What is Woven Wire Fence
Woven wire fence, also known as field fence or page wire, is the most traditional and popular fencing choice for sheep operations across Florida. This agricultural fencing consists of horizontal smooth wires held together by vertical wire stays using fixed or hinged knots to create a sturdy mesh pattern.
For sheep applications, the critical specification is 4-inch spacing between wires, which prevents lambs from escaping while keeping predators from penetrating the barrier. The graduated spacing design features tighter openings near the ground where young lambs might squeeze through, with wider spacing toward the top.
Woven wire provides a superior physical barrier that doesn't rely on electricity, making it ideal for perimeter fencing in Seminole County and throughout Central Florida. When properly installed with tension and strong corner posts, woven wire sheep fencing delivers 15-20 years of reliable service with minimal maintenance, even in Florida's humid climate
What is High-Tensile Electric Fence
High-tensile electric fence is a cost-effective perimeter fencing solution that uses 4-6 strands of smooth, high-carbon steel wire maintained at 250 pounds of tension and electrified with 4,000-5,000 volts. This dual-action system provides both a physical barrier and psychological deterrent for sheep and predators throughout Seminole County and Central Florida.
The 12.5-gauge smooth wires are strategically spaced closer together at ground level to prevent lambs from slipping through and deter predators like coyotes and dogs from digging underneath. High-tensile fencing requires strong corner posts with proper bracing, adequate grounding, and a reliable energizer to maintain effective voltage along the fence line. While electric fencing demands regular maintenance to keep vegetation clear and ensure proper charge, it offers significant cost savings compared to woven wire for large perimeter installations.
The high-tensile strength means the fence retains its shape even after impact, making it an economical choice for Florida sheep operations seeking reliable containment and predator protection.

What is Combination Fence
Combination fence represents the gold standard in sheep fencing, merging woven wire's physical containment with electric offset wires for enhanced predator protection. This hybrid system features a woven wire base with 4-inch spacing, topped with one or two electrified high-tensile wires positioned 7-12 inches away from the main fence on the grazing side.
An additional electrified strand placed 8-10 inches above ground level prevents predators from digging under the fence, while the offset wires at nose height discourage sheep from pushing against the woven wire and deter climbing predators. Popular throughout Seminole County and Central Florida, combination fencing offers superior longevity because animals avoid rubbing or leaning on the fence, reducing wear on the physical barrier.
While requiring higher initial investment than single-system options, combination fences deliver 15-20 years of virtually maintenance-free service, eliminate costly repairs from fence damage, and provide unmatched protection against Florida's diverse predator threats including coyotes, dogs, and foxes.
What is Electric Netting
Electric netting is a portable, electrified mesh fencing system ideal for rotational grazing and temporary paddock division in Florida sheep operations. This flexible fencing solution consists of interwoven horizontal and vertical polywire strands with built-in posts, creating a pre-assembled barrier that's quick to install and easy to relocate.
Available in heights ranging from 35 to 48 inches, electric netting provides both physical containment and electric deterrence when connected to a portable energizer maintaining sufficient voltage. The mesh design effectively contains lambs while deterring most predators including coyotes and dogs, making it suitable for temporary boundary fencing across Seminole County pastures. Electric netting excels in rotational grazing systems where sheep farmers need to frequently subdivide paddocks to optimize pasture health and forage quality.
While more expensive per foot than multi-strand wire options, netting offers unmatched convenience for strip grazing and management-intensive operations. Sheep must be trained to respect electric netting for maximum effectiveness, and the system requires regular monitoring to maintain proper charge and prevent vegetation interference.

What is Welded Wire Fence
Welded wire fence is a heavy-duty, rigid fencing option featuring perpendicular wires joined at each intersection through electric resistance welding, creating an extremely strong and durable grid pattern. This agricultural fencing comes in large rolls with uniform rectangular or square openings, typically galvanized to resist corrosion in Florida's humid climate.
For sheep containment in Seminole County and Central Florida, welded wire provides exceptional strength and longevity, making it ideal for permanent perimeter installations where maximum durability is required. The rigid construction prevents sagging and maintains consistent fence height over time, effectively containing sheep while deterring predators. Installation requires proper stretching with tractors or come-alongs and strong corner posts to support the heavy panels.
While welded wire fencing represents a significant upfront investment and can be time-consuming to repair if damaged by falling trees or equipment, properly installed systems can last 10-15 years or more with zero maintenance. The smooth surface won't snag sheep's wool, and the sturdy construction withstands pressure from animals better than lighter fencing options.
What is Rail Fence
Rail fence, featuring horizontal wood or vinyl boards attached to vertical posts, offers attractive aesthetic appeal but requires significant modifications for effective sheep containment in Seminole County and Central Florida operations.
Traditional rail fencing alone is unsuitable for sheep because the wide gaps between boards allow lambs to escape easily and provide no barrier against predators like coyotes, dogs, and foxes. To create functional sheep fencing, rails must be supplemented with either woven wire mesh covering the entire fence surface or multiple strands of electric wire installed between the boards at 4-6 inch intervals. The rail structure provides visual boundaries and physical support while the added mesh or electric components deliver actual containment and predator protection.
Wood rails require pressure-treated lumber to withstand Florida's humidity and prevent rot, while vinyl options offer low maintenance but higher costs. This hybrid approach combines the traditional appearance of post-and-rail fencing with practical livestock containment, making it suitable for properties where aesthetics matter alongside functionality, though installation and material costs significantly exceed standard agricultural fencing options.
