Anti-boar Fences: Electric Fences and Protection Equipment

Effectively protect your garden, vegetable patch, meadow, field, or crop against boars with our selection of anti-boar fences and electric fencing equipment specially adapted for wildlife.

Powerful, robust, and particularly determined when searching for food, the boar requires a different setup than a standard electric fence. The power of the energizer, the conductivity of the wires, the position and number of conductors, the height of the posts, and the quality of the grounding are all elements that contribute to the effectiveness of the protection.

Terwagne-Élevage has selected fencing equipment for boars intended for both individuals wishing to protect their garden or vegetable patch and farmers and professionals needing to secure crops and large plots.

Why install an electric anti-boar fence?

The passage of boars can cause significant damage in a very short time. By rooting and turning over the soil in search of food, they can damage a lawn, ravage a vegetable patch, harm a meadow, or destroy part of a crop.

The electric anti-boar fence allows for creating a deterrent barrier around the area to be protected.

When a boar touches an electrified conductor while in contact with the ground, the electric impulse creates a deterrent effect. Thus, the goal is not only to create a physical obstacle: the electric fence also teaches the animal to avoid the protected area.

This solution can be used to protect:

• gardens and lawns;
• vegetable patches;
• orchards;
• meadows;
• fields;
• agricultural crops;
• plantations;
• plots regularly frequented by wildlife.

A fence specially designed to withstand boars

Not all electric fencing systems meet the same needs. An installation intended for domestic animals should not automatically be considered as sufficiently adapted to wildlife protection.

The boar is a powerful and robust animal. To achieve a real deterrent effect, it is particularly important to have a properly sized installation and to maintain sufficient voltage throughout the fence.

This is why an effective anti-boar fence relies on several complementary elements.

A sufficiently powerful energizer

The anti-boar fence energizer is the heart of the installation.

The required power depends particularly on the length of the fence, the number of conductors, the vegetation likely to touch the wires, the type of installation, and the terrain conditions.

For installations requiring high power, especially against large wildlife, powerful energizers of several joules allow maintaining an effective impulse on the fence. For some significant anti-boar installations, devices delivering around 4 to 8 joules may be indicated.

Terwagne offers different solutions according to terrain constraints:

mains-powered energizer, battery-powered energizer, or solar-powered energizer.

The choice should not only be based on the theoretical length announced for the device: power, vegetation, grounding quality, and the actual configuration of the fence should also be considered.

Posts adapted to boar fences

The height and arrangement of the conductors are particularly important.

Terwagne offers specific partitioning posts for anti-boar fences of 70 cm with 4 wire passages. They allow placing multiple conductors at different heights to create a barrier adapted to boar behavior.

The positioning of a conductor sufficiently close to the ground is particularly important: The wild boar frequently explores its environment with its snout and may try to go under an obstacle. A fence made up of several electrified lines thus limits the possibilities of passing under or between the wires. Wires and Electric Cords with High Conductivity A fence is only truly effective if the electric impulse is correctly carried along its entire length. For an anti-wild boar installation, it is important to select a wire, cord, or electric tape with good conductivity, especially when the perimeter to be protected is large. Terwagne notably offers high-conductivity blue electric cords suitable for both large and small game. Why use blue for an anti-wild boar fence? The color of the conductor can enhance the visibility of the fence and help the animal identify it as an obstacle. Blue conductors are thus an interesting solution for installations intended for game. Terwagne notably offers blue electric cords and tapes that combine visibility, resistance, and conductivity. However, color alone obviously does not determine the effectiveness of a fence: the quality of the conductor, the actual tension present on the line, and the power of the installation remain essential. Electric Netting or Fencing with Wires: Which Solution Against Wild Boars? There are mainly two ways to create an electric fence against wild boars. The Anti-Wild Boar Electric Netting The electrifiable anti-wild boar netting is particularly interesting when looking for a quick-to-install and easily movable solution. Terwagne notably offers an anti-wild boar net of 75 cm in height and 50 meters in length, equipped with several horizontal conductors. This solution is particularly suitable for: - Quickly protecting a vegetable garden; - Surrounding a garden; - Temporarily securing a plantation; - Protecting a small crop; - Regularly modifying the protected area. The net offers the advantage of combining in one equipment the conductors and their support stakes. The Anti-Wild Boar Fence with Stakes and Electric Wires For a customized installation or to protect a large perimeter, it is possible to create a fence composed separately of: stakes + conductors + insulators + energizer + grounding system + connection accessories. This configuration allows the fence to be precisely adapted to the length of the terrain, the relief, the pressure level exerted by the game, and whether the installation is permanent or temporary. It is particularly an interesting solution for farmers, agricultural operations, meadows, and large crops. Protecting Your Garden and Vegetable Garden Against Wild Boars Seeing a completely overturned lawn or finding your vegetable garden ravaged in the morning is unfortunately a situation many individuals living near areas frequented by wild boars know. An electric anti-wild boar fence for the garden allows you to protect a targeted area without necessarily installing a heavy permanent fence over the entire property. For an individual, the system can notably be used around: - a garden; - a vegetable garden; - a lawn; - an orchard; - a compost; - a small plantation; - a property exposed to regular wild boar passages. Our Garden sub-category brings together solutions that make it easier to create anti-wild boar protection suited to small and medium-sized areas. Protecting Agricultural Crops Against Wild Boar Damage For a farmer, the consequences of a wild boar intrusion can be much more significant. The animals can cross a plot, flatten or consume certain crops, and overturn the soil. Repeated presence can thus lead to losses and complicate the operation's work. An electric anti-wild boar fence for crops must be designed with professional constraints in mind: significant length, reliability, conductivity over long distances, equipment resistance, vegetation, and ease of control and maintenance. The Cultures sub-category therefore primarily gathers equipment intended for agricultural installations: - Powerful energizers;

anti-boar stakes; high conductivity wires and cords; anti-boar electric nets; grounding equipment; insulators; fittings and connectors; accessories necessary for the creation and maintenance of an efficient fence.

How to install an effective electric fence against boars?

A good anti-boar fence does not rely solely on the advertised power of the energizer. The entire installation must function correctly.

1. Choose a suitable energizer

The power should be determined based on the length of the fence, the number of conductors, the vegetation, and the conditions of use.

2. Install multiple conductors

Multiple electrical lines placed at different heights help create a barrier adapted to the size of the boar and reduce the chances of passage.

3. Pay particular attention to grounding

A good grounding is essential for the operation of an electric fence. A powerful energizer combined with poor grounding can lose a significant portion of its effectiveness.

4. Use efficient conductors

On large installations, low electrical resistance and good conductivity help limit voltage losses along the length of the fence.

5. Regularly check the voltage

A fence tester allows you to verify that the installation maintains a sufficient voltage level, even in areas far from the energizer.

6. Maintain the vegetation

Weeds, branches, and other vegetation in contact with conductors can cause losses. The surroundings of the fence must therefore be monitored and maintained regularly.

What equipment is needed to create an anti-boar fence?

Depending on your installation, you may need:

Fence energizer
Mains, battery, or solar depending on the location and desired power.

Anti-boar fence stakes
To position the conductors at the appropriate heights.

Wire, cord, or electric tape
With conductivity suitable for the length of the installation.

Anti-boar electric net
A practical alternative when you're looking for a complete and mobile solution.

Ground stakes
Essential for creating good grounding for the energizer.

Insulators
To hold the conductors without causing current leakage.

Connectors and connecting cables
To ensure electrical continuity between the different parts of the installation.

Fence tester
To check the proper operation and voltage of the line.
