How to Build Electric Fences in Sons of the Forest

In Patch 08 you can now build electric fences to help defend your bases! We’ve setup an Electric Fence around our Woodland cabin here to show you how it works!

How to Build Electric Fences in Sons of the Forest

After a few hours of collecting resources and some trial and error building, we figured out what you need to do to Build Electric Fences in Sons of the Forest.

Step 1: Gather your resources! You are going to need sticks, wire and solar panels installed on your base.

Step 2: Build your fence!

Step 3: Place Wire along your Fence.

Step 4: Wire up your fence to your solar panels. This part was the most tricky, you must make sure you have a wire connected to the wood under the solar panel where the wire connects.

That’s basically it! That’s your electric fence setup. We have found that the fences are extremely weak and can be destroyed easily, so be careful around your fences, but they do pack a punch. As we upgrade our little cabin in the woods, we will pop the fences along the outside of the wooden fences.
