IntelliBraid® 6.0
Long lasting, 6mm (1/4") dia. braided rope conductor for permanent electric fences.
Tinned copper filaments (2) run along the inner core. First-quality braided polyester and 12 stainless steel filaments provide support. This method reduces the stress on the copper filament, increases strand strength and provides more metal-to-metal and metal-to-animal contact points throughout.

Benefits
Polyester, the same plastic filaments as in EnduraSoft® 6.0, is noted for its strength, soft feel and inherently high resistance to UV light degradation.
Black/white alternating color increases effectiveness by offering contrast to animals against both light and dark backgrounds.
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.

I absolutely love this stuff and have bought several rolls. We have 50 horses and I’ve been slowly replacing all of our electric wire, and building new pastures. The last roll I ordered did have a slight defect and there was a kink throughout the whole roll. It doesn’t seem to affect the conductivity of the wire, but doesn’t look nearly as nice as the rest. The other rolls have been fine.

Excellent fence to work with, no gloves necessary! Super easy to install and looks so nice. Highly recommend.

I have been using IntelliBraid for my permanent fencing for more than 8 years now. I began using it after I saw what great results my friend a horse trainer had with it on her place. It is cost effective, safe and works great for my horses and cattle. I have never had an animal injured or one escape. I have set it up with 5 strands one of which is about 8 inches off the ground and even my dogs stay in!
Premier 1 is super helpful with installation advice and helpful hints. It is a great product!

I have had IntelliBraid up for at least 12 years, still works and looks great. Initial cost is a bit higher than others but you don’t have to replace it! IntelliBraid is worth every penny.

Bought this back in Feb 2016, we put up 3 lines to keep in Scottish Highland cattle. This was the easiest fence I ever put up in my life, the cows haven't gotten out even once, they don't even test it. The rope looks as good as the day I put it up and it's ridiculously easy to maintain. The only downside is the price, but it's still cheaper than wire fence and laughable easy to put up... no tractor, no fence stretcher, all it took was a couple hand tools. I paid Premier 1 for the fence and feel like I owe them a favor!
