About Our Six-Wire (6-Foot High-Tensile) Kits Here is a family of tall electric deer fences that do a top-class job. Versatile and strong, these low-maintenance structures are good at protecting large acreages and are designed to deal not only with ordinary soil conditions but also with parched soil and frozen ground. The basic kit employs standard high-tensile gear (strainers, springs, 14-gauge high-tensile electric fence wire, and bracing for four corners) to establish 6 runs of wire - the lowest 8 inches above the ground, the highest at 6 feet. (The height and spacing of these wires can be altered to suit customer preferences). These wires are alternately charged and grounded so that an animal which touches two (even if the ground is dry or frozen) will get a shock. STRENGTHS: Highly effective, low-maintenance, far less expensive that barrier deer fence, and far less time-consuming than barrier deer fence to install. Each kit comes with a clear, careful, and complete set of installation instructions. WEAKNESSES: High-tensile electric fences are generally more of a challenge to install than other electric fences, and short runs tend to be relatively expensive because of the need to brace the fence's corners, ends, and gates. Also, one can imagine certain suburban as opposed to farm settings where a tall high-tensile electric deer fence might seem out of place. We suggest that those who would like to compare this electric fence with various types of barrier deer fence visit our barrier deer fence website, www.invisible-deer-fence.com. COST: From $0.54 to $2.10 per foot, depending on fence length, including the charger and one gate.
