Electric Expander Fence

Electric Expander Fence FENCING Miscellaneous 24-5-30 This patent-pending "expandable" electric fence won first prize in an inventions contest sponsored by the British magazine Farmer's Weekly. It's now on the market. There are two versions. One is a net-type fence with 8 strands of nylon line embedded with electric wire. The other is a single strand of wide, flat tape that comes out of a roll. The base units can be mounted on a wall, gate opening, or in corrals. It can be used continuously as an easy-open gate, or temporarily to form a holding pen or to direct livestock for loading for other work. The two systems simply tie into an existing fence charger. They're available in lengths up to 60 ft. wide. Once in place, the fence can be pulled out in any direction so you can set up different configurations. A 60-ft. tape-type unit sells for right at $275. A 35-ft. net-type unit sells for $250.
