Agricultural Elephant Fencing

Effective, non-lethal solutions for human-elephant coexistence

Protecting People and Elephants Alike

Elephant intrusions can be devastating to farmers, causing extensive damage to crops, infrastructure, and livelihoods overnight. While many are familiar with the broader issue of Human-Elephant Conflict in Sri Lanka, what matters most to farmers is having a reliable, proven solution that keeps their farmland safe.

At Tecgate, we specialize in non-lethal electric fencing systems designed specifically to deter elephants from entering agricultural areas. Our solutions are effective, humane, and tailored to match the unique needs of each location.

A practical solution to minimize crop damage and promote safety

Why Elephant Fencing Matters

Elephants are large, intelligent, and strong animals capable of bypassing or destroying traditional barriers. Once they begin frequenting a cultivated area, the damage often becomes regular and costly. Elephant fencing is one of the most effective long-term deterrents available, providing a safe boundary between farms and elephant corridors without causing harm to the animals.

Flexible designs for different terrains and risk levels

Types of Elephant Fencing Systems

We offer different configurations depending on your land’s layout and threat level. Each design is optimized to create a barrier that elephants are unlikely to cross, while being cost-effective and easy to maintain.

Ground Fencing

A series of high-tension, electrified wires fixed to sturdy posts at varying heights. These are designed to create a physical and psychological barrier that elephants learn to avoid. Ground fences are ideal for open areas and boundary lines.

Hanging Fencing

Used especially in forest fringe areas or where ground access is uneven, this method involves suspended wires that lightly sway with movement, making them harder to bypass or ignore. These systems are often used in combination with ground fencing for added deterrence.

Built to deter, not to harm

Safety and Effectiveness

Our elephant fences are non-lethal and meet internationally recognized safety standards. The system delivers a short, pulsed electric shock that is harmless but strong enough to condition elephants to avoid the fence over time. It is safe for both animals and humans, including farm workers, children, and nearby residents.

Maintenance & Support

Elephant fences require regular inspection and maintenance to remain fully functional. Overgrown vegetation, wire damage, or power failures can compromise the system’s effectiveness. That’s why Tecgate offers:

  • Routine maintenance packages

  • On-call support for repairs

  • Training for local teams or landowners on basic upkeep

We emphasize ongoing maintenance as a critical part of the solution, because even the best fence can fail without it.
