Agricultural fencing is specified by the animal. A fence that holds cattle will not hold goats, and a fence that holds horses is designed largely around what happens when a horse hits it.
Livestock decides mesh size, wire spacing, height and post spacing. Horse fencing is designed for visibility and to avoid hoof entrapment; goat and sheep fencing is designed around escape.
Perimeter and cross fencing, paddocks, corrals, and dividing pasture for rotation.
Woven and welded wire, high-tensile wire, board fencing, no-climb mesh and electric systems. Corner and brace assemblies are the structural core of any wire fence.
Agricultural fencing is often treated differently from residential fencing in zoning, and boundary-fence responsibility between neighbouring landowners is set by state law in many places.
Footage dominates. Corner and brace assemblies take disproportionate time relative to the straight runs between them.
Tension and corners. A wire fence loses tension seasonally, and a failed corner brace slackens everything attached to it.
Fencing with high visibility and no aperture a hoof can pass through and catch in. No-climb 2 x 4 mesh, board fencing and coated rail are common; standard field wire with large squares is not.
The post structure at each corner and end that resists the pull of tensioned wire, usually two posts with a horizontal and a diagonal tension wire. It is the part of a wire fence that does the structural work.
Wire fences commonly run posts at 12 to 16 feet with stays between, considerably wider than residential fencing, because tensioned wire carries the load between the braced ends.
