Stock fencing down the permanent sides of their enlcosures, which has a single strand at the bottom then three strands for the different paddocks which are rotated to give them a rest. I do use permament posts with insulators on to enable me to get the electrical tape massively taught on the temporary paddocks - stops the little (2 x one year old GOS Sows) blighters from escaping and the kune kune getting in!

we have three british saddleback pigs for the last six months and we have used the electric strip
fencing.
in those six months only one of our pigs has managed to get out three times, not to far either.
i think that is pretty impressive as i wanted the more expensive at the beginning but my wife kept
reminding me of our budget! ( where would we be without you!)
you have your plastic post for putting in the ground, you have your battery to run it and
you have your three strips of electric bands.
we got it on molevalley.com
i have to say as said in the beginning i was very doutfull, but would recommend it.
good luck with what ever you choose.

Our relationship works in the exact opposite way tyhat yours does! I think I'm going to be overruled and that we'll be trying to electric fencing only to start. On the plus side, the type of pigs we are going to have are known for being fairly liad back so fingers crossed! I'm sure we'll learn any lessons which need to be learnt the hard way!!
