What You Need to Know About Elk Fences
Nov 7th 2016
At one time, elk were found all across North America; but after being driven out by hunters, they tend to stay tucked inside remote parts of the country.
Elk are often referred to as wapiti, or light-colored deer. Their antlers can reach 4" high, making them stand tall at 9" tall. In the cooler months of the year, elk tend to wander in herds (separated by males and females) in search for food. In the winter, they trudge through snow and eat grass and any leaves they can find.
Although they tend to shy away from properties, they will not stop if they see unprotected crops. This is why elk fencing is the best fence type for homeowners experiencingg elk damage in gardens. Elk Fence is much stronger than a typical poly deer fence with a breaking load of 1400 pounds and a life expectancy of at least 30 years.
What makes elk fencing so special lays within the fence design. The rounded tensile strands and small joints of the Elk and Large Animal Fence create the appearance of a virtually invisible deer fence from 35 feet away. The 1.06" by 1.46" grid size and black color of these 6" and 8" fences for elk management will help you protect your garden without destroying its natural beauty.
