Lightweight 3mm (9 gauge/.12" dia.) braided polywire for portable livestock fences.
- Slightly thicker than standard 2.25mm twine, so it’s more visible to animals and humans
- Braided design is more flexible than twisted rope; winds easily on reels
- Tinned copper filaments for maximum conductivity

Installation
Properly energized fences last longer and require less maintenance—because animals do not crowd, rub or scratch on them. Confirm voltage is at least 3000V at the end of the fence line.
Tree limbs that fall upon the fence must be removed immediately. For instant in-field repairs, use a 3mm Litzclip®.
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 Gardens:
- 2-strand fence—15", 6"
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.
