What is it?
A ready-to-go electrifiable mesh that
takes only minutes to install. Line posts
are already built into each roll.
Specifications
Posts are 3/4" diameter with a steel
double-spiked foot. They’re spaced
every 12.5 ft.
Mesh is 4 ft tall when installed. It’s
suspended 1 ft above the soil.
The 4 conductive horizontal strands
are 3/16" diameter. The unique plastic
verticals (every 2 ft) are designed to
break if a horse challenges the fence.
How large a fence energizer?
Most QuikFence fences need an
energizer with 0.15 to 1.5 joules. See pp.
79–101 for energizer options and details.
Are extra posts needed?
The built-in posts are adequate for
line, curve and corner posts.
But extra support at ends may be
required. For this, use small wood or
steel posts or string tied from the post
tops back to tent pegs. FiberTuff™ (p. 123)
posts are also recommended for support.

Horse QuikFence works easily to build trailer paddocks. End posts are tied (with nonconductive
strings) to the trailer for support. Make sure the posts/net do not touch the trailer.
To install
1. Untie the strings.
2. Unroll and then unfold
the mesh.
3. Step on the double spikes
to insert the posts into
the ground.
4. Stretch the fence hand-tight.
5. Attach an energizer.
