# Electric Fence

Electric fence uses a charged wire (or polywire/tape) to deliver a short, sharp shock that trains animals to stay away from the fence line. It's the most affordable and flexible fencing option for rotational grazing, temporary paddocks, and supplementing existing fences. Modern solar-powered chargers make it practical for remote pastures without power access. It's not a physical barrier — it's a psychological one, and it works.

$0.50 – $2.00 per linear foot installed 

10–15 years (wire and posts); charger 5–10 years
