One thing that I do is I have two wooden sticks (broom handles work great) with a wire attached to each that lead to a metal spike at the bottom of each. . When I stick the spike in the ground from one stick and touch the spike on the other stick to the fence it will produce a spark. Have it so that you never have to touch the wire or you will get tagged/shocked. You need to see if it is grounded without you becoming part of the grounding process. Been there, did that, didn't like it.
The amount of fence needed to surround 2 acres depends on the perimeter, not the area.
60 acres is 9013 ft. in square pasture
The length of a fence that surrounds 220 acres depends on the shape of the fence. A circular fence, a rectangle, a square, etc. If it's a square it would be 2.345 miles or 12383 feet long
The fence is white.

You don't want to know the square feet of barb wahr. You only want the feet ...how far it is around the outside of the 3 acres.The answer is: It could be a lot of different things.-- The shortest possible amount of fence that can enclose 3 acres is 1,281.5 feet.That's what you need if your 3 acres is in a circle 408 feet across.-- If your 3 acres needs to have straight sides, then the shortest possible fence toenclose it is 1,446 feet. That's what you need if your 3 acres is a square, 361.5 feeton every side.-- If it's not a square, then the more rectangular it is ... long and narrow ... the morefence you need to enclose it.For just one example: If the field is 120' by 1,089', then it covers exactly 3 acres,and you need 2,418 feet of fence to enclose it.The closer to square it is, the less fence you need.
Well, first you need to know the length of barbed wire in a roll. Then you need to know the perimeter of the fence (in feet or metres) you are going to build around that 180 acres. Then, calculate it this way: (length of barbed wire in one roll) x (perimeter of fence of 180 acres) = (total length of wire needed for "n" ft. (or m) of fence perimeter of one strand) (total length of wire needed for "n" ft.(or m) fence perimeter of one strand) x 5 = (Grand total length of wire needed to fence 180 acres) (Grand total length of wire needed to fence 180 acres) / (length of barbed wire in one roll) = (# of rolls needed for a five-strand barbed wire fence for 180 acres)
