Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your SecureFix Direct fencing tape, ensure you are using compatible 12mm-width tensioners and insulators. When installing, avoid pulling the tape so tight that it stretches, as this can fatigue the internal conductive wires over time.
For maintenance, periodically inspect the line for debris such as overhanging branches or tall weeds, which can drain the electrical charge. During the winter months, if the fence is not in use, it is best to reel in the tape to prevent damage from heavy snow or high winds. Always test the current periodically using an electric fence voltage tester to ensure the 10.5 Ohm resistance remains optimal.
