Process We Follow for Electric Fencing
Site Evaluation and Planning
The first step our electric fence installation team takes is a thorough evaluation of your property to understand your containment goals, terrain challenges, existing infrastructure, zoning regulations and any homeowner association requirements.
We identify the best places to set posts, run wiring, install gates and situate the energizer for optimal electric fence performance. Vegetation overgrowth and other obstructions are also noted.
Next, we collaborate with you to map out a custom fence layout that provides the desired animal control while conforming to codes and balancing aesthetics with functionality. The plan also considers budget and highlights options where applicable.
Once you approve the electric fence design, we order the necessary components and schedule the installation date(s).
Site Preparation
On installation day, our electric fence installers arrive with all the equipment, tools and materials needed to efficiently erect your electric barrier.
We start by using brush cutters, chainsaws and other equipment to clear along the planned fence lines. Removing thick vegetation not only allows access but also eliminates sources of electrical shorts and ground faults.
For permanent electric fences, we use an auger, post-hole digger or trencher to bore holes for setting line posts and end/corner braces. Post bases are cleared of rocks/debris and filled with a layer of gravel to aid stability while allowing moisture drainage.
The fence area is then ready for us to start setting posts and assembling the electric barrier.
Post and Wire Installation
Your electric fence begins taking shape as our team uses specialized techniques to properly space and sink pressure-treated wood, fiberglass, plastic or steel posts into the ground. End, corner and gate posts are set in concrete for maximum strength and rigidity.
Post tops are fitted with high-quality insulators to prevent shorts. We use offset insulators as needed on uneven terrain to maintain wire spacing and height.
Next we string and tension high-tensile electric fence wiring, securely attaching it to insulators in a z-shaped pattern for optimal conductivity. We also install lightning diverters and warning signs per code requirements.
For increased visibility, white polytape or polywire with integrated conductors can be substituted for traditional steel wiring.
Connecting and Testing the Electric Fencer
Once wiring is finished, we professionally connect the leads to an appropriately-sized electric fence energizer and grounding system. This may be a plug-in or battery-powered unit for small areas or a large solar/AC-powered model for perimeter fencing.
Before completing the electric fence installation, our team double checks that all connections are intact, wiring is properly spaced/tensioned and the fence is clear of debris/vegetation. We confirm the energizer is functioning and adjust output for optimum electric shock.
You’ll receive a hands-on tutorial of the electric fence and energizer operation. We can also provide tips on maintaining an effective electric barrier year-round.
Cost of Electric Fencing in Nampa, ID
Electric fence installation costs depend on the length, terrain complexity and materials used for your unique project. Basic electric polywire for temporary grazing starts around $2 per foot. High-tensile permanent electric fencing typically ranges from $4 – $7+ per linear foot installed.
Nampa Fence eliminates surprise add-ons by providing all-inclusive installation pricing with the major components built in. Optional upgrades are clearly listed with associated costs for you to select as needed.

FAQs About Electric Fencing in Nampa, Idaho
How long does installation take?
Most standard electric fence projects take our crew 1-2 days to fully install. More complex containments with longer perimeters, challenging terrain or unique specifications can run 3+ days. We schedule fence construction in phases if needed to work within property use constraints.
What about permitting and HOA regulations?
Our electric fence installers handle all permitting required by codes. We also ensure any homeowner association design restrictions are incorporated into the containment plan.
Is electric fencing safe for kids and pets?
Modern electric fences and energizers are designed to deliver safe, momentary shocks that startle rather than harm. Nampa Fence uses only the highest-quality components and fences to code for controlled yet effective containment. We can also suggest extra precautions as needed.
How much land can an electric fence enclose?
A single electric fence energizer can power miles of fencing if properly installed. The amount of land enclosed mainly depends on terrain complexity, livestock pressure and budget factors. Our company custom tailors electric barriers of all sizes to meet unique needs.
What maintenance is required?
Electric fences require periodic inspection, vegetation clearing and wire tensioning. Faulty wiring must be promptly fixed to maintain conductivity. Energizer upkeep involves checking connections and replacing batteries/parts per manufacturer guidelines. Overall, electric fences need less maintenance than conventional fences.
Will an electric fence work in snow or other weather extremes?
Snow and other conditions that ground out wires are the main electric fence challenges. Fortunately, newer energizer technology provides sufficient voltage to maintain an adequate shock despite common environmental factors. We also offer heavy-duty electric fence wiring that stands up to tough weather when properly installed and tensioned.
How long will an electric fence last?
Depending on materials and proper maintenance, you can expect 15 – 25 years from a high-quality electric fence system. Using the strongest posts spaced closed together, heavy-duty energizers and wire formulated for extreme temperatures/sunlight exposure extends electric fence lifespans.
What voltage and joules do I need?
Voltage (V) x Amperage (A) = Joules (J). Joules measure the power of an electric fence charging system. Requirements depend on the fence length/complexity and livestock type/pressure. Our Nampa fence experts specify the right energizer and backup options to contain your animals, terrain and conditions.
How much space is needed between wires?
Proper electric fence wire spacing (6-12 inches typically) prevents animals from pushing through or shorting against wires. Accounts for animal height, thickness of winter coat and grounding factors when determining distance. Our team optimizes spacing based on your containment goals.
What animals can an electric fence hold?
Most domestic livestock and wildlife can be successfully contained with properly planned/installed electric fencing. From poultry to cattle and sheep to horses, our crew tailors fences to overcome the unique behaviors, instincts and environments posed by different animals – including persistent escape artists!
