Gallagher Polywire Electric Fence Wire 1,640ft (500m) — 6 Stainless Steel Strands, UV-Resistant

Gallagher 1,640ft Polywire is a heavy-duty electric fence wire made from six stainless steel strands woven into UV-resistant poly for reliable livestock containment.

This Gallagher polywire pack includes a 1,312ft roll plus a 328ft bonus roll (total 1,640ft / 500m) engineered for portable and permanent pasture fencing. The wire’s six interwoven stainless steel conductors deliver low-resistance conductivity while the polymer jacket resists UV damage and abrasion, so it stays flexible season after season. Lightweight and compatible with standard reels, it’s suited to rotational grazing, temporary paddocks, and perimeter lines for horses, cattle, sheep and goats.

How does this polywire maintain reliable conductivity over distance?

The six stainless steel strands give the wire a low-resistance path that preserves charge better than single-strand or aluminium mixes. For very long lines you can pair it with higher-conductivity booster products to extend the effective range without adding tension or complexity.

• Six interwoven stainless steel conductors for consistent current flow
• Low resistance supports effective energizer output up to practical run lengths
• Works with higher-conductivity turbo wires when longer distances are required

Is Gallagher polywire easy to install, move and maintain?

Yes — the polywire is light and flexible so you can string, reel, cut and splice it quickly by hand or with standard fencing tools. The polymer sheath resists becoming brittle, so the line stays workable after seasons of sun exposure and repeated handling.

• Fits all common electric fence reels and hand reels for fast deployment
• Can be cut, joined or repaired on-site without special fittings
• Reusable across seasons — rewindable and packable for portable systems

Will this wire resist corrosion and outdoor wear?

The stainless steel strands are chosen to limit rust and maintain conductivity over time, outperforming wires that use aluminium or untreated metals. The outer polymer coating adds mechanical protection and UV stability so the line doesn’t crack or weaken with sunlight and weather exposure.

• Stainless steel cores resist oxidation compared with aluminium alternatives
• UV-stabilized polymer jacket prevents brittleness and surface degradation
• Durable against abrasion from posts, insulators and livestock contact

How much fencing coverage do I get and how is it packaged?

This package supplies 1,640ft (500m) total: one 1,312ft (400m) primary roll plus a 328ft (100m) bonus roll. The dual-roll format gives flexibility for creating multiple portable paddocks or topping up an existing line without buying another full spool.

• Total length: 1,640ft (500m) split into 400m and 100m rolls
• 1/16" (approx.) diameter for a balance of strength and light weight
• Pack designed for cost-effective coverage across small to medium pastures

Who is this for: Farmers, horse owners, ranchers and smallholders who need a dependable, reusable electric fence line for rotational grazing, temporary paddocks or perimeter control. It’s particularly suitable when you want a low-weight, corrosion-resistant polywire that’s simple to reel out and store, and when you value stainless-steel conductivity for consistent fence performance.
