Fencing
A strong and safe pasture fence starts with the right wire mesh.

At De Sutter Naturally, you’ll find high-quality wire mesh with 8 cm and 15 cm mesh sizes.
The knot of your wire mesh determines how sturdy and flexible your fence is. We explain the difference between the X-knot and the fixed knot so you can easily make the right choice.

X-Knot

Flexible and Animal-Friendly Wire Mesh
The X-knot is recognizable by the crossing of the wires in an X-shape.
Here, the vertical wire can slightly move over the horizontal wire.

Advantages of the X-Knot:

  • Flexible 8 cm mesh: The wire moves along, ideal for smaller animals.
  • Animal-friendly: Goats and sheep can safely poke their heads through the mesh.
  • Perfect for hilly terrain: The wire mesh easily follows height differences.
  • Easy to install: Its flexibility allows smooth work around curves and slopes.

Ideal Use:

  • Pastures with goats or sheep
  • Hilly or uneven terrain
  • When slight mobility is desired

Fixed Knot

Robust and Impenetrable Wire Mesh
In the fixed knot, the vertical wire is immovably attached to the horizontal wire.
This keeps the 8 cm or 15 cm mesh size always consistent.

Advantages of the Fixed Knot:

  • Maximum strength: Ideal for horses, cows, or animals that push against the fence.
  • Safe for animals: No sharp or protruding parts.
  • Low maintenance: Stays tight and stable for years.
  • Neat appearance: Combine with a wooden fence for a professional look.

Ideal Use:

  • Flat pastures
  • Large animals such as horses and cattle
  • Situations where a strong and stable barrier is required

Which Knot Suits Your Pasture Fence?

The choice between X-knot and fixed knot depends on your terrain and animals:

  • X-knot: Flexible and animal-friendly for hills and smaller animals
  • Fixed knot: Robust and safe for flat terrain and larger animals

With wire mesh from De Sutter Naturally, you always choose durability, quality, and a stylish finish for your pasture.
