What is electric fence?

An electric fence is a barrier powered by an electric energizer, which delivers electric pulses through the wires to deter intruders, animals, or unauthorized access. It is commonly used for security or livestock management.

How does an electric fence work?

The energizer sends a high-voltage pulse through the fence wires at regular intervals. When touched, the pulse delivers a non-lethal shock that deters the individual or animal and creates a psychological barrier.

Yes, electric fences are generally safe for humans and animals when properly installed. The electric shock is designed to be non-lethal, causing only a brief, unpleasant sensation. Safety measures such as warning signs should always be included.

Can electric fence work during blackouts?

Yes, electric fences can function during power outages if equipped with a solar-powered energizer or battery backup system, making them reliable for remote or off-grid locations.

What are the main components for an electric fence?

  • Energizer: Converts power into high-voltage pulses.
  • Wires: Conduct electricity across the fence.
  • Insulators: Prevent electricity from grounding through the posts.
  • Posts: Support the wires and structure.
  • Earth Rods: Ground the system to complete the circuit.

With proper maintenance, high-quality electric fences can last 10–15 years or more. Regular inspections and replacing worn-out components will extend their lifespan.

How much does it cost to install an electric fence in Kenya?

The cost varies depending on factors such as:

  • The type of fence (top-wall, free-standing, farm, etc.).
  • Length of the fence.
  • Power source (solar or mains).
  • Installation complexity.

Average costs can range from KSh 800 to KSh 2,500 per meter for standard installations.

Yes, electric fences are highly effective for protecting farms and homes from wildlife. They create both a physical and psychological deterrent, preventing damage to crops or livestock.
