Protecting your animals effectively against wolves

In order to repel wolves, the design requirements for electric fencing are considerably higher than for keeping animals such as sheep and cattle inside the fence.

The first electric shock a wolf feels at the fence should immediately have the maximum effect. This way, the wolf will remember this and will try to avoid your fence after this.

To complement your fence, it is advised to additionally place flashing lights and signal or repellent tape on your fence. This makes the fence stand out both acoustically and optically and will make it stand out more quickly to wolves. 

To ensure the deterrent effect of the fence, the following are important: the power of the energiser, the earthing of the energiser and the conductivity of the fence wires. These are crucial for the intensity of the electric shock delivered. 

Device power:

A minimum of 2 joules of impulse energy should be available per kilometre of fence. For short fences, this should be at least 1 joule. When there is a lot of vegetation touching the fence, it is wise to get a device with more impulse energy. 

Earthing:

One earth stake of 1 metre per 1 joule of the energiser. You can check the earthing by measuring the earth voltage. The lower it is, the better. When the fence is switched on, additional earthing pins should be installed if the earth voltage is >500 volts.

Conductivity of the fence wires:

The wires should have a conductive resistance of less than 0.25 ohm/m. When your fence is long and with vegetation, it should be less than 0.1 ohm/m.

At each point of your fence, the voltage should be at least 4000 volts (and in dry conditions, such as dry sandy soil 5000 volts). You can check this with one of our fence testers.
