Starter kit

Here is how to compose fences for wild boars

  • Two rows (heights) with 13mm Shockproof Security tape Ref. B1.
  • Special insulator post every 4m Ref. 12/2.
  • Some insulators Ref. 9V for wooden posts.
  • Whenever there is a corner or a curve: Ref. 45V.
  • Whenever 100m is exceeded on a wooden post: Ref. 35V or Ref. 9F.
  • Slow-discharge battery energizer Ref. E7 + Battery Ref. 31 with cable Ref. 59L.
  • Each fence can include gates to be mounted with Ref. 35V (contact holder tensioners to better tension the tape) and Handle Ref. 11B.
  • The system can be "open"; the ring doesn't need to be closed electrically, but there is a Ref. 35V at the start and the end.
  • Electrical contact between tapes in the fence is guaranteed by the Ref. 59H cable connecting the buckles of the Ref. 35V tensioner.

Why the Shockproof Security fence and not others

Premise: After years of different systems and applications, we offer the system that our experience has determined to be the best for containing wild animals, especially wild boars, so much so that the system has over 5 patents (in posts Ref. 12/2, insulators Ref. 9N, energizer Ref. E7, tensioners Ref. 35V, and the Shockproof Electrified Security tape Ref. B/M1).

Read: Why our fences?

Operating principle: power and ethology. Studies on wild boars' sensitivity levels have shown that to make them retreat or change course, there must be at least 3,000 - 4,000 Volts on the line.

Example of effectiveness

Naturally, achieving containment requires considering various factors: the visibility of the barrier, its resistance, the transmissibility of the electrical impulse, the insulation of the circuit, and a multi-height system (at least two). Other crucial parameters are the solidity of the installation, support, and minimal maintenance. Our system meets all these needs and uses a special tape that is highly visible to animals.

Studies have shown that while a sheep or goat tests the electrical impulse twice in 15 hours, for wild boars the interval reaches up to two days. A highly visible obstacle will quickly become an impassable passage, causing herds to change direction.

With around 180 installations, we've noticed that females with offspring are the most problematic. If running, they bowl over all obstacles. For better containment, the fence must be placed in a clear area at least a meter or a meter and a half from the forest or wooded area.

The resistance of the tape and the flexibility of the system (like the offset Ref. 12/2 posts) help cushion the blow from the charge. It's not just force and power, but intelligence and experience to control the wild boar.

Kits and Components

Here are some application examples

Here is an example of a fence protecting a golf club: the use of tape Ref. B1 and posts Ref. 12/2 solves the problem. If well-tensioned, it is a great deterrent but also an aesthetic asset!

Here is an application on the Canadian hills to defend an orchard. Every aspect was planned down to the smallest detail. Where the slope changes and at the corners, a wooden post Ref. 47P and tensioners Ref. 35V or Ref. 9F are used. Note the appropriate space left between the orchard and the fence.

Containing wild boars to protect crops. Repopulation has caused significant problems, here is how they were solved at the Abruzzo National Park! Corners secured and insulators mounted with tensioners. Posts Ref 12/3 placed at 4/5m distances, tape laid, and connections finalized.

And here is how to connect the special wild animal energizer Ref. E7 with its 150 cm long cable Ref. 59L. Its galvanized iron container protects it from the elements. Here is where the long-life battery, Ref. 31, is housed. The result is optimal and functional.

Here is one last trick!

An electrified gate stops wild boars! But not cars!

Our tape is so resistant that if multiple strips are placed using the special Road Gate Kit, no animal will pass through that gap out of fear of the current. If well-placed (without stones or anything that could damage it), it lasts about 2 years. Obviously, we have to drive over it at walking pace.

With the Ref. E4 energizer placed so it can be turned on and off... everything is easier!
