Sheep Fence is a woven wire fencing system designed for secure livestock containment. Made from high-tensile galvanized steel wire, it offers strong impact resistance, long-term outdoor durability, and graduated spacing to protect lambs from escaping. Available in fixed knot and hinge joint designs, the fence adapts to uneven terrain and provides excellent predator exclusion. Multiple heights and roll lengths make Sheep Fence suitable for pasture fencing, breeding areas, orchards, and ranch boundaries....
Sheep Fence is a purpose-built woven wire fencing system designed to contain sheep and goats while preventing predators from accessing grazing and breeding areas. Produced from high-tensile galvanized steel wire, this fencing delivers excellent durability, long-term outdoor performance, and resistance to impact caused by active livestock. Available in hinge-joint and fixed-knot designs, Sheep Fence is widely used in farms, grasslands, orchards, and livestock breeding facilities.
Graduated mesh openings provide tighter spacing at the bottom to protect lambs and block small predators, while larger upper openings reduce weight and material cost without affecting security.
Features
High-Strength Wire Construction
Made from high-tensile galvanized steel wire that withstands pushing, rubbing, and jumping without bending or breaking.
Corrosion-Resistant Coating
Heavy zinc or aluminum–zinc coatings protect the fence from rust, moisture, and extreme weather in outdoor environments.
Livestock-Safe Design
Smooth edges and compressed knot joints reduce the risk of injury to sheep, goats, and lambs when animals lean against the fence.
Two Knot Structures
Fixed Knot: Rigid mesh with locked intersections offering superior predator resistance.
Hinge Joint: Flexible knot pattern that absorbs force and restores shape, ideal for uneven terrain.
Graduated Mesh Pattern
Close spacing at the lower section blocks predators and prevents lambs from escaping, while wider spacing at the top increases efficiency.
Easy Installation & Maintenance
The woven mesh comes in lightweight rolls that are easy to transport and attach to T-posts, Y-posts, U-posts, or wooden posts, requiring minimal long-term upkeep.
Height Options for Different Uses
Fence height ranges from 0.6 m to 2.0 m, suitable for lambing areas, paddocks, general pasture fencing, and perimeter security.
