Electric Fence Wire

About

Electric Fence Wire for Reliable, Effective Electric Fencing Choose dependable electric fence wire for creating, extending or maintaining an effective electric fencing system around paddocks, grazing areas and livestock enclosures. Our carefully selected range covers practical solutions for temporary and permanent fencing, helping you achieve reliable conductivity, appropriate visibility and a secure boundary. Whether you are replacing an existing conductor or building a complete system, you can also find compatible electric fence energiser options, electric fence posts and essential accessories for a properly planned installation. Choosing the Right Electric Fence Wire The best conductor depends on the animals being contained, fence length and whether your boundary is temporary, semi-permanent or permanent. Conductivity matters particularly over longer distances: electrical resistance increases the voltage drop along a fence, so choosing an appropriate conductor and making sound connections helps the energiser deliver an effective pulse throughout the system. Consider galvanised or suitable metal wire where high conductivity, durability and a more permanent installation are priorities. For horses, visibility is particularly important. Wider electric fence tape can provide a more obvious visual boundary than thin wire where appropriate. Match your conductor to a suitable battery fence energiser , mains fence energiser or solar fence energiser, taking account of fence length, vegetation and expected load. Use purpose-designed electric fence insulators to prevent the live conductor contacting posts and losing energy to earth. For temporary divisions and strip grazing, an electric fence reel makes setting out, moving and storing suitable conductors considerably easier. Technical Specifications and Electric Fence Care A successful fence is a complete electrical circuit, not simply a powerful energiser connected to wire.
