"Overall the install was okay at best. The quality of materials was very poor even though we paid for cedar . They are way overpriced and don't stand by there products/work. I’ve attached photos of the posts visible on the outside of the concrete…. It’s safe to say we will not use them in the future, nor would we recommend their services. We went with SK because most of the fences in town were installed by your company and expected more based on their reputation but I think because we were are not in the richest area we didn't get the same kind of care/quality of work. When in reality what we got was a shoddy fence job with warped boards, bent fence posts, and a gate that was improperly installed - all by a crew that spent more time utilizing their smoke breaks & breaks than they did working on our fence. I’m generally not one to complain, even when I want to, but it is ridiculous that they would claim that our gate falling over was caused by storm damage when there was visible wood rot visible at the bottom of the broken posts and none of the rest of the fence has fallen over that is out in the open more. We do realize that it has been 4 years since installation, but there is no way that it should have rotted that fast and if it had been installed properly, it wouldn’t have at all. It is obvious that SK does not stand by their products/work. Ultimately, we decided to do the work ourselves, because $800 is just crazy for replacing two posts that was their fault they rotted when the materials cost us less than $100. The posts were obviously rotted, and while digging them up we learned the reason the posts failed was because they were partially installed outside of the concrete. This is deeply concerning and it makes me wonder how many of our other posts were installed incorrectly…. Hopefully you don't have this issue but we would strongly recommend someone else. We wouldn't even been writing this if they would have just stood by the work they did and fixed the mistake they made. Heck if the whole fence blew down and it was real wind damage I wouldn't even blame them for say sorry that is wind damage there is nothing we can do about it."

"We have used Brook's Creek on two different fencing jobs. The first was an aluminum fence for our dog 40' x 100' in the back. The second was a cedar fence down the property line. The crew chief was the same on both jobs and he, as well as the workers, were very professional as well as working fast and continuously. They cleaned up after the job and helped with the dirt removed from the post holes. I highly recommend this company! I have recommended this company to 3 of the neighbors in our addition and all there have purchased fencing from them."

With routine upkeep, you can count on an electric fence to last 20 years or more. Livestock learn to avoid the shock quickly, but harsh weather, predator activity, and neglected maintenance can shorten that lifespan. Inspect posts, wires, and chargers regularly and promptly address any necessary repairs to maintain your fence in optimal condition.
Yes—if you need a quick, budget-friendly barrier, an electric fence is often worth the investment. Electric fences use fewer materials than wood or chain link, go up faster, and are easy to expand. Just remember: the system depends on steady power and regular checks, so factor those ongoing costs into your decision.
Electric fences do have limits. They need a constant power source, can injure people or animals if installed incorrectly, and require consistent training. Some animals, such as sheep, goats, and some dogs, take more coaching than cattle. Severe weather or outages can also knock the system offline, so keep a backup plan ready.
Electric fences require power to operate and depend on a constant electrical supply for proper function. They are powered by either a battery or an electrical outlet. A stable power source is essential because weather extremes or outages can interrupt the operation of the fence, making regular testing and maintenance vital to ensure continuous containment.
Electric fences use a defined amount of power, drawing between four and 25 watts from a standard electrical source. This low power consumption makes the system extremely energy efficient, with operating costs remaining below $5 per month for an average-sized yard. The efficient usage ensures that the fence delivers a reliable shock without imposing high energy expenses.
