FAQs
What is the primary use for this wire?
This wire is primarily used for fencing applications, including keeping stock fences taut, securing mesh nets, supporting garden trellis, and as part of an electric fencing setup.
What size animals is this wire suitable for containing?
The 2.5mm diameter is suitable for containing smaller animals such as chickens and small dogs.
How durable is the galvanisation?
The wire is heavily galvanised for good durability and corrosion resistance in outdoor environments, designed for lasting performance.
Can this wire be used for heavy-duty applications?
While strong, the 2.5mm diameter is best suited for domestic and garden fencing. For extremely heavy-duty applications or containing larger animals, a thicker gauge wire might be more appropriate.
Does the wire come with any tools for installation?
The wire comes on a handy spool with a pre-drilled hole for easier application. However, installation tools such as wire cutters and tensioners are not included.
How should I store unused wire?
Store any unused wire on its spool in a dry, protected area to prevent moisture exposure and maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating.
Troubleshooting
Wire is not staying taut.
Ensure the wire is properly secured at both ends using appropriate tensioners or fittings. Check if the tensioning mechanism is functioning correctly.
Wire appears to be rusting.
Minor surface rust can occur. For persistent rust, ensure the galvanised coating is intact. If the coating is compromised, consider replacing the section or using a rust inhibitor specifically designed for galvanised steel.
Wire is difficult to cut.
Use heavy-duty wire cutters or bolt cutters designed for metal wire. Ensure the cutting blades are sharp.
Spool is tangled or difficult to unwind.
Gently work out any knots or tangles. Ensure the spool is positioned to allow for smooth unwinding without the wire snagging.
