High tensile Electric fence for Elk

Elk fences should be fitted by Professional fence installer. Deer can jump high, and are flight animals. FenceFast specialises in game fences, and offers solutions that are both proven and safe. These fences are also used for protecting crops, such as wheat or barley, vineyards, or field of vegetables. .

Our advice
Looking for a professional permanent enclosure for deer or to protect your crops against Elk? Then use High Tensile.

  • Longest lasting most durable 
  • A longer distance between posts is possible, which means you need less material. Can be stretched tightly with tensioners and tension springs
  • Use tension springs to deal with temperature fluctuations (shrinkage and expansion)

Fence Configurations - Elk

Elk can do major damage to hay stack yards, crops or newly planted plants, stripping them down to the ground. A lower cost alternative to a physical barrier fence is to erect an electric fence.  A 15-wire electric fence has proven effective for high pressure Elk control. ​
