Tarawire 6 is a conductive twisted poly wire designed for break feeding and temporary fencing. White for improved visibility, 6 stainless steel strands for good conductivity. 5,000 ohms/km. Supplied as a 500m roll. UV stabilised for longevity.
Advantages of Polywire:
Polywire is generally lighter and more compact, making it easier to handle and transport. This can be advantageous as you get more metres on a geared reel.
Polywire is also generally less expensive per metre, which can make it a more cost-effective option for larger fencing projects or for those on a tighter budget.
Polywire is often more durable than polytape, particularly in windy conditions where flapping is reduced or areas prone to damage from animals or vegetation. Its smaller profile and twisted construction can make it less susceptible to damage from abrasion or wear.
While both polywire and polytape are effective conductors of electricity, polywire may offer slightly better conductivity due to its smaller diameter and twisted construction. This can be advantageous in areas with heavy vegetation or if you're using a low-powered energizer.
Polywire is less visible than polytape, making it less obtrusive in the landscape. This can be advantageous if you prefer a less noticeable fence or if you're fencing in an area where aesthetics, are a concern. However, in some cases polytape may be a better choice as it has higher visibility helping to deter animals from testing the fence and making it easier for farm staff to see , reducing the risk of accident contact.
