Components Needed for Portable Electric Fencing in Kenya

To set up a reliable portable fence system for cattle, sheep, goats, or horses, you’ll need the following:

1. Portable Electric Fence Energizer

This is the power source of your fence. It sends electric pulses through the wire. Choose between:

  • Battery-powered energizers

  • Solar-powered energizers (ideal for remote farms)

  • Dual (mains + solar) energizers for flexible use

Popular models include the JVA SV5 and SV10, perfect for small to large paddocks in Kenya.

2. Electric Fence Wire or Politape

  • Poliwires: Lightweight and easy to spool; ideal for short-term or rotational setups.

  • Politapes: Highly visible, strong, and ideal for horse enclosures or areas requiring visual deterrence.

3. Fence Posts

Use lightweight plastic or fiberglass posts with pre-molded slots for tape or wire. These are:

  • Easy to install and remove

  • Weather-resistant

  • Safe for animals

4. Insulators

Insulators keep the wire from grounding out by preventing contact with the posts. Made from high-quality plastic or ceramic, they’re essential for maintaining fence effectiveness.

5. Grounding System

Your fence will need one or more ground rods driven into the soil to complete the electric circuit. A poor grounding system reduces fence performance, so don’t skip this step.


How Does a Portable Electric Fence Work?

The energizer delivers short, sharp electric pulses through the conductor wire or tape. When an animal touches the wire, the pulse passes through it and into the ground. The ground rod then returns the energy to the energizer—completing the circuit and giving the animal a brief but memorable shock.

This teaches livestock to respect the boundary without causing harm.
