The Building Blocks of a High-Performance Fence
Wednesday, 12 March, 2025
In farming, the right tools are crucial. We may be a little biased, but at Gallagher we believe a reliable fence is one such tool. A high-performing fence stands up against the everyday challenges of farming, adapting to ensure your farm thrives for generations. At Gallagher, we understand the need for reliability, and the benefits of smart technology in protecting livestock.
Fencing isn’t just about keeping animals in, it’s also about keeping wildlife out and is an effective pasture management tool that maximises grazing efficiency. With the right fence, farmers can ensure effective utilisation of their pasture. Properly managed pastures lead to healthier livestock and more money in farmers pockets.
Effective electric fencing also plays a vital role in environmental protection. A Gallagher Suspension Fence helps protect your pastures, waterways, and natural ecosystems by creating effective barriers that manage livestock movements and reduce environmental impact. By keeping livestock within designated areas, you can prevent overgrazing and promote the regeneration of native vegetation, contributing to the overall health of your farm's ecosystem.
The Gallagher Suspension Fence, powered by the i Series Energizer System is designed to contain livestock, manage pastures, and keep predators out. This fence is more than just wire and posts; it’s a farmer’s first line of defence in establishing a productive, profitable and sustainable operation. Let’s take a look at the building blocks of a high-performance fence below.
i Series Energizer System
The heart of every effective fencing system is its energizer. Capable of delivering power to the back paddock, our intelligent i Series Energizer System comes with the flexibility of both mains, mains with battery backup or off-grid power options; no matter your location, it keeps on ticking. The i Series smart, adaptive electronics are constantly monitoring your fence performance and adjusting output voltage based on changing fence conditions; keeping your land and livestock secure.
But the i Series doesn’t just put power on your fence; it also offers intelligent fence monitoring. With app connectivity, farmers can track fence performance, receive alerts, and manage their fences from their smartphones.
Mega Anchor Kits
Another cornerstone of our high-performance fencing solution is the Mega Anchor Kits. These rock-solid end strain fence posts are designed for durability and easy installation. At the end of the fence line, fence corners, or sharp turns, the Mega Anchor Kits maintain tension and stability. The best part? They can be installed with handheld tools, no heavy machinery required, making them perfect for all landscapes. Whether you are dealing with rocky terrain, rolling hills, or flat plains, Mega Anchor Kits ensure your fence stands strong.
I-Post Suspension Fence Droppers
I-Post Suspension Fence Droppers are the backbone of high-performance fencing, offering superior flexibility and strength. The I-Post heavy-duty design pulls inspiration from engineered structural steel beams used in the construction industry. Made in Australia from recycled materials, the 100% insulated high-density polyethylene UV-stabilised I-Post is the tailor-made solution for permanent perimeter, internal subdivision, wildlife exclusion, and retrofit fencing solutions. The suspension design ensures that your fence can withstand the pressures of livestock and extreme weather, providing a long-lasting and reliable barrier.
Super Earth Kit
A good earthing system is crucial for the effectiveness of any electric fence, and our Super Earth Kit ensures just that. Across every farm visit, our team estimate that 8 out of 10 fence issues are due to improper earthing. The Super Earth Kit addresses this common problem, providing a reliable grounding solution that enhances the performance of your electric fence. Effective earthing means fewer interruptions, more consistent and efficient power, and ultimately, more reliable animal control.
Built for today, tomorrow, and every day after; well-built fence lasts for decades. It stands resilient against the challenges of modern farming, adapting to ensure your farm thrives. Our products are designed to adapt and perform, no matter where your farm is located. We are committed to providing Australian farmers with the best tools and support to succeed.
