1. Material
Choosing the right fencing material for your particular project is a very important first step in researching horse fence products. There are both positives and negatives to many of the commonly available horse fence materials but ultimately, safe horse fences need to be flexible (bend or give) but not break, be highly visible, extremely durable and virtually maintenance free. Derby’s unique thick-walled construction makes our HDPE horse fences the sturdiest and safest of all polymer fences available on the market. Derby Fence is manufactured from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE horse fence) and will not become brittle even at 60 degrees below zero and will absorb the impact of a full extended leg kick from any breed of Equine or Bovine.
2. Durability
Generally, land owners want the most durable horse fence they can afford.
