Wildlife Fencing

M2 Industrial has all the wildlife fence options you need.

Not all fences are problematic for wild animals. Wildlife-friendly designs can save time and money overall by reducing damage.  Thoughtfully constructed fences can be compatible with both the need to contain domestic animals and the movements of wild species.

Keep wildlife safe in your backyard!

Have you considered that fencing can be very damaging and even lethal to wildlife? Not only do animals get caught and trapped in fencing, but large fencing installations may disrupt wildlife paths and historical migration routes. Fencing can create a complete barrier to ungulates, with fawns and calves unable to cross, they become stranded and separated from the herd and may die from predators or starvation. Birds can also collide, break wings, and become impaled by barbs.

Fencing that causes problems for wildlife:

  • Too high to jump
  • Too low to crawl under
  • Have loose wires
  • Have loose wires spaced closely together
  • Difficult for fleeing animals to see
  • A complete barrier

If you need some privacy, or ways to contain pets, kids, or livestock, please consider these wildlife friendly approaches.

The ideal fence for wildlife is:

  • Highly visible
  • Allows wildlife to jump over or crawl under easily
  • Allows access to habitat and travel corridors

Fence Considerations:

  • Smooth wire on top and bottom
  • Top wire is no higher than 42″
  • 12″ between top two wires
  • 16″ between bottom wire and ground
  • Fence posts at 16′ intervals
  • Gates or drop down sections to allow passage
  • High visibility wires, or flags/markers to increase visibility
