Heavy-Duty Knotted Sheep Fence

This agricultural fence is made from galvanized wires that are knotted together, featuring graduated mesh openings—tighter at the bottom to prevent smaller animals from passing through, and wider at the top. Its unique design helps absorb repeated pressure from livestock while providing reliable protection against predators. Available in various heights to suit your needs, this knotted sheep fence is well-suited for sheep, goats, and other farm animals.

The knotted sheep fence stands out for its construction tailored to the needs of sheep farming. Built from strong galvanized wire, it features graduated mesh sizes for optimal security. The tighter lower mesh keeps young animals and predators out, while the knotted structure offers flexibility to absorb animal impact, helping extend the life of your fence. Wire thickness varies by section: edge wires are thicker to ensure maximum tension resistance.

How to install sheep fencing:

Installing this agricultural fence is straightforward using posts and staples. Bracing posts at the corners add stability, especially on sloped or windy ground.

How to properly tension sheep fencing:

To tension the fence, insert a tension bar through the end mesh about one meter from the last post, then use a fence puller to gradually tighten the entire roll.

Recommended fence height for sheep:

For sheep, a fence height of 1.2 meters (about 4 feet) is ideal. This height works well for adult sheep, which are not strong jumpers compared to goats or deer.
Lambs and ewes can be contained with fencing between 90 cm and 1 meter (about 3 to 3.3 feet). Larger breeds, such as Charollais sheep, may require a 1.2-meter fence to prevent escapes. This height also maintains good visibility while keeping your animals secure.
Consider your terrain: for sloped ground descending outward, choose at least 1.2 meters. The horizontal wires in knotted fencing provide enough strength at this height to withstand pressure from the flock without deforming.

Sheep fence pricing:

Prices for knotted wire fencing mainly depend on the height and length you select. Expect to pay between $50 and $200 for a 50-meter roll. For a 1.2-meter-high sheep fence, the average price is typically under $100 per roll. Several factors affect cost: zinc-aluminum galvanization is 15–25% more expensive than standard galvanization but offers greater durability. Wire thickness and compliance with EN10223-5 standards also influence pricing.
