There are several types of electric fence wire including polytape, polywire/polyrope, steel and aluminum. Each of these types have certain benefits and are ideally suited to particular uses.
»Polytape Wire
Polytape is most often used around horses to help the animal see the electric fence and thus avoid contact with it. Woven into the polytape are wires called conductors. One differentiating point with polytape is the number of conductors that are woven into the product.
Another feature to consider is the type of metal from which the conductors are made. Aluminum wire will stretch over time and the fence will look sloppy. Conductors made from stainless steel will hold its tensile and thus last longer.
Fi-Shock® Polytape comes in three different widths including ½ inch, 1 inch and 2 inch. The Fi-Shock® ½ inch has 5 strands, the 1 inch has 8 strands and the 2 inch has 14 strands. Fi-Shock® conductors are made from stainless steel to hold its tensile and thus last longer.
Benefits
Offers high visibility to animals
Lightweight and convenient to use
Easier to install, repair and splice than metal wire
Ultraviolet stabilizers prevent the plastic from breaking or stretching

Ideal Uses
Perfect for equine fencing
Ideal for temporary fencing where animals are rotated for grazing purposes
Excellent for controlled grazing
»Polywire/Polyrope Wire
Polywire and polyrope are also used in electric horse fencing to help the horse or animal see the electric fence and thus avoid contact with it. As with polytape, wires called conductors are woven into the polywire and polyrope. It is important to consider the type of metal from which the conductors are made.
Aluminum wire will stretch over time, resulting in a sloppy-looking fence. Conductors made from stainless steel will help the fence hold its tensile and thus hold its shape and last longer.
Fi-Shock® conductors are made from stainless steel. The smallest diameter polywire has 6 strands of electrical conductors while all other diameter polywire has 9 conductors.
Benefits
