Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of animals is this tape best suited for?

This tape is ideal for containing horses, cattle, and other livestock. Its strength and conductivity also help deter predators.

How do I connect the tape to an electric fence energizer?

You will need specialized connectors to attach the tape securely to your energizer's output lead. Ensure a clean and robust connection.

What is the resistance of this electric fence tape?

The tape has a resistance of 5.5 Ohms, which is suitable for many standard electric fencing applications.

Is the green colour important?

The green colour is chosen to help the tape blend in with natural surroundings, making it less visually intrusive in fields and pastures.

Can this tape be used for permanent fencing?

While durable, for very long-term permanent installations, consider factors like extreme weather exposure and animal wear. Proper installation and maintenance are key for longevity.

What is the breaking load of the tape?

The tape has a breaking load of up to 210KG, indicating its high tensile strength and durability.

How wide is the tape?

The tape is 40mm wide, providing a good visual and physical barrier for animals.

Troubleshooting

No voltage detected on the tape.

Check that the energizer is switched on and properly connected to the tape and earth. Inspect for breaks in the tape or loose connections. Ensure vegetation is not touching the tape and shorting it out.

Tape breaking under pressure.

Verify that the breaking load of 210KG is sufficient for the animals contained. Ensure fence posts are stable and properly braced. Inspect for signs of wear or damage on the tape.

Animals are not deterred by the shock.

Check the voltage output with a fence tester. Ensure the energizer is powerful enough for the length of the fence and the type of animal. Verify there are no short circuits caused by vegetation or damaged insulators.

Tape sagging significantly.

Re-tension the tape and ensure adequate support posts are used. Check insulator attachment points for stability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High breaking load for excellent durability.
  • Good electrical conductivity for effective deterrence.
  • Visible 40mm width for clear animal guidance.
  • Long 400M roll provides ample coverage.
  • Subtle green colour integrates well with the environment.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible electric fence energizer to function.
  • Resistance of 5.5 Ohms may not be suitable for extremely long runs without careful planning.
  • Green colour may be less visible in dense green foliage for some users.
  • Potential for UV degradation over prolonged, direct sun exposure if not maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible electric fence energizer (charger) and appropriate insulators for your fence posts.
  2. Unroll the tape, keeping it taut to maximize effectiveness.
  3. Attach the tape securely to fence posts using appropriate insulators, ensuring no direct contact between the tape and the post.
  4. Connect the tape to your energizer using high-quality connectors.
  5. Test the fence voltage with a fence tester to ensure it is operating within the recommended range for your livestock.

Compatibility:

This tape is designed for use with standard electric fence energizers. The 5.5 Ohm resistance is a key factor; ensure your energizer is rated to handle this level of resistance and deliver adequate voltage for your specific animal containment needs.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the tape for damage, wear, or sagging.
  • Ensure insulators are in good condition and properly attached.
  • Keep the fence line clear of vegetation that could short out the fence.
  • Store unused tape in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.
