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
Approximate cost per ft is 6¢

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.

The thing I like most about this product is the price. It's about half that of any competitor that I have found, and better quality than many of those.

We run miles of electric fencing, and I have strip grazed using various electric tapes and ropes for many years. To be honest, most of these conductors are pretty robust and will take a little abuse. Intellirope is no exception, and it is more tightly spun than some of the competitiors, which makes it very easy to work with. We use some for fences that are moved monthly, and some for a "permanent" fence, and it's doing a great job in both applications.

My only quibble would be on visibility. The riope is predominantly white, and the black strand does not stand out as well as a 50-50 contrasting combination would.

This was my first experience working with electric fencing material - this rope was very easy to work with and seemed to be plenty strong.

The Intellirope PE was the key to my fencing out deer. The rope is strong and workable
