Q: What type of field fence is best for containing hogs?

A: A 9-gauge field fence with small grid openings (2-4 inches) is ideal for hogs. It provides durability and prevents hogs from rooting or squeezing through. Ensure the fence is at least 4 feet tall to deter jumping.

Q: Why choose a 9-gauge field fence for hog enclosures?

A: 9-gauge field fence offers superior strength against hog pressure and weathering. Its thicker wire resists bending and breaking, making it cost-effective for long-term use. Pair it with sturdy posts for added stability.

Q: What are key steps for building a hog-proof field fence?

A: Start by spacing posts 8-12 feet apart and burying them 2 feet deep. Stretch the 9-gauge field fence tightly and secure it with galvanized staples. Bury the bottom 6-12 inches or add an electric wire to prevent digging.

Q: How high should a field fence be to keep hogs contained?

A: Aim for a minimum height of 4-5 feet to prevent hogs from jumping over. Include a 12-inch outward-facing overhang at the top if jumping is a concern. Combine height with small gaps at the bottom to block rooting.

Q: Can a standard field fence work for hogs without modifications?

A: Standard field fences often fail due to hogs' rooting and strength. Reinforce with 9-gauge wire and tighter spacing at the base. Adding an electric wire or buried apron significantly improves effectiveness.
