Specifications include, but are not limited to: Fences are intended to exclude all age classes of feral pigs. The following specifications are necessary to ensure that the fence works as planned after installation and that it actually prevents feral pigs from entering into the area within the fence. All fence will be securely attached and all sharp ends bent back to avoid presenting a hazard to people walking along the fence. The fence panels will be 50 inches high by 16 feet long and attached to the outside of the T-posts using fence clips or 9-gauge smooth wire. T-posts will be 7-10 feet in length, spaced no more than 8 feet apart, and pounded to a minimum depth of 30% of the tpost length and not more than 6” of t-post should extend above the fence. The 10 foot T-Posts must be used in boggy areas to account for loss of soil rigidity. Wire mesh skirting will be used in areas of uneven or rocky ground or where there is potential for animals to burrow under the panel, attached to the panel by hog ring, and secured to the ground with 24” anchors/ or stakes. The bottom of the hog panel shall be flush with the ground. In situations where the ground is uneven, the ground must first be graded to accommodate the fence panel. In the event that grading is not enough, fence panels can be cut to accommodate the shape of the terrain.
