Science
The Science Behind the 50-Year Fence
The fixed knot is a separate piece of wire locking together a solid vertical stay wire to the line wire. This increases the strength of the fence and allows for increased post spacing. The 50-Year Fence gives with pressure without stretching or sagging, permanently making it resistant to animal damage. In addition to the unique knot, the increased carbon content of high tensile wire makes it stronger and reduces elongation. Traditional fence made from low carbon wire is easy to work with and is fairly forgiving; however, due to its low carbon content, it is prone to stretch over time and requires regular maintenance. When a 50-Year Fence is installed properly, it will remain tight for years and requires very little upkeep, saving you time and money.

What is the difference between The 50-Year Fence and other fixed knot products?
The coating is the only difference between The 50- Year Fence and other fixed knot fences.
Other manufacturers use a class 3 coating, while The 50-Year Fence uses an advanced Zinc-Aluminum Class 40 coat, which more than doubles the life of the fence. The knots and wire strength are identical.
What sizes and spacing configurations are available?
There are eight different size configurations in The 50-Year Fence family, however our product line is always growing. To learn more about the available sizes and their various applications, click here.
I have an existing fixed knot fence on my property. Will the line wires of a 50-Year Fence match up with the existing line wires?
Again, the only difference in the various fixed knot products is the coating. All of the lines wire are exactly the same.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of The 50-Year Fence high tensile wire vs. traditional low carbon wire?
High tensile wire has a higher breaking strength and less stretch: 1,500 lbs and 2-3% stretch with a 50 year life.
Low carbon has a lower breaking strength and higher stretch: 500 lbs and 12-13% stretch with a 7 to 12 year life.
Feral hogs are tearing up my existing fences and destroying my fields, which 50-Year Fence should I use?
We recommend 735-6-330’ for feral hog control, however any of The 50-Year Fence wires with a six inch spacing will work.
Is SASCO planning to offer any other 50-Year Fence products beside the field fence?
