Product Description
Fixed knot farm fence — also known as fixed knot field fence or mesh field fence — is a premier farm fence panel solution renowned for its strength and durability. Built with high-tensile wire and a fixed knot construction, where each intersection is locked rigidly in place rather than hinged, this fence offers exceptional rigidity and structural integrity, making it ideal for livestock containment, property demarcation, and permanent perimeter security.
Unlike hinge knot fencing, which flexes under pressure, the fixed knot design holds its shape under sustained, heavy pressure without shifting or sagging — this makes it the preferred choice for large or high-pressure animals such as cattle, bison, and horses, as well as for fence lines where long-term structural stability matters more than terrain flexibility. Once installed, its robust construction requires minimal maintenance, allowing farmers and property owners to focus on other priorities.
● Durability and Strength — Constructed from high tensile wire for long-lasting resistance against impact, weather, and sustained pressure.
● Rigid, Stable Structure — The fixed knot locks each wire intersection in place, so the fence holds its shape under heavy or repeated pressure without loosening or sagging over time — a key advantage over flexible hinge knot designs for high-pressure livestock.
● Versatile Applications — Ideal for containing cattle, horses, bison, and other large livestock, with wire count and height options tailored to different animal sizes and containment needs.
● Anti-Corrosion — Hot-dip galvanized surface treatment is designed to resist rust under normal outdoor conditions; coating can be upgraded for coastal or high-humidity regions.
● Safety for Livestock — Smooth wire finish and securely locked knots reduce the risk of injury during contact with the fence.
The core difference between fixed knot and hinge knot fencing comes down to how each wire intersection behaves under pressure. A hinge knot flexes slightly when an animal pushes against it, then springs back — useful for absorbing impact on uneven terrain. A fixed knot, by contrast, locks the intersection rigidly, so the fence doesn't shift, loosen, or develop sag points even under sustained, repeated pressure from large or powerful animals.
This makes fixed knot fencing the stronger choice for cattle, bison, and horses, or for any perimeter where long-term structural integrity is more important than terrain flexibility. The trade-off is that fixed knot is less forgiving on steep or uneven ground, where hinge knot's flexibility holds an advantage. If your land is hilly or your primary concern is general livestock containment rather than maximum holding strength, Hinge Knot Farm Fence may be the better fit.
Fixed knot fence is typically installed with steel T-posts, wooden line posts, or steel pipe posts, with the wire run tensioned using a wire stretcher to keep the fence line tight and flat. Because the fixed knot construction is rigid, post spacing and ground leveling matter more than with hinge knot fencing — posts are generally set at consistent intervals along a straight or gently graded line for best results. A free installation guide is available — see the Download section below, or contact us for guidance specific to your post spacing and terrain.
The numbering reflects different combinations of wire count and fence height — FKFF-1 is a tall, heavy-duty specification (23 wires, 120" height) suited to large livestock or tall perimeter fencing, while FKFF-16 is a shorter, lighter-duty specification (7 wires, 36" height) suited to smaller animals or low boundary fencing. See the specification table above for the full range.
Fixed knot holds a rigid shape under sustained, heavy pressure without shifting or sagging, making it the stronger choice for cattle, bison, and horses, or for permanent security perimeters. Hinge knot flexes under pressure and adapts better to hilly terrain, but isn't as rigid under continuous heavy load. See our comparison above for more detail.
It depends on your livestock. Tighter spacing (3") suits smaller or younger animals and maximizes containment security; wider spacing (12") is more economical and works well for larger livestock like cattle and horses where small-animal exclusion isn't needed. 6" is a balanced middle option for mixed operations.
Yes. The items listed (FKFF-1 through FKFF-16) reflect our standard specifications, but wire gauge, fence height, and stay spacing can be adjusted to match your specific livestock and project requirements.
It's typically installed using steel T-posts, wooden posts, or steel pipe posts, with the wire tensioned along the post line using a wire stretcher. A free installation guide is available for download on this page.
This fence can be supplied in over 200 RAL colors with a PVC or powder coating finish, in addition to the standard hot-dip galvanized finish, depending on your project's environmental and visual requirements.
Under normal outdoor conditions, the hot-dip galvanized coating is designed to resist corrosion for many years before maintenance is needed. Actual lifespan depends on local climate and coating thickness — contact us if you're in a coastal or high-humidity region for a coating recommendation suited to your environment.

Note: Recommendations above are based on standard industry practice matching wire count and fence height to animal type. Tensile strength and zinc coating specifications will be confirmed per item — contact us for a detailed datasheet.
Each fixed knot fence code (FKFF-1 through FKFF-16) corresponds to a specific combination of horizontal wire count and fence height, with wire gauge and stay spacing options applying across the range. In general, a higher horizontal wire count and taller fence height indicate a heavier-duty specification suited to larger or more persistent animals, while shorter, lighter specifications are better suited to smaller livestock or lower-pressure containment needs.
Note: Specification heights below are listed in inches (the standard unit for this product line); for reference, 12" ≈ 30.5 cm.
Stay spacing — the horizontal distance between vertical wires — affects how well the fence resists smaller animals pushing through and how much material (and cost) the fence uses overall. As a general guide:
3" spacing — tightest mesh, best for smaller or younger animals (lambs, kids, poultry) and situations where maximum containment security is the priority.
6" spacing — a balanced, general-purpose option suited to most mixed livestock operations.
12" spacing — widest spacing, most economical, suited to larger livestock (cattle, horses) where small-animal exclusion isn't a concern.
If you're unsure which spacing fits your livestock mix, contact us with your animal types and we can recommend the right configuration.
