EZG 24" Fence Hog Extensions

FH24-4X - 4 ft. 24" Fence Hog® Extension

FH24-2X - 2 ft. 24" Fence Hog® Extension

EZG 24" Fence Hog Extensions are purpose-built add‑ons for the 24‑inch Fence Hog fence installer that let you safely and efficiently install taller chain link or woven wire fencing without buying a larger machine. By adding these extensions to your FH08‑24 Fence Hog, you can raise your usable cage height to handle 10‑, 12‑, and even up to 16‑foot fence fabric, making them essential for commercial, detention, sports field, and high‑security fence projects.

What are EZG 24" Fence Hog Extensions?

EZG 24" Fence Hog Extensions (often sold under part references FH24‑2x and FH24‑4x) are bolt‑on vertical extension kits designed specifically for the 24" diameter Fence Hog FH08‑24 model. The standard 24" Fence Hog cage is 8 feet tall; each extension section increases that height by 2 feet or 4 feet so the machine can support and stretch taller rolls of chain link or woven wire fence.

Instead of purchasing a separate, taller fence installer, contractors simply install one or two extension kits to reach the total height they need. This modular design is one of the reasons the Fence Hog system is popular with professional fence builders who handle a mix of standard 6–8 foot fences and much higher specialty projects.

How the 24" Fence Hog works with extensions

The Fence Hog FH08‑24 is a skid steer–mounted fence installer that holds and dispenses up to a 24" diameter roll of fence fabric, with capacity for 50' of chain link or 330' of woven wire. It attaches to your machine via a universal skid steer plate and uses the loader hydraulics plus a rotating turntable and drive‑forward arm to unroll and tension fence with minimal manual labor.

When you add EZG 24" Fence Hog Extensions:

• You bolt the FH24‑2x (2 ft) and/or FH24‑4x (4 ft) kits on top of the standard 8' cage structure.

• The extended frame now supports taller fence fabric vertically, keeping it aligned and under control during dispensing.

• The machine can then install fence fabric in the 10'–16' height range, depending on which extension combination you use.

EZG documentation and catalogs confirm that optional 2 ft (0.6 m) and 4 ft (1.2 m) extensions are available for both FH08‑24 and FH08‑36 Fence Hog models, with a maximum of 16 ft fence height achievable using extensions.

Available 24" Fence Hog extension sizes

For the 24" Fence Hog, EZG lists two core extension options under the 24‑series identifiers.

Typical kit options include:

• FH24‑2x – 2 ft extension kit:
  Adds approximately 2 feet of cage height, ideal when going from an 8' standard cage to around 10' fence fabric.

• FH24‑4x – 4 ft extension kit:
  Adds approximately 4 feet of cage height, used alone or combined with a 2' kit to reach 12'–14'+ capacities.

A typical configuration might use a 4' extension to handle 12' fence or a 2' plus 4' combination for around 14'–16' fence, depending on how the fence is run and supported.

Key benefits of EZG 24" Fence Hog Extensions

Install taller fences with the same machine

The biggest advantage of the 24" Fence Hog Extensions is that they allow your existing FH08‑24 to install significantly taller fencing without investing in a completely different piece of equipment. EZG notes that with optional 2 ft and 4 ft extensions, Fence Hog units can install 10'–12' fence and up to a 16' maximum height.

This is especially valuable on projects such as detention centers, sports complexes with high backstops, or security perimeters, where tall fabric is common. One contractor testimonial specifically mentions using a Fence Hog FH08‑24 with a 4' extension to stretch 10', 12', and 14' chain link for a detention center project and states the labor savings paid for the unit on the first job.

Reduce labor and improve safety

Because the Fence Hog holds the full height of the fabric in its extended cage, your crew does not have to manually lift, brace, or control tall fence rolls while stretching.

Benefits include:

• Less lifting and climbing to handle high fabric.

• Safer installation with skid steer support instead of crew members straining on ladders.

• More consistent tension and alignment across the full fence height.

The extensions essentially extend the ergonomic benefits of the Fence Hog to much taller fence heights.

Maximize return on your Fence Hog investment

EZG emphasizes that its fencing attachments are designed to “work smarter, not harder” and to improve the bottom line for fence contractors. By adding 24" Fence Hog Extensions instead of purchasing separate tall‑fabric equipment, you:

• Increase your FH08‑24’s job range from standard residential to high‑security and institutional work.

• Book more profitable tall‑fence projects without a large new capital purchase.

• Keep one familiar system, reducing training time and simplifying fleet maintenance.

Contractor feedback highlighted by EZG backs this up, pointing to major labor and time savings when using the Fence Hog with extensions on high chain link jobs.

Core features of the 24" Fence Hog platform (FH08‑24)

Because the extensions are dedicated accessories for the FH08‑24, it helps to understand the base machine they’re designed for.

Key FH08‑24 specifications and features include:

• 24" diameter roll capacity:
  Holds up to a 24" (609 mm) diameter roll of fence fabric.

• Capacity:
  Up to 50' of chain link or 330' of woven wire per load.

• Standard cage height:
  8 ft (2.4 m) before extensions.

• Universal skid steer mount:
  Attaches directly to skid steer loaders using a universal attachment plate.

• Rotating turntable:
  Smoothly dispenses fence fabric as you drive, reducing snags and interruptions.

• Removable center post:
  Holds woven wire in the center of the cage when needed.

• Optional tilt attachment:
  Tilt plate options can swivel the Fence Hog for fence installation on uneven terrain.

The 24" Fence Hog Extensions integrate directly into this structure, preserving all of these capabilities while adding vertical reach.

Typical applications for 24" Fence Hog Extensions

EZG 24" Fence Hog Extensions are ideal whenever you need to install chain link or woven wire above the usual 6–8 ft range.

Common applications include:

• Detention and correctional facilities:
  Tall perimeter and internal security fences at 10', 12', 14', or higher.

• Athletic fields and sports facilities:
  High chain link backstops, outfield fences, and practice enclosures.

• High‑security commercial and industrial sites:
  Facilities requiring tall fences with barbed wire or security toppings.

• Government and military installations:
  Long runs of tall chain link or woven wire fabric.

By pairing the FH08‑24 with the appropriate extension kit, contractors can approach these high‑value job types with confidence and competitive installation speed.

Buying and specifying EZG 24" Fence Hog Extensions

EZG lists the 24" Fence Hog Extensions as dedicated add‑ons for the FH08‑24 under the FH24‑2x and FH24‑4x identifiers, and they are typically sold through EZG dealers, equipment distributors, and online heavy equipment retailers.

When ordering, it’s important to:

• Confirm your base unit model (FH08‑24 vs FH08‑36 or Mini Fence Hog).

• Decide whether you need a 2 ft, 4 ft, or combined extension height based on typical fence heights on your projects.

• Consider pairing extensions with other Fence Hog add‑ons such as tilt plates or Hog Hangers, which slide on the top rail to temporarily hold fence while it is stretched.

EZG and distributor catalogs stress that these extension kits are engineered for the specific Fence Hog cage, so using genuine FH24‑series extensions is the best way to maintain strength, safety, and performance.
