Electric fence types

There are three main types of electric fence: permanent, offset and portable.

Permanent fences

Permanent electric fences are a recommended long term fencing solution. Compared to conventional wooden fencing, Gallagher permanent power fence systems are economical, easy to install and operate, and require less maintenance, due to minimal physical contact with animals.

Permanent offset fences

Permanent offset electric fencing is used to protect existing conventional fencing or extend the life of new fences. Installing offset brackets also reduces damage to animal hides and pelts as it prevents the animals from rubbing against the non-electrified fence.
