What is a Field Fence Used For?

A field fence is primarily used to establish a large perimeter for your livestock to roam within bounds. These fences should be durable and strong enough to withstand the weight of larger animals like cattle or hogs. Typically, galvanized steel fences provide the strength needed for these tasks.

Field Fences Vs. Garden Fences

While field fences keep larger animals in (or out of) designated areas, garden fences serve multiple purposes, including defining garden boundaries, protecting plants and ensuring the safety of smaller animals.

In many cases, a plastic garden fence can effectively deter smaller critters and establish a clear border. But for larger animals like elk or deer, a steel garden fence offers better protection than plastic fencing. Sturdier and more durable, a steel garden fence helps deter larger animals from reaching your fruit trees and other vegetation.

What to Look for in a Garden Fence

The best fence for your needs will depend on the purpose of securing your outdoor space. Here are some key factors to consider before making your final decision:

• Sturdiness: A steel garden fence is a strong choice for corralling cattle, hogs and other animals. Make sure you have the necessary wood stakes, fence posts and other building supplies.
• Material: Choose materials based on purpose and outdoor conditions. Look for galvanized steel, polyethylene or polypropylene for agricultural and garden fences.
• Wind and UV resistance: Consider the weather conditions your fence will face. Ace offers fences designed to slow wind, create drifts for snow storage and withstand prolonged sun exposure. A vinyl garden fence could be ideal for areas with high sun exposure.
• Weight: Lightweight fence materials come in rolls, making them easy to install, move and restore as needed.
• Color: Fencing for gardens and fields is available in various colors such as black, green, silver, red and orange for warning barriers. If you're looking for a small garden fence to create a decorative boundary around flower beds, color and design will be important.

What Wire Gauge Do I Need?

Understanding wire gauge can help you achieve your DIY goals. Simply put, the higher the gauge number, the thinner the wire. For keeping small animals out of your garden or securing dogs and chickens with chicken wire fence, higher gauge wire is suitable. For a field fence to contain larger livestock, smaller gauge (thicker) wire is more effective and sturdier.
