"Steve showed up first to give us a quote. We did ask for additional quotes from other businesses and decided to go with him, as his quote listed every detail about the work. The price of the project was very competitive with other estimates. Since we weren't sure what we really needed, Steve provided excellent guidance. He and his crew went the extra mile to make sure we were happy and satisfied with the final product. I would recommend Fancing Solutions to anyone because I am confident they will do a good job."

Electronic pet fence installations FAQs

Most property owners can expect a well-maintained electric fence to have a life expectancy of at least 20 years. Livestock typically learns quickly to avoid contact with an electric fence but encounters with nearby predators and wildlife can vary. Harsh weather can add to wear and tear, reducing the lifespan of an electric fence.

For many property owners, an electric fence is worth it because it requires fewer materials and is comparatively easier to install than other types of fencing. Solid wood or chain link fences cost more and often require more upkeep. For property owners eager for a quick, budget-friendly solution, an electric fence may be a viable option.

Like all other types of infrastructure, electric fences have weaknesses. They are hazardous to people and animals if not installed and maintained properly, possibly causing injury or even death in some cases. Electric fences require constant power, so power outages or interruptions can effectively disable them. Lightning strikes and electromagnetic interference can also be causes of concern.
