FAQs
Can I use this wire for permanent fencing?
This polywire is best suited for temporary or semi-permanent setups; it is not recommended for long-term perimeter fencing compared to high-tensile steel wire.
What is the breaking strength of this polywire?
The total breaking strength is 80kg or 176lbs.
How many stainless steel conductors are included?
This wire contains 6 conductors, each measuring 0.2mm in diameter.
Is this wire compatible with all electric fence energizers?
Yes, it is compatible with most standard energizers, provided the resistance of the fence line does not exceed the capacity of your specific energizer.
How do I splice two ends of the polywire together?
Use professional polywire joiners or double-knot the wire carefully, ensuring the stainless steel strands from both ends maintain firm contact.
What is the resistance rating?
The resistance is 3.87 Ohms.
Troubleshooting
Low voltage detected on the fence line
Check all connections for looseness or oxidation and ensure the energizer is correctly grounded.
Wire sagging between posts
Increase the frequency of posts or adjust the tensioner to tighten the polywire line.
Visible sparking or popping sounds
Inspect the line for areas where the wire is touching metal posts or vegetation and clear the interference.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High visibility for livestock safety
- Lightweight and easy to install across long distances
- Resistant to snapping under moderate tension
- Excellent conductivity for medium-length fences
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel conductors
Cons
- Not intended for high-tension perimeter permanent fencing
- Requires proper tensioning tools to prevent sagging
- May require more frequent maintenance than solid steel wire in high-wind areas
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Classic Fencing Polywire, use non-conductive plastic or fiberglass posts with appropriate polywire insulators to prevent energy leakage. When connecting the wire, always use proper electric fence crimps or knots designed for polywire to maintain electrical continuity between segments. Avoid overtightening the wire, as excessive strain can weaken the monofilaments over time. To maintain the wire, periodically walk the fence line to check for vegetation growth that might ground the current, and ensure all connections are clean and free of rust or oxidation. If storing for the off-season, wind the wire back onto the spool and keep it in a dry, shaded location to prevent UV degradation of the plastic filaments.
