Designed to Reduce Wind Resistance

HorseGuard recommends usually to set the posts at a maximum of 16 ft apart.
This means fewer attachment locations, but more vulnerability to the wind.
In windy aeria the spacing of the posts can vary between 8ft up to 12 ft.

820 ft of tape represents the surface of a 100 sq. ft sail,
which is a lot on a windy day.

Do not twist the tape to prevent it from flapping in the wind.
What Horseguard has done to counteract the strong winds problem
and increase the longevity of your fence since we invented the tape was
- To drastically increase the thickness of the filaments
(metal and polyethylene) creating a very sturdy tape and a combination of
open weave allowing the wind to pass through the weaving.
- Set the line posts between 8 to 16 ft.
- Recommend putting tensioners at corners and gate
to exert a strong tension of the tape!
The more you stretch the tape using our tensioners #36, the more the tape will resist
to the push of violent winds, those pushes create a friction, ending up destroying
the stainless steel filaments that ensure the continuity of the electric flow.
The HorseGuard insulators will block the tape preventing it from wiggling into them,
and thus avoiding wear and tear of the tape.

"This is THE BEST fencing around and it’s the second property I’m using it for. I live in a very high wind area and have seen other brands dance and flop in our winds but HorseGuard barely moves even when the wind blows like a huricane - Great Stuff! Thanks!"
