FAQs
What is the resistance of this fencing tape?
The resistance of this Kerbl Classic Fencing Tape is 1.21 ohms.
How many stainless steel conductors does the tape have?
The tape contains 9 x 0.2mm and 4 x 0.3mm stainless steel conductors.
What is the breaking strength of the tape?
The breaking strength of this tape is 230kg.
Is this tape suitable for all types of animals?
This tape is specifically designed for equestrian use and is particularly well-suited for horses due to its width and conductivity. Always ensure your electric fence system is appropriate for the specific animals you are containing.
How long is the tape on one roll?
Each roll of this fencing tape is 200 meters long.
Can I use this tape in wet weather conditions?
Yes, the tape is designed for outdoor use and is made from durable materials to withstand various weather conditions. However, ensure all connections are properly insulated.
Troubleshooting
Fence is not delivering an effective shock.
Check that the energizer is switched on and functioning correctly. Ensure all connections are secure and that the tape is not touching the ground or any conductive materials. Inspect insulators for damage. Clean the tape if it appears dirty.
Tape appears loose or sagging.
Use a tape tensioner to re-tighten the tape. Check for any broken strands or damage that might require replacement of a section of tape.
Current seems weak at the far end of the fence.
Verify the length of the fence run against the energizer's capacity. Ensure there are no excessive joints or points of resistance. Check the number and type of conductors; more conductors or a lower resistance tape might be needed for very long runs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent electrical conductivity for reliable fence function.
- Durable construction suitable for long-term outdoor use.
- Generous width enhances visibility and containment effectiveness.
- Designed with horse safety and containment as a priority.
- Consistent performance due to Power Energy technology.
Cons
- Requires proper installation to achieve full performance benefits.
- May require periodic maintenance like cleaning or tightening.
- The white color might show dirt more readily than darker options.
- Resistance of 1.21 ohms may not be suitable for all types of fence energizers or very long runs without professional assessment.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your electric fence energizer is suitable for tape and meets the voltage requirements for your fence length.
- Use appropriate insulators designed for 4 cm tape to attach the tape to posts, preventing current leakage.
- Maintain proper tension using a tensioner to ensure the tape remains taut and effective. Avoid over-tensioning, which can reduce durability.
- Connect the tape to the energizer using high-quality connectors.
Compatibility:
- This tape is compatible with most standard electric fence energizers. Always check the energizer's specifications for tape compatibility and recommended conductor types.
- Use with compatible gate handles and connectors for seamless integration into your fence system.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the tape for any signs of wear, damage, or sagging. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Clean the tape occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that could impede conductivity.
- Ensure insulators are clean and in good condition to prevent electrical shorts.
