An electric fence insulator must resist millions of high voltage electrical pulses for years, remain undamaged by imperfect installation efforts, resist UV sunlight degradation and be unaffected by excessive and sudden wire strains from high winds, floods, heavy snow, ice, falling trees and high speed impacts from deer/antelope/elk. This explains why many insulators disappoint. We've selected our insulators because they work as described.
Things to consider when selecting insulators…
- Type of post. Some insulators are made for wood, some for steel posts, etc.
- Conductor (rope vs. tape vs. wire vs. twine). The conductor must fit and with-stand any pressure or strain.
- Function (end post, corner post, line post). Select insulators to match the need in the fence: e.g. rotating corner post brackets for corners.
- Color/aesthetics. White is more visible (and safer). Black is, to some, visually appealing because it's harder to see.
- Animal Safety. A top priority for horses. Avoid insulators with edges that could injure.
- Ease of installation. Wood insulators installed with power drivers are faster, easier than those requiring staples or nails.
- UV resistance. Virgin black is best. White is next (but it can outlast substandard black).
