Electric fence wire carries the electrical current from the fence control-
ler around the perimeter of the fence. Galvanized steel and aluminum
wire carry electricity best. Poly wire, tape and rope have strands of
conductive wire twisted or woven into the fabric and are ideal for
electric fencing because of its ease-of-use, light weight and visibility.
Tip
: For equine enthusiasts, we recommend using 1½ inch white
poly tape or ¼ inch white poly rope . They are highly visible, easy to
install and safer than steel wire for horses .
The height and spacing of the wires will vary with the animal being
contained (or kept out). Always position one electrified wire at the
animal’s shoulder height; the animal will hit the fence with its nose,
making it back up. Proper spacing of the wires for the animal
controlled is more important than overall fence height.

Proper Wire Height and Spacing
When installing fence wire, pull wire taut to maintain the same height
and spacing between the posts.
Tip
: To prevent energy drain, keep electric fence wire clear of vegeta-
tion or objects touching the fence line .
