IntelliRope® PE 4.5

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (33) Read reviews »

4.5mm (3/16") electrifiable rope for 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.

We offer a wide-range of electrifiable ropes, twines and tapes to fit your situation. Visit this link to compare all Premier conductors.

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.

IntelliRope® PE 4.5 can be pre-wound onto:

Cost
Approximate cost: 6¢ per foot

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 really like IntelliRope for its visibility yet it’s minimally affected by wind compared to tape.

As always, a superior product from Premier 1. There is no need to price shop it’s the farm stores because I always know I am getting the best and most compatible products here. Instructions and superior customer service make any minor price difference well worth it. I used this wire for a temporary fence to try a track system in our horse pasture. It is more cost effective than the thicker rope we have around the perimeter and does a great job and is easier to roll up and store when not in use. I think it would still be an excellent choice for the perimeter fence if we need to replace it sometime in the future but it is 14 years old and still working great!

I have used the poly tape and buckle connectors from the local farm store for years. Thought I would try this poly rope with RopeLink connectors.

These are SO much better. I won’t be going back to the others.

Just finished installing the rope. Looks nice and much more visible than I had used before.
