Our 1.5″ electric tape is made up of 15 stainless steel wires, woven with polyethylene fibers. The stainless steel wires won’t oxidize, corrode, or turn green over time like copper. Conductivity is also stronger with stainless steel, so this horse fence won’t lose its initial strength as time passes, keeping your horses safe and your fence working properly long past the 20-year limited manufacturer’s warranty!
1.5″ electric tape has UV protection against damaging rays. It is highly visible and can be used alone or with existing fence systems. This affordable electric horse fencing solution has the right price and exceptional quality.
Following the installation instructions will make this fencing solution an optimal choice for a “weekend warrier” project. We suggest concreting in your corner and end posts for the stability and longevity of your horse fencing system. You can choose to install your electric fence system on many different post types including wood, t-posts, PVC, or fiberglass.
Installation Tips
- End Tensioning: Tension and terminate your electric tape runs with a tape end tensioner
- Corner Tensioning: When two rail ends of electric tape meet in a corner, you will need a tape corner tensioner
- Splicing: Running two ends of electric tape through the tape splice buckle will connect the two rail ends together
- Connection: To run the electric current to your electric tape, you will need to run your under gate cable and electric tape through an electro clamp or you can jump your electric current from rail to rail with a contact clamp
