EnduraSoft® 6.0
Product Details
For permanent electric fences. Has 3 “cables” of twisted polyester strands into which 3 tinned copper and 3 stainless steel filaments are intertwined. Because it is made of polyester, EnduraSoft® 6.0 is soft to the touch and is more resistant to ultraviolet light than even the best polyethylene.
Very good conductivity (32Ω/1000 ft), so it’s suited for any length of fence line and nearly all energizers.

Benefits
Adding energized strands to any fence helps protect animals from a fence, and the fence from animals—because they won’t chew or rub against it.
Can be pre-wound onto an EcoReel™ XL.

Installation
- Attach a terminal insulator to an end post.
- Tie end of rope to terminal insulator.
- Unroll rope along the fence line.
- Insert line posts.
- Insert rope in the line posts at the right height(s) for your animals. (See recommendations below.)
- Attach insulators (preferably notched PI 21n) to corner and end posts.
- 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. (Note: If the run of the fence is 1000' or more, use a P Spring at both ends of the fence instead of 1 end.)
- Use a wind-up reel system to rewind and store rope.
- Install and connect a fence energizer to a grounding system. Turn on energizer and confirm voltage is at least 3000V at the end of the fence line.

Very soft rope, easy to handle.
Rather low twist on the strands, so that some nodes form when one strand twists up on the other two.
Durability is TBD.
Susan S from Prince Edward Island/Manitoba
I have used this product in both locations, it stood up really well to the extreme cold and hot temps. in Manitoba. I use three strands for my horses and it is visible and so far no escapes OR injuries. I used electrobraid until I found this product but this is much nicer to use and install just hope it will last as long.
Debra C from Indiana
We just built permanemt fencing for our horses and love the Endurasoft. Easy to handle, easy to see, soft to the touch. We tied knots on the ends to stop the tendency to unravel. We have a lot of deer that come through and needed something resilient as well as a good shock deterrent for coyotes to protect our miniature horses. Love it!
Jeannine E from Virginia
Well, it sure as heck is not electrobraid. A bit slippery (fasteners do not want o stay put. Be sure to buy some of those corkscrew pigtails. Helps immensely),
But, all that being said, the price is decent and boy, it sure can hold a charge. We'll see how long it lasts, but for the price I think it is going to be good.
Side note is I have fanced my entire pasture with this and electrobraid, pulling down high tensile I have horses). I could not be more pleased with that as a fencing solution. The horses totally respect it (with a good charger and good grounding, this thing pack a huge wallop) and you do not have to worry about storms or trees. I even had a tree fall on mine and the repair was painless and cost me nothing extra.
High;y recommended fencing solution.
Ralph S from Alabama
decided to try this instead of high tension wire. I'm very glad I did. this rope is soft, easy to install and seems to hold up very well. as said will unravel if you dont tape and melt but no big deal. I was told by some that it would untwist but it doesn't.Liked it so much I bought and used it a second time. Will continue to use it. Great product.
