IntelliRope® PE 6.0
Excellent low-tension conductor for both permanent and semi-permanent fences. Virgin polyethylene monofilaments are interwoven with 3 tinned copper and 3 stainless steel conductive filaments.
6mm (1/4") diameter is heavier and stronger than IntelliRope® PE 4.5, but also more expensive.
IntelliRope® BLUE PE 6.0 similar to our standard IntelliRope®, with blue filaments to enhance visibility to animals (who can see shades of blue).

Benefits
Well suited for humid climates because mildew does not thrive on polyethylene (PE). But PE filaments are “slick”—it’s difficult to tie a knot in PE rope. Use a RopeLink or Rope Connector for connections.
Can be pre-wound onto an EzeReel XL (Spool Only) or EzeReel XL (Complete).

Installation Tips
Plug-in (AC) energizers are best if the fence is close to a 110V power outlet. Solar energizers may be a good option for fences far away from an outlet. A wide-impedance energizer such as the Kube 4000 is well-suited for most “4-season” fences—a fence that must work when grass stays brown or snow covers the ground.
Spacing of line posts (not more than 35 ft) 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 & Goats:
- 3-strand fence—35", 24", 12"
- 5-strand fence—36", 27", 20", 13", 7"
- For Cattle:
- 1-strand fence—34"

- 3-strand fence—40", 27", 15"
- For Horses:

- 5-strand fence—60", 48", 36", 24", 12"
- For Deer Exclusion:

- 5-strand fence—50", 40", 30", 20", 10"
- 3D anti-deer fence—inside: 48", 18"; outside: 34"

Just ordered a new roll to make some repairs and build some new fence after tornado damage. This rope is great! Very versatile and portable for changing situations, and I actually use it as permanent fence with three or four strands uncharged for my two horses who do not challenge a fence. We put our existing fence up in 2000 and it is still going strong and is still very visible, showing very little wear or mildew. We also have Endurasoft and that has been excellent as well. Fence has not needed tightening since the first time after installation. We have it installed with p-springs. Premier is a great company.... their products really last way beyond what you can get at the farm supply stores.

So far so good. I have had this fence up for a few weeks and have had my horses in it for a couple of weeks. I put the fence up by myself in the dark with no problem. No trouble getting it hot. It is easy to see, looks clean and neat. Very please so far.
Christina S from New York
Love this fence. Very easy to see horse and person. Durable. Lasts forever. Conducts electricity easily, becomes very hot with good charger. Will always own this for my horse fencing.
Roger H
Easy ordering. Fast delivery. The product has always been A1. Highly recommend Premier 1. The last thing we ordered was the white electric fencing and it is very superior.
Lisa S from Alabama
On the recommendation of a friend, I selected IntelliRope PE 6.0 for my fencing. I am so glad I did. The value and quality are outstanding! The rope was easy to work with and my entire permiter fence was installed with the help of friends. I love the clean look and the horses have no problems seeing the fence. I have a four strand perimeter fence and some 3-strand semi-permanent cross fencing. I highly recommend this product!
