Product Details
Unique braided 2.25mm dia. polywire preferred by those who unwind and rewind their fences often (e.g. rotational grazing applications.)
- Braided design seldom snags on weeds or twigs
- More flexible than twisted; less likely to kink
- Stronger than twisted, but less elastic

Benefits
2 tinned copper filaments run along the inner core. 4 stainless steel filaments are woven with virgin polyethylene to provide strength to the braid. This allows the copper core to experience less wear and lower the overall resistance of the conductor (50 Ω per 1000 ft).
Same core design as IntelliBraid® Twine PE 3.0 and IntelliBraid® 6.0.
Can be pre-wound onto an EcoReel, EcoReel XL or a SupaReel (Spool Only) or SupaReel (Complete).

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.
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.

I tried a cheaper brand a while back that was supposed to be a super shocker and it broke the first time I tried to use it. I went to the house and ordered more IntelliBraid. Fast shipping and a reliable product.
Jeff W from Oklahoma
Very good wire. Tightly braided and far superior to Gallagher’s turbo wire.
David H from Ohio
This polywire has been great so far. The braided aspect works great. I bought a cheaper twisted version elsewhere and it clearly is lesser quality and the strands separate with any twisting. Braiding is the way to go and this thickness has served well for rotating my cattle. I have a couple reels with a 1320' roll on them each and it is still lightweight enough, but gives lots of spacing options.
Peter C from Wisconsin
I originally bought twisted line (Zareba) from my local farm/hardware supplier, but this braided line is MUCH better! First of, it doesn’t untwist! It holds it’s thickness/strength much better, is far less prone to tangling, reels in and out much better for my rotational grazing setup, and it transmits charge just fine, “splices” easy (just tie a knot). I like it!

Worked great for a project.
