What to compare when choosing a farm electric fence supplier
A farm fence runs for hundreds of metres or several kilometres, usually far from mains power, so the supplier matters more than on a home wall. Before you pay a deposit, check six things:
- Farm-grade energizers in stock, sized by kilometres of fence, not home security units stretched to a farm.
- Published prices, so you can compare a quote line by line instead of accepting one per-metre figure.
- Solar options: either an all-in-one solar energizer or a panel, battery and charge controller kit.
- The full bill of materials: wire, insulators, strainers, earth rods, undergate cable, warning signs and lightning protection.
- Installation coverage outside Nairobi, and a site visit before the final quote.
- Spares and fault-finding tools after the fence is up.

Farm energizers we stock, by fence size
| Energizer | Output | Rated fence length | Power | Price (KSh) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JVA SV20 Solar | 2J | Small farms and paddocks | Built-in solar panel and lithium battery | 70,000 |
| Lanstar P1000 | 10J | Up to 80 km in light weeds | Mains or 12V battery | 28,000 |
| Stafix X6i | 6J | Up to 60 km (90 acres) | Mains, battery or solar | 78,000 |
| Stafix X12i | 12J | Up to 120 km (180 acres) | Mains, battery or solar | 145,000 |
| Stafix X18i | 18J | Up to 180 km (270 acres) | Mains, battery or solar | 165,000 |
Rated lengths are the manufacturers’ figures for clean single-wire fences. Real coverage drops with grass load, extra lines and poor earthing, so size up for a long multi-line fence. Larger ranch and wildlife units, the Stafix 46000W and Stafix M63R, are also available.
Farm fence materials and prices
| Material | Unit | Price (KSh) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5mm galvanized HT wire | 1,200 m roll | 13,000 |
| W insulators (one per line at every post) | Each | 5 |
| Super strainers | Each | 30 |
| Copper earth rods | Each | 150 |
| 2.5mm undergate cable | 100 m roll | 3,500 |
| Warning signs, one every 30 m | Each | 100 |
| Lightning diverter | Each | 2,500 |
| Solar kit: 150 W panel, 100 Ah battery, 30 A controller, 10 m cable | Kit | 20,800 |
What a farm fence costs: three worked examples
These are the figures our calculator gives for free-standing farm fences with posts 3 m apart, 4 corners, live and earth lines alternating, and a lightning diverter. They cover materials only. Fence posts and installation are quoted separately after a site visit.
| Farm | Fence | Energizer and power | Materials (excl. VAT) | Per metre |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 acres | About 569 m, 6 lines | JVA SV20 solar | KSh 124,760 | KSh 219 |
| 1 km perimeter | 1,000 m, 6 lines | Stafix X6i + solar kit | KSh 198,380 | KSh 198 |
| Ranch | 5,000 m, 8 lines, 2 gates | Stafix X18i + solar kit | KSh 733,070 | KSh 147 |
The cost per metre falls as the fence gets longer, because the energizer, solar kit and earthing are bought once. Wire is the biggest single cost on a long fence: the 5 km example uses 35 rolls of 2.5mm HT wire. When comparing an installed per-metre quote from any supplier, ask for the materials list behind it so you can check the energizer, wire gauge and number of lines.
Choosing the right setup for your farm
- Small farm or paddock, no power: a JVA SV-series solar energizer, which has its own panel and battery, so there is no separate solar kit to buy.
- Medium livestock farm: a Stafix X6i on a solar kit, with room to extend the fence later.
- Large ranch, conservancy or wildlife fence: a Stafix X12i or X18i, with extra earth rods and a lightning diverter.
- Tight budget with mains or a battery nearby: a Lanstar P1000 at KSh 28,000.

Farm electric fence questions
Who supplies electric fences for farms in Kenya?
Patsec Security Store in Nairobi supplies and installs farm electric fences across Kenya, stocking Stafix, JVA, Lanstar, Nemtek and TH Mars energizers, 2.5mm galvanized HT wire, super strainers, W insulators and solar kits, with prices published online.
How much does a farm electric fence cost per metre in Kenya?
Materials for a solar-powered farm fence come to about KSh 150 to 220 per metre before VAT, depending on length, number of lines and energizer, excluding fence posts and installation. A 1 km fence with 6 lines and a Stafix X6i is about KSh 198,000 in materials.
Which energizer is best for a large farm?
For a large farm, choose an energizer rated well above your total fence length: the Stafix X6i covers up to 60 km, the X12i up to 120 km and the X18i up to 180 km of single wire. Multiple lines and grass load reduce real coverage, so size up.
Can a farm electric fence run on solar?
Yes. Use an all-in-one solar energizer such as the JVA SV20, or pair any energizer with a 150 W panel, 100 Ah battery and 30 A charge controller, which cost about KSh 20,800 together before VAT.

Yes. Patsec supplies and installs free-standing farm fences across Kenya. Send your fence length and number of lines on WhatsApp to 0714 847183 for a quote.
