Ideal for temporary divisions, strip grazing and reinforcing existing boundaries, electric tape combines visibility with an effective deterrent when correctly installed and energised. Our carefully selected electric fencing range includes different tape widths and specifications to suit everything from compact turnout areas to longer fence runs, alongside the energisers, posts, insulators and accessories needed to build a dependable system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Right Electric Fence Tape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best tape depends on the animals being contained, fence length, exposure and whether your fencing will be temporary or semi-permanent. Wider tape is particularly useful for horses because its greater visibility helps them identify the boundary, while narrower tape can be practical for temporary divisions and shorter runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider visibility as well as strength. Wider tape creates a clearer visual boundary for horses, particularly across open paddocks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the number, type and arrangement of conductive strands.

Poor connections, vegetation touching the fence, damaged conductors and unsuitable tension can all reduce performance. Keep tape reasonably taut without excessively tensioning it: wide tape catches more wind than wire, so over-tensioning can place unnecessary strain on posts, insulators and connection points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse purpose-designed connectors rather than knotting lengths of tape together, as a secure electrical connection helps maintain conductivity throughout the fence.
