subject: The Benefits Of Modern Equine Fencing [print this page] Building and maintaining your equine fencing can be time-consuming and costly. Fences created strictly from wood can swell up, break, and wear out, requiring considerable resources to fix. In considering your horse fence options, make yourself aware of the advantages of using a newer, safer, and more cost-effective technology. Appearance and quality should not be sacrificed in your considerations either, as nobody wants a cheap-looking enclosure.
The Basics
The latest wood horse fencing involves two main ingredients: wood and polymer. Wood is great for its strength. But you need to avoid all of the aforementioned problems, and that's where the polymer comes into play. First the wood is specially treated, making it that much more reliable. Then it is coated with polymer to help prevent splintering, cribbing, and chewing. These two ingredients combine to create an ideal circumstance for the horse or large animal owner.
The Benefits
This technology is great for a few reasons: its flexibility, its longevity, its cost, and its friendliness to nature.
First, this type of material is flexible in that it can be combined with several other wire and rail products and manufacturers to get your specific equine fencing job done. Selecting this specific type of material does not limit your options, as it can be hammered, nailed, and sawed just like regular wood. Plus, if the standard white or black fence doesn't suit you, special ordering of colors is available. It is also flexible in that it can be used to build just about anything else (e.g. playground equipment, gazebos, piers, and docks).
Second, because of its makeup and design, the longevity of this product exceeds that of ordinary wood. The polymer is weatherproof. And naturally, the longer it lasts, the less of a hassle and cost it is for you.
Third, the cost of this type of wood horse fencing may seem higher than the lower-quality options. But if one considers the minimal maintenance of the product as well as how long it lasts, the long-term cost is most likely lower than the alternative.
Fourth, this creation is nature-friendly. The chemicals used to treat the wood are environmentally safe. Additionally, the outer skin prevents the absorption of chemicals into soil, water, or air. There are also organic options available for those types of ranches and farms.
The Catch
There is no catch. Any legitimate business that guarantees its product will also provide quotes before you make your decision. Nothing about this product cuts corners, and it will keep your animals enclosed and safe. Make the best decision for you and your animals and consider an alternative horse fence option.
