Farming without fencing is hardly imaginable. Permanent fencing demands high costs and much effort. Therefore, temporary fencing plays an important role on farms all over Africa.
In its basic form, temporary fencing consists of a few parts you use to quickly put up as a fence for a short while or as long as you wish. It has many applications, most notably in agriculture, construction and conservation.
When it comes to agriculture, it is typically used in livestock production (cattle, goats, sheep, horses, camels and even chickens).
- Farmers often use temporary fences it to contain animals for procedures such as vaccination,
- to sort them,
- for strip grazing,
- for temporary gates to close camps,
- and to keep livestock in and predators out.
The nice thing about a temporary electric fence is that you can break it down again when you don’t need it anymore or erect it elsewhere. It also works with solar panels.
In construction temporary electric fencing is used to protect pedestrians from the hazards on a site created by ongoing demolition, excavation, and construction operations. It is used as a perimeter and for access control.
In conservation, protected areas are sectioned off with temporary fencing to protect wildlife from poachers and predators, and to keep the natural flora from over-grazing.
