Electric Fencing Columbia, SC

Initial Site Visit and Consultation

Before doing any work, our team will first assess your Columbia property to understand your unique containment challenges. We’ll gather details on issues you’ve had with pets escaping or wildlife entering so we can customize the barrier location and height accordingly.

After visually surveying the terrain, we’ll sit down with you to discuss different equipment options and policies. This includes optimal transmitter and wire gauge recommendations based on acreage.

We’ll also demo sample collars so you can feel the static stimulation yourself. Our experts will address any questions or concerns around safety, maintenance, warranties or additional services.

There is no obligation to purchase anything at this initial meeting. We simply aim to provide you with the information needed to determine if electric fencing is the right solution for your situation. If you wish to move forward, we will then shift gears to design and installation.

Custom Electric Fence Design

Our Columbia, SC electric fence installers don’t believe in one-size-fits all solutions. We tailor make each system according to the client’s unique specifications. This includes property terrain, pet types and temperaments, desired level of restriction etc.

During the design phase we determine exact positioning of the wire barrier, ideal post placements, transmitter location and more. Safety and aesthetics are both taken into account so your electric fence blends into its surroundings. We also incorporate additional deterrents like motion-activated sprinklers if needed for persistent intruders.

You will receive a Computer Aided Design (CAD) rendering approval before we purchase supplies or deploy crews to your site. This helps visualize how the system will function when completed and allows for any last minute adjustments. Our in-house project managers also create material checklists and job timelines during this planning stage.

Professional Fence Installation

Once you’ve approved the custom design plan, our electric fence installation team gets to work. Our uniformed crew members are drug screened, licensed, bonded and background checked for your peace of mind. You can count on them to follow proper safety protocols and work efficiently without wasting materials.

We begin by marking proposed post positions with spray paint. For best conductivity, aluminum posts are installed at least 2-feet in the ground depending on soil. We use industrial post hole diggers designed for clean placement in clay, roots and bedrock. Wires are then affixed using insulated hardware to prevent unwanted electrical transfers.

Our Columbia, SC electric fence professionals pay careful attention to perfecting corner posts as well as properly gating any access points. Appropriate signage and warning labels are placed at regular intervals as an additional visible deterrent. We also can incorporate secure electric netting in temporary situations where posts are unable to be installed.

System Activation and Testing

Once the physical barrier wires and posts are installed, we conduct rigorous testing procedures before ever switching the system live. Our technicians verify conductivity zone by zone using special sensors, and check for any accidental shorts that could deactivate the fence. Keeping safety as priority one, all systems are designed with low impedance for your protection.

We will demonstrate how to switch between operating modes depending on your containment needs. Additional features like emergency lighting, gate alarms and battery backups add further customization.

You’ll also be trained on proper maintenance activities needed from brush clearing to wire tensioning. We want to make sure you feel 100% confident with your new electric fence functioning flawlessly over the long term.
