Is Equestrian Electric Fencing Regulated?

Yes, equestrian electric fencing is regulated under UK agricultural standards. At Electric Fencing Installers, we comply with British Standards BS 1722-12:2006 that specify the materials and installation practices for electric fencing.

This ensures the safety and effectiveness of the fences. Our installation process also aligns with the Health and Safety Executive guidelines, focusing on mitigating the risk of electric shocks to both animals and humans.

We use high-tensile wire known for its durability, and high-capacity fence energisers suitable for larger paddocks. Our team also ensures the installation accounts for the appropriate distance from public footpaths, as required by local regulations.

We provide inspection and maintenance services to keep your fencing in optimal condition throughout the year. Reach out to us to make sure your fencing meets all the necessary compliance requirements.

How Much Does Equestrian Electric Fencing Cost?

Equestrian electric fencing typically costs between £5 to £15 per metre. The cost can vary based on factors such as the type of terrain, whether flat or undulating, as this impacts the installation process.

Additional features like gates and energisers also influence the total price; gates require specialised locking mechanisms for security, while energisers must match the fence's voltage requirements to ensure effective livestock containment. We also consider post materials, which can range from treated wood to metal, each offering different benefits and longevity.

Additionally, we adhere to industry standards such as BS EN 60335-2-76 for electric fences, which ensures safety and efficiency. We use equipment like electric post drivers and wire tensioners to streamline installation.

How Does Equestrian Electric Fencing Work?

Equestrian electric fencing works by delivering a mild electric shock to deter horses from challenging the barrier. At Electric Fencing Installers, we install energisers that produce a high-voltage pulse every one to two seconds through wires or tapes, which are typically made from materials like galvanised steel or polywire for optimal conductivity.

The shock is safe but sufficient to prevent animals from pushing against the fence.

Each installation involves setting robust fence posts at regular intervals, often made from materials such as treated wood or fibreglass, to support the system. We attach conductive wires at strategic heights to suit different horse breeds and behaviour.

The energiser is connected to a reliable power source, which can be solar-powered or mains electricity, depending on location and client preference. Our installations comply with industry standards such as BS EN 60335-2-76 to ensure both human and animal safety.

How Long Does Equestrian Electric Fencing Take to Install?

Most equestrian electric fencing installations take two to four days to complete, depending on the size of the area and complexity of the site. The duration can be influenced by factors such as terrain challenges, like uneven ground or dense vegetation, which may necessitate additional preparation.

We use durable materials like polyrope and polywire, known for their long-lasting conductivity and resilience. At Electric Fencing Installers, we ensure efficient and timely installations without compromising quality by adhering to standards such as the British Standards BS EN 60335 for electric fences.

Our experienced team handles everything from set-up, including energiser positioning, to testing the fencing system to ensure it operates correctly. We also provide guidance on choosing solar-powered options for more remote locations without access to electricity.
