Product Information

Full details

This 20MM x 400M Green Electric Poly Fencing Tape is designed for livestock farmers and owners who need a reliable and durable solution for containing animals like horses and cattle, and protecting against predators. Its primary benefit is creating an effective electrified barrier that discourages animals from breaching fences. A potential caveat is the need for a compatible energizer and proper installation to ensure effectiveness. Key features include a 400M length for extensive coverage, integrated wires for conductivity, high breaking load for durability, and a green color that blends with natural surroundings.

FAQs

What is the recommended energizer for this poly tape?

This tape is compatible with most standard DC or AC electric fence energizers. The specific power output should be chosen based on the total length of your fence line and the terrain. Consult the energizer manufacturer's recommendations.

How wide is this electric fence tape?

The tape is 20mm wide.

What is the breaking load of this tape?

The tape has a breaking load of up to 110KG, indicating its strength and durability.

Can this tape be used for all types of livestock?

Yes, it is suitable for horses, cattle, and other livestock, as well as for predator control. The effectiveness depends on the energizer used and proper installation.

How many conductive strands does the tape contain?

The tape contains 4 strands of 0.16mm diameter wires for carrying electrical current.

What is the resistance of the tape?

The resistance of the tape is 10.5 Ohms per unit length, indicating its conductivity.

How do I maintain the electric fence tape?

Regularly check for damage, ensure connections are clean and secure, trim vegetation away from the fence line, and test the voltage periodically with a fence tester.

Troubleshooting

Fence has no voltage or low voltage

Check that the energizer is switched on and functioning. Verify all connections to the tape and grounding system are secure. Ensure no vegetation is touching the tape. Test connections at the energizer and at intervals along the fence line.

Animals are rubbing or leaning on the fence

Increase the voltage output of the energizer if possible and safe. Check for any breaks or shorts in the tape. Ensure the tape is adequately tensioned. Reinforce areas where animals are applying pressure.

Tape appears to be sagging significantly

Re-tension the tape using a ratchet tensioner. Ensure posts are stable and not leaning. Check for damage to the tape that may have weakened it.

Visible damage to the tape

Immediately repair or replace the damaged section using appropriate connectors and ensuring electrical continuity. Use a new piece of tape and connect it securely to maintain the electric current.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong and visible barrier for livestock containment.
  • Durable construction with a high breaking load.
  • Good conductivity for effective animal deterrence.
  • Long roll length offers excellent value and coverage for large areas.
  • Green color aids in blending with the environment.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible electric fence energizer to function.
  • Installation requires tensioning and proper insulation for safety and effectiveness.
  • Conductivity may be reduced by poor connections or extreme weather.
  • Potential for damage from very determined animals or wildlife if not properly maintained.
  • The 20mm width might be less visible than wider tape options for some species.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible electric fence energizer (sold separately).
  2. Install sturdy corner and end posts, and intermediate posts as needed for support. Posts should be insulated if they are conductive.
  3. Use appropriate insulators (e.g., screw-in or nail-on insulators) to attach the tape to posts, ensuring the tape does not directly contact any conductive material.
  4. Thread the tape through the insulators, leaving a slight slack initially.
  5. Connect the tape to the energizer using appropriate connectors and grounding rods as per the energizer's manual.
  6. Tension the tape using a ratchet tensioner or similar device until it is taut but not over-stretched. The 110KG breaking load should not be exceeded during tensioning.

Compatibility:

  • This tape is compatible with most standard DC or AC electric fence energizers.
  • Requires insulated posts, corner insulators, and tensioners suitable for poly tape.
  • Ensure the energizer's power output is appropriate for the length of fence being constructed.

Care:

  • Regularly check the fence line for breaks or wear, especially after severe weather or animal activity.
  • Inspect all connections and insulators to ensure they are clean and intact.
  • Keep vegetation trimmed away from the fence line, as touching plants can short out the electrical current.
  • Periodically test the voltage with a fence tester to ensure optimal performance.
