At Fenken Fence & Supply, we understand that installing a solar-powered electric elephant fence is a major investment in protecting property, crops, and communities from wildlife intrusion. But like all infrastructure, even the strongest fences need regular attention to maintain their effectiveness.
Every Fence Needs Maintenance
Whether newly installed or in use for several years, every electric fence requires routine maintenance to operate at its best. Without it, small issues like vegetation touch, wire tension loss, or battery drain can compromise performance, leaving your property vulnerable.
Special Repairs for Older Fences (10+ Years)
Fences that have been in place for over a decade often need comprehensive repairs to restore their integrity and function. Depending on their condition, we may carry out:
- Replacement of rotten or broken posts
- Upgrading or replacement of weak accessories such as strainers, insulators, and connectors
- Replacement of rusty or broken wires
- Realignment of the fence line affected by soil erosion, flooding, or other environmental factors
- Upgrading energizers to improve shock delivery and overall efficiency
These repairs not only restore performance but also extend the lifespan of the fence and reduce future breakdowns.
What Determines a Fence’s Lifespan?
Several factors influence how long an electric elephant fence will last:
- Quality of materials used during installation
- Skill of the installation team
- Adherence to best practices, including proper grounding, correct tensioning, and weatherproofing
Regular inspection and servicing
At Fenken Fence & Supply, we install and maintain fences with these factors in mind to ensure durability and long-term protection.
