Re: [AlpacaTalk] fencing/gates

 

I don't know how much area you need to keep them in but we used invisible fence and got the strong dog collars.   After two encounters with the shock of the fence we have had no more attempt at escaping.  They don't even wear the collars anymore but don't go outside the boundary.  Worked like a charm.   We interlaced the wire about 2 feet up all along the fence and just ran it about 1" underground under the outside fences.   Really fast and easy.  We had about 10-12 acres of perimeter fence.

They are digging under the gates. The hot wire, which is on the outside, is not stopping them. It is not hot enough to phase them once they get that excited and that close to freedom. I don't want to run it on the inside because of the alpacas. I keep piling up concrete blocks as as temporary measure until I have time to figure out what to do. Heather, do I recall that you once talked about pouring concrete under your gates? If so, could you elaborate please? Thanks! Janice
