Installation

  1. Attach a terminal insulator to end post.
  2. Tie end of the rope to terminal insulator.
  3. Unroll rope along the fence line. (Using Premier's reels makes this easier.)
  4. Insert line posts.
  5. Insert rope in the line posts at the right height(s) for your animals.
  6. Attach insulators (preferably Notched PI 21n) to corner and end posts.
  7. Tie rope to terminal insulator and spring at far end post. By hand, pull it tight enough to eliminate sagging between posts. Tie off by hand, or use a RopeLink 2.0.
  8. Use one of our reels to rewind and store rope. EzeReels™ can be set on the ground next to fence. MiniReels are best hung from the fence.
  9. Install and connect energizer to a ground rod and the fence. Turn on energizer. Check to make sure voltage is over 2000 volts.

This has become the main conductor used on our farms. Much more visible than standard electric wire and easier to install (doesn’t try to “re-wind” itself). Last winter became caught in the fence (as evidenced by the hair left behind) and it broke the rope (a rare occurrence). We were able to mend the break by simply using a RopeLink 2.0. If you’re fencing specifically for horses use the 6mm ( 6mm Rope, EnduraSoft, IntelliBraid) or tape conductors.

I used this for my inner fence in my dirt paddocks. The rope is HOT and the horses stay off of it. It's highly visible and strong. Easy to tighten if they do bounce off it.

This product was very easy for us to work with- truly a joy after struggling with thousands of feet of high-tensile wire a few years ago. However, I would switch to 6.0mm rope if I did the project again. (I should have listened to Premier's instructions, they warn against the 4.5 being slightly less visible.) So far the horses have really respected it, and it's holding up beautifully. I can't stress how much nicer this product is to splice/tie, cut, tension, and generally work with than traditional high-tensile wire. We plan on replacing all existing fencing with a Premier rope when finances allow- a very nice product.

Love it! Very easy to install especially since I haven't put up fencing in many years. Looks good too! Thank you for having a good quality fence at a great price!

The thing I like most about this product is the price. It's about half that of any competitor that I have found, and better quality than many of those.

We run miles of electric fencing, and I have strip grazed using various electric tapes and ropes for many years. To be honest, most of these conductors are pretty robust and will take a little abuse. Intellirope is no exception, and it is more tightly spun than some of the competitiors, which makes it very easy to work with. We use some for fences that are moved monthly, and some for a "permanent" fence, and it's doing a great job in both applications.

My only quibble would be on visibility. The riope is predominantly white, and the black strand does not stand out as well as a 50-50 contrasting combination would.

This was my first experience working with electric fencing material - this rope was very easy to work with and seemed to be plenty strong.

The Intellirope PE was the key to my fencing out deer. The rope is strong and workable
