Product Description
Hinge knot farm fence — also known as hinge joint field fence or hinge joint farm fence — is built from horizontal line wires and vertical stay wires, connected at each intersection by a hinged knot. As one of the most widely used types of farm fence panel in agricultural and livestock fencing, it offers a flexible alternative to rigid panel and fixed knot systems. Unlike a fixed knot, the hinge joint allows the wire to flex slightly under pressure and spring back into shape, which makes this fence type especially well-suited to uneven, hilly, or rolling terrain where a rigid fence would otherwise gap or buckle.
The hinge joint is the most widely used and most economical knot style in agricultural fencing. Mesh openings are graduated — tighter near the bottom to keep smaller animals from pushing through, and wider toward the top to reduce material cost while still containing larger livestock. Wire diameter, height, and roll length can all be adjusted based on the animals you're containing and the terrain you're working with.
● Durability and Strength — Constructed from high tensile galvanized steel wire for long-term resistance to impact, weather, and corrosion.
● Terrain Flexibility — The hinge joint design allows the fence line to follow uneven or hilly ground without losing tension or shape.
● Versatile Applications — Suitable for cattle, sheep, horses, goats, deer, and pigs, with mesh and height options tailored to each animal type.
● Anti-Corrosion Coating — Hot-dip galvanized finish is designed to resist rust under normal outdoor conditions; coating thickness can be adjusted for coastal or high-humidity regions.
● Livestock Safety — Smooth wire finish and secure hinge knots reduce the risk of injury to animals during contact with the fence.
Hinge knot fence is the better choice for uneven terrain and general livestock containment where some flexibility is an advantage. If you're fencing very large or high-pressure animals like bison, or need a rigid structure for a permanent security perimeter, Fixed Knot Farm Fence may be a better fit — it holds its shape under heavier, sustained pressure but is less forgiving on rolling or hilly ground.
Hinge knot fence wire is manufactured as high tensile steel, which gives the fence its ability to flex under animal pressure and spring back without permanent deformation — typical tensile strength for this fence type falls in the range used industry-wide for high tensile field fence.
The standard surface treatment is hot-dip galvanizing, which is applied as a zinc coating to protect the wire from rust and corrosion. Coating weight is typically specified in grams per square meter, with heavier coatings recommended for coastal, high-humidity, or high-salinity environments. Under normal outdoor conditions, this coating is designed to provide many years of corrosion resistance before maintenance is needed.
Hinge knot fence is typically installed with steel T-posts or wooden/steel line posts, with the fence wire tensioned along the post line using a wire stretcher to maintain consistent tension across the run. Because of the hinge joint's flexibility, this fence type is easier to install across hilly or uneven terrain compared to fixed knot fencing, since it doesn't require the ground to be perfectly level to maintain a tight, even fence line. A free installation guide is available — see the Download section below, or contact us for a version specific to your terrain and post spacing.
It describes four things in order: the number of horizontal wires, the vertical stay wire spacing in millimeters, the total fence height in millimeters, and the roll length in meters. See the explanation above the specification table for a full breakdown.
Yes. While the table above shows our standard specifications, height, wire diameter, mesh spacing, and roll length can all be adjusted to match your specific animal type, terrain, and project requirements.
It depends on your terrain and the animals you're containing. Hinge knot flexes under pressure and adapts well to uneven or hilly ground, making it a popular general-purpose choice. Fixed knot holds a rigid shape and is better suited to large, high-pressure animals or permanent perimeter security. See our comparison above for more detail.
It's typically installed using steel T-posts or line 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 visual and environmental 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, soil contact, and coating thickness — contact us if you're in a coastal or high-humidity region for a coating recommendation suited to your environment.

Hinge knot fence is labeled using a standard code that describes its wire count, spacing, height, and roll length. For example, a code like 8/150/813/50 breaks down as follows:
8 — number of horizontal line wires
150 — vertical stay wire spacing, in millimeters (smaller spacing = tighter mesh, better for small animals)
813 — total fence height, in millimeters
50 — roll length, in meters
The numbers in the middle column (e.g. "89+102+114...") show the spacing between each horizontal wire from bottom to top — note that these are closer together near the ground and wider near the top, which keeps small animals from slipping under or through while still containing larger livestock above.
Use the table below to match a fence code to your animal type, or contact us with your fencing height and terrain requirements and we'll recommend the right specification.
