Electric fence conductors

Discover the best fence conductor for your situation

When setting up electric fencing it is important to select the right conductor for optimal performance of the fence. To find the best conductor for your electric fence we have selected a wide assortment of conductors. Whether you would like to fence in horses or fence out foxes, we have the right solution for your. Inform yourself by reading all info below or just contact our support team for the best advice. For every situation a different electric fence conductor is adviced. Depending on length, animal type and durability different conductors would be adviced.

Fence length

Your fence length is of great important on the selection of your conductor. The longer your fence is the lower resistance the conductor should have. As the longer your fence gets the more resistance it builts up, a lower resistance of the material itself helps to get the pulse to get to the end of the fence. With every conductor we specify the resistance. The lower the resistance the better the conductor.

Electric fence wire

With electric fence wire people often refer to the conductor. This is logical as wire can be used in for wide range of solutions. Wire can be split in high tensile and polywire conductors. When building a permanent fence, high tensile is recommended. When setting up mobile fencing or fences that do not have to last for many years, polywire is adviced. Polywire electric fence conductors are very flexible and lightweight. These characteristics make them highly suitable for mobile fencing. You can easily wind them on a reel for optimal mobility. High tensile wire is known for its durability. It is often used for permanent fencing. We often see high tensile being used by professionals as it is more difficult to install properly. Please be aware that when you would like to set up a fence for horses, electric fence wire is strongly advised against. For fences for horses, look for electric fence tape or equifence conductors.

Electric fence tape

Tape is used for high visibility of the fence, either for human or animals. Especially horse fences benefit from using tape. As horses do not see wire very well, they can badly hurt themselves when they pannick. This is not the case when using tape. Electric fence tape is made of strains of polywire, copper and galvanised steel. The copper and galvanised steel wires conduct the power of the energiser through the fence. The more copper and galvanised strains the tape has, the better its conductivity. Where copper is conducting even better compared to galvanised steel.

Electric fence rope

Rope combines interwoven wire with non-conductive plastic threads which makes it lightweight and easy to assemble. This ensures high conductivity and flexibility. Take a look at our range of rope fencing.

Polywire

Polywire, also known as twine, is very versatile and effective in electric fencing on farms. Widely recognised as the predominant choice for electric fences, polywire offers adaptability and is suitable for various applications. Its ease of installation and hand-tensioning capability make it a convenient option for fencing solutions. 

Equiwire conductor

The equifence conductor is designed especially for permanent horse fencing. The conductor is designed for the highest safety of your horse. Equifence is a high tensile conductor with a UV-restistant coating. This coating makes the wire enormously strong, but soft when a horse comes into contact with it accidentally. Besides paying attention to safety, the product has been developed for it to last much longer. Discover the equiwire solutions here. Still in doubt on which electric fencing conductors you need?

Safety is also an important factor with electric fences, so make sure you add a warning sign to you fencing to warn the public your fence is electrified.
