High tensile wire fencing is long-lasting, low maintenance, hard-wearing, and with superior conducting capabilities. However, high tensile and steel wire fencing is suitable for slow animals. It is not visible to animals. Thus, they can unconsciously run into the wire and suffer serious injury.\r\rFast moving animals are best contained using electric poly wire fencing. Electric poly wire fencing is in three options; poly rope, poly wire and poly tape. The electric poly tape has enhanced visibility and is a cost-effective method for horse fencing. \r\rElectric wire can carry more power than electric tape, but it also has higher resistance. This means that you will need larger wires to get the same voltage output as you would from smaller wires or tape. More importantly, animals are less likely to test the fence when confined by tape because they can't rub against it as they could with wire. Plus, the tape is much easier to handle and install correctly. For these reasons, the tape tends to cost less.\r\rPoly tapes are sold in varying widths, with the wider tape costing more than, the thinner width versions.\r\rElectric tape is also easier to handle, install, and repair than wire. It is not nearly as heavy or bulky, so animals are less likely to break it by rubbing against it or chewing on it. The tapes are available with high visibility for use as a deer barrier that won't spook them as wires will. The electric poly tape is has a larger width than the poly rope and poly wire. The electric rope is also wider than the poly wire because of the stainless steel woven material added to it.\r\rThe wide the poly tape more highly visible it is but the more likely it can suffer wind damage.

The decision as to whether or not you need a charger is based on how long of a fence you want and the type of animals that will be contained within it. For lower joule fencing, solar chargers may work just fine, but if you have higher voltage requirements, they will not provide enough power.\r\rFor smaller farms and backyards with only a few animals, an energizer capable of putting out about 3 joules per meter is usually all that is necessary. The best option for this type of application would be either a low-cost battery-powered fence charger.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Can I use wire rope for an electric fence? ","text":"Wire rope is the wrong type of material for electric fencing. While it might be fine to have around the farm, you should never use wire rope as your electrical conductor. It is not designed for this purpose, so you will increase the risk of an animal coming into contact with a live wire. Wire rope can also snap free from its moorings without any warning. The last thing you want to have happened is having your animals escape because your fence was defective or damaged due to using poor-quality materials. \r\rFor electric fencing, you should only use either aluminium or copper conductors. Copper works better but costs significantly more than aluminium does. Aluminium wire is usually grouped into three different categories: high-tensile (Type 1), standard (Type 2), and utility (Type 3). The higher the number, the thicker the wire will be. An important thing to remember is that you can't mix types of aluminium together. If you have a standard-gauge wire and want to increase the strength, you need to go to a higher-tensile wire. It might be inefficient if you are looking for rural fencing.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What are poly wire and poly tape used for in electric fences? ","text":"Polytape and poly wire are the best choices for electric perimeter fencing because they have a high number of conductors per strand. In fact, some types can have up to 21 strands of wire or tape in one cable. The high number of conductors coupled with being able to connect several cables together makes it easier to create very strong perimeter fences.\r\rThese two wires are also suitable to be used as temporary fencing solutions. \r\rDepending on how many wires or tapes you use, poly wire and poly tapes can be used for either low-joule (under 30 joules per meter) or medium (30-60 joules per meter) powered fencing. If you need higher voltage, you will need additional sets of cables spliced together with connectors designed specifically for that purpose.\r\rElectric poly rope fencing products are sold in different colours to make them highly visible. White tape is recommended in a green vegetation background or a brown landscape. On the other hand, a brown or green tape is highly visible against a snow background that is generally white.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null}]}}],"categories":null},"localsearchCMSArticles({\"categoryName\":\"fencing-supplies\",\"size\":5})":{"__typename":"ArticleConnection","results":[{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"BA3735C7-07B7-4346-AA8A-8385E4CF20C9","articleTitle":"Ring Lock Fencing Prices ","urlSlug":"/guides/fencing-supplies/ring-lock-fencing-prices","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/fencing/ring-lock-fencing.jpg","wordCount":1071}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"CDBCC909-EF79-EE4A-B112-8C78F1CC7B32","articleTitle":"Concrete Fence Posts Price","urlSlug":"/guides/fencing-supplies/concrete-fence-posts-price","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/fencing/concrete-fence-and-iron.jpg","wordCount":1104}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"88BD9B83-608B-9246-A616-4B7D70906416","articleTitle":"Aluminium Fence Panels Prices ","urlSlug":"/guides/fencing-supplies/aluminium-fence-panels-prices","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/fencing/big-green-aluminium-fence.jpg","wordCount":963}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"3927D750-B601-754E-96A8-2B5A4C9C8098","articleTitle":"Brushwood Fencing Prices ","urlSlug":"/guides/fencing-supplies/brushwood-fencing-prices","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/fencing/lush-green-vinyard.jpg","wordCount":1286}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"6CA6585F-835D-7E46-8ABA-E6AA4118B053","articleTitle":"Fence Replacement Cost ","urlSlug":"/guides/fencing-supplies/fence-replacement-cost","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/fencing/picket-fence-close-up.jpg","wordCount":1296}}],"categories":null},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"6642662\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[{"__typename":"ReviewAssetEdge","node":{"__ref":"ReviewAsset:ckjne1jnq000507mkc77k6iuc"}}]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"5339158\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]}},"ReviewAsset:ckvvqw65r000409l482rx8zcp":{"id":"ckvvqw65r000409l482rx8zcp","__typename":"ReviewAsset","reviewId":"ckvvqw641000309l4840093ao","url":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ls-asset-service/ckvvquo61000808l2bbj86wmm/ckvvquo61000908l2gy7k68nu","review":{"__typename":"Review","rating":1,"displayName":"Josh","message":"Would give no stars but that was not an option\n\nDoor turned up with half a hinge on it and no door jam as advertised with door jam\n\nIf no jam was so posed to be supply why put half a hinge on the door and where do i get the other half of the hing from??\n\nNext the driver crashed into the neighbors fence and drove off\n\nI have contacted NHS to have no answer and they don't seam to care\n\nMy advice go else where yes u pay more but you get the right stuff\n\nThank you and have a lovely day"}},"ReviewAsset:ckk6tflux000507md5rqc5kks":{"id":"ckk6tflux000507md5rqc5kks","__typename":"ReviewAsset","reviewId":"ckk6tflth000307md981866tg","url":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ls-asset-service/ckk6tes69000007k16v94971u/ckk6tes69000107k17x1m5qxe","review":{"__typename":"Review","rating":5,"displayName":"Tom Howell","message":"Excellent advice, has fully grown plants next to nursery to show you what the babies will grow into.
