The SecureFix Direct 40mm Electric Fence Poly Tape is designed for farmers, horse owners, and land managers looking for a robust and high-visibility solution for livestock containment. It offers the key benefit of reliable, high-strength conductivity for permanent or temporary paddocks; however, users should note that the 40mm width requires tensioning to prevent excessive wind flapping in exposed, high-wind areas.

Yes, the 40mm width and high visibility make it an excellent choice for horses, as they can easily identify the boundary.
While it can be used for permanent setups, it is essential to ensure it is properly tensioned and protected from rubbing against abrasive objects.
With 8 conductive wires, the tape maintains some redundancy, but you should use a repair connector to bridge the gap and restore full conductivity.
Yes, ensure you use 40mm tape insulators to prevent the tape from chafing and to maintain electrical isolation from the posts.
Yes, the material is treated for outdoor use to prevent degradation from sun exposure over time.
Check for vegetation touching the fence or broken internal wires; ensure your energizer is properly grounded.
Re-tension the tape using a tensioner or move intermediate posts closer together to provide better support.
Replace makeshift knots with professional conductive tape joiners to ensure a solid electrical connection.
For optimal results, ensure the tape is pulled taut using appropriate tensioners. When joining lengths of tape, always use dedicated conductive tape connectors rather than tying knots, as knots can break the internal steel filaments and create 'dead zones' in your fence. Periodically walk the fence line to check for sagging, which can occur due to vegetation contact or heavy snow/ice accumulation. Keep the fence clear of grass and debris, as 'shorting out' against foliage will drain your battery and decrease the effectiveness of the deterrent.
