Specifications of High Tensile Field Fence

2. The wire is flexible enough to bend, wrap, tie in knots, or to be clamped with crimping sleeves. Tension in the wire is maintained by permanent in-line stretchers or tension springs. The use of high tension in the wire reduces sag in the wire. The higher tension in the wire requires the use of strong end- and corner-brace assemblies.

3. Animal control is perhaps the most widely recognized reason for high tensile field fence. Not only does power fencing keep domestic animals and livestock contained, it has various other important uses, including keeping wild animals out, separating different groups of animals, allowing rationing of crops and pasture and so on.

4. One strand of spring loaded high tensile wire installed with fiberglass stand-offs or insulated wire bracket offsets is used to keep livestock off existing fences making them last longer and control animals better. Offset wires are also used for feeding power to other fencings and for repelling predators.

5. Each wire in a high tensile glassland fence is stretched with 250 pounds of tension. The wires are held along posts or combinations of posts and spacers called battens, stays, or droppers.

6. Three or more strands of high tensile wire are recommended for lots, calves, weaning, and hard to hold cattle.

7. Two strands are perfect for grazing boundaries and cross fencing.

8. All wires are normally charged, but under very dry, very frozen, or very sandy conditions, the second and fourth strands may need to be grounded.

9. Installing stand-offs (with cotter clips) every 50 feet is the strongest low cost way to mount electric fencings on existing fencings or trees.

10. This very economical fence replaces barbed wire fence making it ideal for cattle or horse and easier to handle than woven or barbed wire.

11. Several miles of fence overgrown with weeds and grass can be powered by one high powered fence energizer.
