Ever tried convincing a miniature donkey to stay put? It’s a lot harder than it sounds! These little charmers may be small in size, but when it comes to curiosity (and a knack for mischief), they’re downright unstoppable. That’s why, at Big Jerry’s Fencing, we believe fencing for mini donkeys is no less than a mission.
No-Climb Wire Fencing: The Gold Standard
If you’re looking for the safest and most practical choice, no-climb donkey fencing is your best bet.
What Makes It So Good?
- The mesh design features 2″x4″ openings — too small for hooves to get stuck and too tight for mini donkeys to slip through.
- Made from heavy-duty galvanized steel, it’s built to handle kicks, rubs, and leaning.
At Big Jerry’s Fencing, we install no-climb wire fencing with solid wood posts for extra durability. To make it even better, we add a top rail, keeping the fence tight and making it look sharp.
Board Fencing: A Classic Favorite
There’s a reason classic board fencing never goes out of style. It’s strong, beautiful, and easy for owners to monitor.
Perfect for Mini Donkeys When:
- Three or four rails are installed close together to prevent little donkeys from squeezing through.
- Mesh backing is added if you want even more security.
Wooden board fences also give your property a traditional farm look — something many owners love. Big Jerry’s team ensures each board is properly sealed and installed to stand up against weather, chewing, and years of use.
Flex Fencing with Electric Strands: Smart and Safe
Got playful donkeys who like to lean or test fences? Flex fencing combined with low-voltage electric strands offers a brilliant solution.
Why It Works:
- The flexible rails bend under pressure, so your donkey won’t get hurt if they bump into it.
- The electric strand teaches them to respect the fence line without fear or injury.
We carefully set up the electric line at the right height — one near the bottom, one at the top — ensuring maximum safety and minimal maintenance. This combo keeps even the most curious donkeys where they belong.
Types of Fences to Avoid
Some fences might seem cheaper at first, but they can cause major problems later.
Barbed Wire
- Dangerous.
- Can cause cuts, infections, and permanent injuries.
High-Tensile Smooth Wire (Without Mesh)
- Can sag.
- Doesn’t stop determined mini donkeys or sneaky predators.
Weak Electric Wire Alone
- Easy to slip under.
- Offers little protection if predators come close.
