The Basics of High Game Fence Material

Learn the basics of high-game fence material such as fixed-knot fencing, fence patterns, support bracing, and more.

This is a high-game fence that happens to be black. The black is done in the process when it's galvanized. So it's through and through into the finish.

It's eight feet tall and referred to as 2096-6. The 20 means that there are 20 horizontal wires. The 96 means it is 96 inches tall overall and the six means that there is a six-inch spacing between the vertical stay wires.

This is a high tensile mesh. These cramps are done in the mesh and those are forming a spring action that's constantly pulling to keep the mesh taught. This mesh is joined at every intersection with a fixed knot. It's a very, very strong way of attaching the intersections.

We do have a strand of barbed wire at the top. Is about five inches above the top. That's to deter climbing and jumping.

Talking about the black fence, a lot of people opt for this because, you know, the color black absorbs light and doesn't reflect light. And so unlike galvanization, which is typical for a fence like this. That reflects all of the light, this fence absorbs it. And you may be able to see looking back when you have a cover behind you, this fence kind of goes away so it doesn't stand out as much. And that's appealing to some people. It does come at an extra cost, because of the wires.

The T posts and pipe posts are powder coated. It's also a very long-lasting finish. We have an installation that was done more than 20 years ago and we've gone to take a look at the powder coat, the T post, and the wire and it's a remarkably good shape for 20 years of aging anyway.

One more thing to point out. You can see behind us where hogs have been rooting up the ground and obviously the fence was a good barrier for them. 100%. This fence keeps hogs out.
