Game and Ranch Fencing

Fences have many purposes including protecting wildlife. These types of fences are called game and ranch fencing and should be built with certain needs in mind, with the right materials and regulations. 

Materials

Game fencing should be built from the strongest of materials including wire mesh. Wire mesh is one of the popular options for game fencing as it allows for the highest protection with different options in weight, size and durability. Paired with the wires, knots are also used to further protect wildlife. This will prevent any cattle from entering or exiting an area. The knots can be placed in many ways and patterns depending on the size of the animals. 

Regulations

The style of the fence is not the only thing that should be considered when choosing ranch or game fencing. Certain states and areas have different regulations on the fence, but generally the required height is eight feet. This is because the average deer can’t jump over this height. For some animals such as sheep and bison can be kept in lower fences of five feet. It is crucial to do research on the type of wildlife you will be in contact with to determine the best height. 

Gaps

Since game fences can be anywhere in the wild, they can be in contact with streams, other gates and different ground levels. Ranch fencing is special in the way that the wire used can create gaps that allows room for other areas or objects. The gaps can be placed anywhere on the fence and can be certain sizes that will keep the wildlife in.
