We finally ordered a 2 acre perimeter fence from Premier 1 Supplies. We were happy with the quality of supplies from them in a previous order and would not hesitate to recommend them for any fencing equipment. We are again using our freight forwarder, American Fast Freight. Premier will ship for free in the continental US. We have them ship to American Fast Freight in Fife, WA. The shipment is then trucked up to us in the Kenai where we pick it up at Soldotna. We used the same process for the recent high tunnel we ordered from Tennessee. If you are in Alaska, check it out. With free continental shipping, it’s more cost effective than USPS and UPS. AFF will also take anything from boxed goods to pallets.
If you are considering an electric fence, we will provide our order specifics. It will give you an idea of what you might need. This order is for 1500′ of 4 strand electric fence and allows for up to 20 corners. We have no previous equipment (except for the energizer – a Solar Intellishock 60). The order is everything else that is needed. We are going with fiberglass posts and metal T-posts for the corners. The metal posts will be purchased locally.
We are ordering a bit more than necessary for 2 acres. With Alaska shipping expense, more is better than less.
Be well & green dreams!
