Hi-tensile fencing is relatively new to the United States, where it is growing in popularity, though it has been used for many years in other countries to control cattle and sheep.
Hi-tensile fencing is made of smooth wire, and generally consists of four to 10 strands, depending on the animals that you're fencing in.
Hi-tensile fencing can be used in place of barbed wire; in fact, it's generally more economical than other fences and has a longer life expectancy. And, it's easier on livestock.
It's preferred by some because it doesn't lose elasticity despite livestock that lean into it and temperature changes.
Hi-tensile fences can be either electric or non-electric.
Use this guide to help you determine if hi-tensile fencing is the route you want to take.
