IntelliRope® PE 4.5

4.5mm (3/16") electrifiable rope for semi-permanent and portable fencing situations.

Virgin polyethylene (v-PE) filaments resist wear and abrasion
Excellent built-in elasticity
3 tinned copper and 3 stainless steel conductive filaments are 400 times more conductive vs. stainless steel only polywires

IntelliRope® PE 4.5 is identical to IntelliRope® PE 6.0, except it has fewer non-conductive monofilaments making it thinner and lighter.

Benefits

Grass farmers often use IntelliRope® as reliable subdivision fence for rotational grazing. Though many use this polywire as a boundary fence, you do so at your own risk. Train your animals to respect electric fence first!

It is particularly good for humid climates because polyethylene resists mildew better than polyester.

Can be pre-wound onto an EcoReel, EcoReel XL or a SupaReel (Spool Only) or SupaReel (Complete).

* Breaking strength is a minimum benchmark measurement: a straight-line pull at a steady rate. In the field, angled loads, sudden impacts, connection points, and material age or weathering can affect the force it actually takes to break.

** Probable lifespan is not a warranty by Premier. Why not? Because we know that longevity is highly dependent upon, but not limited to, quality of installation, insulator(s) used, rope tension, animal/wind/snow/ice/vegetation pressure and UV exposure (altitude and climate).

Installation Tips

Use up to 5 strands of electrified IntelliRope® PE 4.5 stretched hand-tight between wood, steel or plastic end/corner posts. Terminate using P Springs and RopeLinks. The goal is to have the P Springs half compressed once everything is pulled tight.

Regular maintenance is required to adjust the tension of conductors and reset any loose line posts. Tree limbs that fall upon the fence must be removed immediately.

For dry soil and snowy conditions, convert the fence to “positive/negative” by connecting every other strand to a galvanized stake driven into the soil.

Spacing of line posts must be adjusted to terrain. Always put a post at top of hills and bottom of valleys. Vary the spacing of rope strands according to type and size of animal(s), fence usage (boundary vs. subdivision) and the number of strands.

Suggested Strand Height (from ground):

For Sheep:: 3-strand fence—35", 24", 12"; 5-strand fence—36", 27", 20", 13", 7"
For Cattle:: 1-strand fence—34"; 2-strand fence—34", 22"; 3-strand fence—40", 27", 15"
For Horses:: 2-strand fence—46", 24"; 5-strand fence—60", 48", 36", 24", 12"
For Gardens:: 2-strand fence—15", 6"

Precautions

When cutting the rope to length, lightly burn the ends with a lighter or match to avoid unraveling.

IntelliRope® is the main low-tension conductor used on our farms. It is far more visible than standard electric wire and easier to install (doesn’t try to “re-wind” itself). Last winter a deer became caught in the fence—as evidenced by the hair left behind—and broke the rope (a rare occurrence). We were able to mend the break by using a simple RopeLink. If you’re fencing specifically for horses use a 6mm gauge (IntelliRope®, EnduraSoft®, IntelliBraid®), or a tape conductors.

I could not be more pleased at how well the IntelliRope & multiclip posts are working. I was considering the tape style hotwire but was cautioned that it would be much more wind sensitive. I put a couple pieces of plastic ribbon on a couple of spots to deter my rambunctious 5 yo Rocky Mountain horse but the rope is very visible. This is not my first protection endeavor with Premier & they certainly did not disappoint. Superior products & superb & knowledgable advisors.

This is the the best rope. I have this product that has been in use for eight years and it still carries its charge.

Super easy to use. We strapped the Eze Reel to the tailgate of our Ranger and unroll and rewind the IntelliRope easily. Love the IntelliRope!

I use this fence for rotational grazing cattle, dairy & meat goats and feeder hogs. The rope is visible, durable and conducts well. It is easy to re-spool. (I use garden hose carts which are lightweight and easy to roll around.) I find it doesn’t stretch much once I get it pulled tight. I’ve started using the springs and connectors from this company and in combination — works really well. We have switched over all of our line over the last 3 years and I am quite happy. Worth the price since it holds up well, even where I have it up year round.
