Gallagher Smart Fence 2 portable electric fence for livestock — 328 ft four-line kit, 16 lb with braided polywire

The Gallagher Smart Fence 2 is a compact, all-in-one portable four-wire electric fencing system designed to create up to 328 feet of energized temporary fence for livestock containment and rotational grazing.

Built to be moved, set up and reused, the Smart Fence 2 bundles posts, braided polywire, a turbo-conductive braid and a tensioning reel into a single 16-pound unit. It requires a compatible energizer and proper grounding to operate and is intended as a powered, temporary barrier for animals already familiar with electric fencing rather than a permanent physical enclosure.

How much fence can I set up and what does it include?

The Smart Fence 2 provides a four-line configuration that stretches to roughly 328 feet when fully deployed. The kit integrates three lines of braided polywire and one Turbo Braid conductor along with ten posts and a multi-reel tension system for quick assembly.

• Up to 328 feet of four-wire fence (approx. 35.5 inches high once installed)
• Three braided polywire lines plus one Turbo Braid highly conductive line
• Ten integrated posts and a multi-reel tensioning mechanism
• Compact system weight about 16 pounds for easy transport

What energizer and grounding do I need to use it safely?

The Smart Fence 2 must be connected to a compatible energizer or tied into an existing powered fence; energizer and grounding rods are sold separately. Proper energizer output and a well-installed ground system are essential for consistent pulses and reliable animal deterrence.

• Use a Gallagher-compatible fence energizer with sufficient joule output for the intended length
• Install recommended grounding rods and follow manufacturer grounding guidance
• Keep vegetation cleared from the wire to maintain pulse effectiveness
• Test voltage along the fence before turning animals into the enclosure

Which animals and situations is the Smart Fence 2 suitable for?

This system is intended for temporary containment and rotational grazing of livestock that already understand electric fences. It works well for cattle, sheep, goats and horses when used as a powered psychological barrier rather than a heavy-duty structural fence.

• Designed for rotational grazing paddocks and temporary paddock divisions
• Useful for orchard grazing, hay protection, or short-term show pen setups
• Not a substitute for permanent fencing where animals lack electric-fence experience
• Best used with proper tension, grounding, and periodic maintenance

How durable and transportable is the system for seasonal use?

The Smart Fence 2 is engineered for season-to-season use while remaining lightweight enough to carry between sites. Its components prioritize portability and reliable conduction, but the fence’s effectiveness depends on correct installation and energizer compatibility.

• Approximately 16 pounds for easy handling and storage
• Weather-ready materials for year-round temporary deployments
• Reel and post design for rapid setup and takedown
• Requires routine inspection of wires, connections and vegetation control

Who is this for? Farmers, ranchers and land managers who need a flexible, fast-to-deploy electric fencing solution for rotational grazing, temporary paddocks, orchard grazing or emergency repairs will find the Gallagher Smart Fence 2 useful. Choose this product if you already use or plan to purchase a suitable energizer and want a lightweight, reusable system that relies on electrification rather than heavy structural components for animal control.
