Wild Boar Fence: Keep pigs out for good
Wild boar are strong, clever and persistent. Once they have found grubs, maize or potatoes somewhere, they come back and root up whole areas. An ordinary garden fence rarely stops them, because they lift it with their snouts or squeeze underneath. An electric wild boar fence targets exactly the place where pigs test a fence, low down at snout height. That way they quickly learn the effort is not worth it and move on to look elsewhere.
AKO WildHog polywire for long runs
The AKO Premium WildHog polywire with copper conductors comes on a 1000 m reel and carries current well over long distances. Use it to fence in fields, meadows or large plots of land. The blue colour is easy for wild boar to see. Run two or three strands at a low height, with the bottom one about a hand's width above the ground. Then the pig touches the current first with its sensitive snout when testing the fence and turns away.
AKO WildNet for quick protection
If you want to protect an area quickly, the AKO WildNet is a good choice. The electrifiable 50 m net with built in posts goes up in no time and can be moved just as fast. The tight mesh at the bottom stops piglets from slipping through. Especially for gardens, maize fields at the milk ripe stage or smaller meadows that are only at risk for part of the year, the net is a flexible solution you can take down again once the danger has passed.
Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to put up a wild boar fence?
Before the pigs have discovered the area. Pressure is especially high on maize from the milk ripe stage and on meadows in autumn, when wild boar are searching for grubs.
Why are the wild boar getting through despite the fence?
Often the voltage is too low because of vegetation, or the bottom strand is too high. Measure the voltage, mow under the fence and retension the polywire.
Can I combine polywire and netting?
Yes, and it makes good sense. The net protects particularly vulnerable areas, while the polywire secures long field edges.
Keep wild boar out effectively
Rooted up meadows, raided maize fields and churned up gardens are often the work of wild boar. An ordinary fence barely slows them down, because they lift it with their snouts or squeeze underneath. An electric wild boar fence targets exactly that spot. The AKO WildHog polywire with copper conductors suits long field edges, run in two or three low strands. The electrifiable AKO WildNet goes up and moves quickly and protects gardens and smaller areas. Keep the ground under the fence free of long grass, check the voltage regularly and put the fence up before the pigs discover your land. Pressure is especially high on maize from the milk ripe stage and on meadows in autumn. Fencing early saves you a lot of tedious reseeding and plenty of trouble with rooted up ground.
