Product Information

Full details

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.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this tape suitable for horses?

Yes, the 40mm width and high visibility make it an excellent choice for horses, as they can easily identify the boundary.

Can I use this for permanent fencing?

While it can be used for permanent setups, it is essential to ensure it is properly tensioned and protected from rubbing against abrasive objects.

What happens if a wire breaks?

With 8 conductive wires, the tape maintains some redundancy, but you should use a repair connector to bridge the gap and restore full conductivity.

Do I need special insulators?

Yes, ensure you use 40mm tape insulators to prevent the tape from chafing and to maintain electrical isolation from the posts.

Is this tape UV resistant?

Yes, the material is treated for outdoor use to prevent degradation from sun exposure over time.

Troubleshooting

Fence has low voltage or no shock

Check for vegetation touching the fence or broken internal wires; ensure your energizer is properly grounded.

Tape is sagging

Re-tension the tape using a tensioner or move intermediate posts closer together to provide better support.

Sparking at joints

Replace makeshift knots with professional conductive tape joiners to ensure a solid electrical connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High visibility white color prevents accidental contact by livestock
  • Strong breaking strain of 210kg for reliable containment
  • 8 conductive filaments ensure consistent current distribution
  • Easy to install and manage for temporary or permanent setups
  • Large 400m spool reduces the need for frequent joins

Cons

  • Width may be susceptible to wind whipping in very exposed locations
  • White color may show dirt more easily than darker alternatives
  • Requires proper tensioning equipment to maintain efficiency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
