IntelliRope® PE 4.5

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (18) Read reviews »

Excellent for both permanent and portable situations because PE filaments resist wear and abrasion. Excellent built-in elasticity. This 4.5mm version is less weight, lower cost and better for short-term fences.

Identical to IntelliRope® PE 6.0 except it has fewer polyethylene (PE) monofilaments.

Good for all sites but particularly for humid climates because polyethylene resists mildew the best. Excellent built-in elasticity.

Cost

Installation
  1. Attach a terminal insulator to end post.
  2. Tie end of the rope to terminal insulator.
  3. Unroll rope along the fence line. (Using Premier's reels makes this easier.)
  4. Insert line posts.
  5. Insert rope in the line posts at the right height(s) for your animals.
  6. Attach insulators (preferably Notched PI 21n) to corner and end posts.
  7. 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
  8. Use one of our reels to rewind and store rope. EzeReels™ can be set on the ground next to fence. MiniReels™ are best hung from the fence.
  9. Install and connect energizer to a ground rod and the fence. Turn on energizer. Check to make sure voltage is over 2000V.

Suggested Height:

For Sheep:
3-strand fence—35", 24", 12"
5-strand fence—36", 27", 20", 13", 7"
For Cattle:
3-strand fence—40", 27", 15"
2-strand fence—34", 22"
1-strand fence—34"
For Horses:
2-strand fence—48", 24"
For Gardens:
2-strand fence—15", 6"

Precautions
If cutting the rope, lightly burn the ends with a lighter or match to avoid unraveling.

*Probable life is not a warranty by Premier. Why not? Because we know that longevity is highly dependent upon, but not limited to, quality of installation, insulator(s) used, rope tension, animal/wind/snow/ice/vegetation pressure and UV exposure (altitude and climate).

This has become the main conductor used on our farms. Much more visible than standard electric wire and easier to install (doesn’t try to “re-wind” itself). Last winter became caught in the fence (as evidenced by the hair left behind) and it broke the rope (a rare occurrence). We were able to mend the break by simply using a RopeLink 2.0. If you’re fencing specifically for horses use the 6mm ( 6mm Rope, EnduraSoft, IntelliBraid)… Read More » or tape conductors.

We use this for our temporary rotation pens and find it easy to handle and durable. A single strand holds our small herd of a dozen including our bull. A three strand pen held our bull all spring with the cows a mere 300 feet away. Conducts well and reliably and is visible and strong.

A pleasure to work with. Wishing it had a couple more hot wires in it but seems to work fairly well. Have bought it 3 times in past 2 years. Love it for installing ease and pleasing to look at.

Great product. Easy to use and my cattle respect the white rope much better than wire or the thinner yellow rope I had used previously. The rope has great strength and visibility.

I have used this 4.5mm rope for several years as a single-strand perimeter for finishing beef. Highly visible and conducts well, the cows respect it when properly energized. I keep it taut with premier p springs, and use rope links for tie offs. A convenient an affordable system.

Good wire. I've found it to last 7 to 10 years. Great for Gates and or temporary paddocks. More visible and stronger than the smaller polywire.
