Lightweight Knotted Sheep Fence Mesh (Pack of 5)

The 6-roll pack offers a great value for enclosing large livestock areas. Buying in bulk gives you enough fencing for your agricultural projects at a more affordable price. You'll also save on shipping costs and can streamline your purchase of accessories like wooden posts and staples needed for installation.

Start by setting wooden fence posts every 6 to 7 feet, making sure they're anchored securely in the ground. Unroll the mesh fence along your fence line and attach it to each post using staples. Use tension wire at the top and bottom to keep the mesh tight, and add tensioners to maintain consistent tension and ensure your livestock enclosure stays secure.

The fence height you need depends on the type of animal you're keeping. For sheep and lambs, 3 feet is usually enough. Goats require at least 5 feet to prevent them from jumping over. For cattle and horses, choose a height between 4 and 6.5 feet, depending on their size and temperament.

Sheep fencing is highly adaptable to different ground conditions thanks to its natural flexibility. Whether your land is flat, sloped, or uneven, this woven wire fence conforms to the landscape without creating weak spots. Its flexibility makes it easy to install even on irregular surfaces where rigid fencing may not be practical, making it a versatile choice for livestock enclosures.

Galvanized sheep fencing typically lasts 15 to 20 years, depending on the local climate. The galvanization process helps protect the steel wire from rust and weather, ensuring long-term durability. Reinforced knots add extra strength and help extend the fence’s lifespan, making this type of fencing a reliable choice for long-term agricultural use.

Sheep fencing is made with knotted wire and features graduated mesh openings. Unlike welded wire fencing, which has uniform mesh welded at each intersection, sheep fencing uses spiral knots that stay firmly in place and rectangular openings that are smaller at the bottom and larger higher up. This design helps safely contain animals of different sizes within the same enclosure. Welded wire fencing is more rigid but less flexible, making it harder to install on uneven ground. Sheep fencing, on the other hand, adapts easily to sloped or irregular terrain thanks to its natural flexibility. For livestock enclosures on agricultural land, knotted wire fencing is the preferred choice among professionals.
