Electric Fencing Billings, MT

Site Evaluation and Planning

The first step in any successful electric fence installation is a thorough site evaluation and planning process. Our team will come to your Billings property to inspect the perimeter, taking careful measurements and notes regarding the landscape and terrain. We identify any problem areas as well as utilities, irrigation lines, or other buried elements to avoid.

You will have an opportunity to communicate your specific fencing needs, whether that be perimeter security, livestock containment, or deterring local wildlife from entering your yard. We will provide recommendations on materials, post spacing, and fence configuration based on your property layout and objectives. Our experts can create a detailed proposal with a diagram of your new electric fence installation for approval.

Accurately measuring and planning prior to starting the installation is crucial to ensuring your fence performs as intended for maximum efficiency. Our extensive experience with all types of property allows us to make informed recommendations so your new electric fence is customized to your landscape.

Installation of Posts and Wiring

Once the fence plan is finalized, our professional Billings fencing crew will get to work installing your new electric fence. We use top quality materials including ultra-strong and long-lasting fiberglass, galvanized steel, or wood posts spaced according to fence height and terrain. If needed, we can pour concrete footings for sturdy post support.

The team takes care to properly space all line posts while securely bracing end and corner posts for a rigid, even fence installation. We use insulated wire clips to prevent grounding as the wires are tightly affixed to the posts. The fence is then carefully squared and trued as the wires are installed from one end to the other.

For electric fence wire, we recommend high-tensile, aluminum-coated steel for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. The number of wires used will depend on the application, with barbed bottom wires for livestock control. We also provide high quality insulated wire and accessories to create a safe yet effective barrier.

With deep electric fence installation experience, our Billings crew pays close attention to even spacing, consistent wire tension and professional workmanship every step of the way. We take pride in our quality fencing work that keeps properties secured for decades to come.

Energizer and Grounding Installation

Once the physical fence portion is complete, we install the energizer equipment that electrifies the fence to keep intruders out. We offer both plug-in and solar electric fence chargers to suit your situation and preferences. The energizer units are designed for reliable performance and efficient energy use.

Proper grounding is imperative for an electric fence installation, so we will drive multiple galvanized ground rods spaced around the perimeter. This allows electricity to effectively and consistently pulse through the fence wires rather than dissipating into the soil. The energizer unit is then connected to the grounding system.

With the fence electrified, we will test the voltage across all wires and make any adjustments needed to ensure optimum output for secure protection. Our electricians are highly experienced with all aspects of electric fence installation and energizing. We aim for a completely sealed barrier around your property’s perimeter when powered on.

Thorough Testing and Safety Checks

Before completing any electric fence installation, our Billings team performs a series of thorough tests and safety checks. We carefully examine every post spacing, wire connection, and energizer grounding point to identify any possible issues. Voltage levels are checked across the entire fence perimeter to verify consistent output.

We also assess the new electric fence for safety, especially if children or pets are present. Any necessary wire extensions, visibility ribbons, warning signs, or other accessories are added to maximize safety while maintaining security. You will receive a full demonstration and recommendations on safely operating and maintaining your new electric fence system.

Our comprehensive testing and inspection procedures ensure your electric fence system is functioning flawlessly upon completion of the installation. Our work is not done until the fence is energized, grounded securely, and providing an impenetrable barrier customized for your property.
