Farms & Smallholdings Fencing & Hardware

Strong, dependable fencing is essential for the smooth running of any farm or smallholding. At Zoar’s Ark, our Fencing & Hardware collection includes a complete range of products to help you install, repair and maintain effective boundaries for livestock, crops and property. With quality options from trusted brands like CountryUF and Hilka, you’ll find everything you need to create a safe and secure environment.

Electric Fencing Solutions

Electric fencing is a reliable and flexible way to manage livestock and protect paddocks. Our range of energisers, including dual-powered and mains models, ensures consistent current flow to suit various fence lengths and animal types. CountryUF energisers are known for their durability and efficiency, offering simple installation for both permanent and temporary setups.

Fence Wire, Tape and Rope

The choice of wire or tape depends on your livestock and fencing layout. Galvanised wire offers strength and longevity for cattle and sheep enclosures, while polywire and paddock tape provide visibility and safety for horses. Available in different thicknesses and lengths, these options ensure secure containment while remaining easy to tension and maintain.

Posts, Insulators and Accessories

Fence posts and insulators are the foundation of a good fencing system. Options like metal pigtail and stirrup posts offer flexibility for rotational grazing or temporary sections. Screw-in and nail-on insulators keep lines stable and insulated, preventing short circuits and maintaining a consistent current throughout the system.

Fencing Tools and Hardware

Efficient installation and maintenance rely on quality tools. Our selection of Hilka fencing pliers, cutters, hammers and post diggers makes light work of building and repairing fences. Whether you’re driving posts, tightening wire or cutting metal, each tool is designed for strength, comfort and control.

Poultry Netting and Gate Kits

For smaller livestock such as poultry, secure netting provides protection from predators while maintaining freedom of movement. We also stock gate kits and handles to provide safe access points within your fencing, allowing easy movement between paddocks or enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fencing is best for horses?

Electric paddock tape or rope is ideal for horses as it’s visible, safe and easy to adjust for different paddock layouts.

How do I choose the right energiser?

Select an energiser based on your fence length and animal type. Larger herds or longer fences require higher joule ratings for consistent performance.

Can I use polywire for all livestock?

Polywire works well for horses and smaller paddocks but may not be strong enough for cattle or large enclosures. Galvanised wire is better for heavy-duty fencing.

How often should I check my fencing?

Inspect weekly for tension, damage or vegetation contact, especially in electric systems, to maintain consistent performance and safety.
