Fencing Installer Recommendations Needed
#10
I don't, but do know that you will spend a fortune on it if you hire most of the companies that advertise.

You can also keep pigs out with a solar electric fence that costs under 200$. Run two lines of strings on stakes or trees or Rebar every 10 feet apart. One 3 inches off the ground, one at 15 inches or so. The string is cheap. Nylon line with a metallic fiber in it.

You'll save thousands with this method but it requires more upkeep. Initially you need a clear border area to pound in the stakes. The line has to be kept clear of brush or it will eventually short out (and be temporarily ineffective) on the wet weeds. However if you do get out there and weedwack it every couple weeks, the pigs will get shocked and not come back. You could start with this method and work toward the more expensive permanent fence. Or some people just shell out the dinero and put up the fence with the electric all at once and have a fortress.
