Electric fence tape

Tape fence is a very safe type of conductor because it is the best visible electric fence conductor, and because it also breaks relatively easily in the event of a breakthrough, significantly decreasing the risk of injury. Suitable for mobile and permanent fences. Available in different sizes and colours. Fence tape offers great visibility, durability, and voltage.

Types of Electric Fence Tape

Electric fence tape, also known as shock tape, is woven plastic with conductive metal wires. There are several colours and qualities available on the market. It is highly visible for horses, has good durability, breaks easily, and does not cause cuts, abrasions, or burns.
