Hinge Joint Knot Fence for Australian Farm
Farm fence consists of smooth horizontal (line) wires held apart by vertical (stay) wires. Spacing between line wires may vary from 1 1/2 inches at the bottom for small animals to 9 inches at the top for large animals. Wire spacing generally increases with fence height.
Farm fence is available in numerous combinations of wire sizes and spacings, number of line wires, and heights. Most fences range in height from 26" to 48", longest can reach 79" inches. Stay wires should be spaced 6 inches apart for small animals and 12 inches apart for large animals.
The standard design numbers listed on the manufacturer's tag (attached to fence rolls) describe the fence. For example, a design number of "1047-12-11" indicates that the fence has ten line wires and is 47 inches high, has 12 inches of spacing between stay wires, and has 11-gauge filler wires (wires between the top and bottom line wires).
Design numbers assigned to woven wire fences (e.g. "1047 – 12 – 11") indicate the number of line wires (10), height (47 in), stay wire spacing (12 in), and filler wire size (11 gauge).
