Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct 12mm Electric Poly Fencing Tape is designed for livestock owners, including those managing horses, cattle, and sheep, who require a dependable and highly visible solution for electric boundary management. Its key strength lies in its effective current transmission, facilitated by four integrated conductive wires, making it ideal for both temporary and permanent pasture rotation. However, users should note that as a 12mm tape, it is best suited for shorter to medium runs where maintaining consistent fence tension is critical, and it may not offer the same robust durability as wider 40mm tapes in high-wind, permanent installations.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this tape safe for horses?

Yes, it is designed for livestock including horses, but ensure the fence is kept tight so they do not become tangled.

Can I use this for a permanent fence?

While often used for temporary setups, it is durable enough for long-term use if tensioned correctly and kept clear of debris.

Does the purple colour fade over time?

It is designed for outdoor conditions, but like all poly products, it may experience minor colour shifting after years of intense UV exposure.

How do I join two rolls together?

Use a specialized 12mm tape connector or buckle; do not tie knots, as this breaks the conductive wires.

What is the resistance rating?

This tape has a low resistance of 10.5 Ohms, ensuring efficient current flow.

Can I use this with any energizer?

It is compatible with most standard electric fence energizers; ensure the energizer power output matches your fence length requirements.

Troubleshooting

Fence shows low voltage on the tester

Check for vegetation touching the tape, ensure all connections are tight, and verify the energizer is properly grounded.

Tape is sagging between posts

Reduce the distance between fence posts or use a tensioner to tighten the line.

Wire filaments appear broken or frayed

Replace the damaged section of tape using a proper tape connector to maintain electrical continuity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly visible purple colour for better boundary awareness
  • Reliable current transmission with low resistance
  • Durable enough for both temporary and permanent use
  • Easy to install and handle compared to wire fencing
  • Strong breaking load relative to tape width

Cons

  • Width may be less visible than wider tape varieties
  • Requires proper tensioning to avoid sagging
  • Not suitable for high-pressure wildlife exclusion
  • Conductive wires can break if handled roughly during install

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up this electric fencing system, use dedicated 12mm tape insulators to prevent energy loss through the wooden or plastic posts. When connecting segments, it is recommended to use specific tape joiners or buckles rather than knotting the tape, as knots can disrupt the continuity of the conductive filaments.

  • Compatibility: Ensure your fence energizer is rated for the total length of fencing you plan to install.
  • Tensioning: Use plastic or steel gate handles designed for 12mm tape to maintain tension at termination points.
  • Care: Periodically inspect the line for vegetation growth. Weeds or long grass touching the tape will 'drain' the fence, reducing the voltage shock delivered to livestock. During the winter, check that ice or snow buildup has not excessively stretched the material.
