Specifying the area inside the fence doesn't tell you the dimensions, and the
length of fence needed to enclose it (the perimeter) depends on the shape.
-- The minimum fence that can enclose 1 acre is 740 feet (73 fence posts),
around a circle with a diameter of 236 feet.
-- The minimum fence that can enclose 1 acre with straight sides is 834 feet (83 fence posts),
around a square with 208.7-foot sides.
-- If it has straight sides but it's rectangular (not square), then the bigger the
difference is between the length and width, the more fence (and posts) you need.
For example, if the pasture is 6-ft wide and 7,260-ft long, it's exactly one acre,
the horses have to stand in single-file while they graze, and it takes 14,532 feet
of fence (1,453 fence posts) to enclose it.
i do not know and care!!! new answer depends on shape of acre and type of fence
An acre is 66 feet by 660 feet so 1,452 feet of fence would surround an acre.
60 acres is 9013 ft. in square pasture
9013 ft. square pasture
You would need 2,640 feet of fence.
This depends on how many feet the trees are spaced apart. If the trees are spaced about a foot apart, then there is going to be about 43,560 trees in one acre.
160post at 20 ft. apart
1, if the roll is large enough!
A fence is a fence no matter what it's holding inside, there's no specific or special name that is used for a fence that keeps cattle in. It can be made of barbed wire, wooden boards, iron paneling, high-tensile wire, electric wire, or page wire.
That depends entirely on the condition of the grasses in your paddock, the climate, the maintenance you put into the paddock, and whether you intend for the horses to live in the paddock full time. A typical stocking rate (the number of animals on a given area) is 1 adult horse per acre of pasture. In order for an acre of pasture to actually support a horse 24/7 however, you must remove manure from the pasture daily, mow the pasture regularly, fertilize and broadcast seed the pasture, etc. all of which requires the horse to be OFF the pasture for various periods of time. I live in central IL where this time of year everything is wet and muddy. A horse on 1 acre of pasture here, right now, will destroy the pasture in about a week just by walking around tearing up the grasses. If you are only worried about how many horses you can put together, that will depend on how well they get along. If they don't get along well, they need enough room so that they don't irritate each other and the paddock fences must be safe enough that if they get to bickering and running each other around, they don't break through the fence or get hurt on it.
It depends on what kind of animal you are trying to fence in (or out). For an average cattle pasture, I prefer setting them 10 feet apart, so you would need about 150 T-posts. I still prefer setting three six-inch treated wooden posts for each corner; they will hold up better to the tensioning of the fence/barb wire.
