Below is a description of the topics that will be covered at this years annual Fence Clinic hosted by Wellscroft Fence Systems, LLC. For a detailed agenda with times of the various talks, click here.

Wellscroft will be holding its annual fence building clinic on Saturday, May 3rd and repeated again on Sunday, May 4th, 2008. Sessions usually run from 10:00am to 12:30 pm and 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm at Wellscroft Farm in Chesham, NH. On our farm we have examples of all styles of electrical and woven wire fence so you will be able to see the type of fence you might be interested in.

The morning session will concentrate on portable and semi permanent electric fence systems and their applications, including a discussion of intense rotational grazing, a superior method of pasture management. This includes polywire, rope and tape systems for horses, cattle, and sheep as well as wildlife control. Participants will familiarize themselves with fence building techniques by actually putting up and taking down electric netting and reel systems, and will learn the importance of a good grounding system. There will also be a discussion of battery and solar energizers, volt meters, gateways, and most importantly, how to educate animals to electric fence. This session may take place indoors if weather dictates. We will finish up with a discussion and tour of low tension semi-permanent fences.

The afternoon session will focus on the construction of permanent high tensile smooth, Centaur rail and Bekaert woven wire fences. Participants will learn the proper method of mounting and grounding an energizer and how to protect it from lightning. There will be a demonstration of the King Hitter Post Pounder and various tools used to facilitate fence construction. Every one will have an opportunity to participate in the building of a corner assembly as well as the stretching, splicing and tying off of Solidlock woven wire fence. There will also be a tour to show you several different styles of these fences. Representatives from Speedrite, Centaur, King Hitter and Solidlock will be available to answer your questions as well as give demonstrations.

You are welcome to come for either or both sessions. Bring a box lunch if you are coming for the day, or there are two restaurants nearby. Remember to dress warmly as most of the clinic is conducted outdoors. The clinic will be held rain or shine. For more information, call Wellscroft Fence at 603-827-3464.
