Zareba 2" Poly Tape Electric Fence 2 x 500' White — 14 Conductive Strands, 890 lb Break Load

This white 2-inch poly tape comes as two 500-foot (152 meter) spools designed to make temporary and permanent electric fences easier to see, install, and maintain. Unlike solid metal wire, the woven poly tape combines visibility with embedded conductors so animals are more likely to detect the boundary. The construction resists rust and simplifies splicing and repairs, making it a practical choice for paddocks, pastures, and rotational grazing systems.

Why choose poly tape instead of conventional wire?

Poly tape stands out because it balances visibility and conductivity. Horses and many other animals notice the wider, white surface more readily than thin wire, which reduces accidental contact. The embedded 14 strands of conductors ensure reliable electrical continuity while the polymer outer material stays flexible and corrosion-resistant.

• 14 conductive strands woven into the tape for consistent shock delivery
• 2-inch width improves visibility for horses and livestock
• Polymer jacket resists rust and environmental degradation
• Two 500' spools allow longer runs or backup roll on hand

How strong and durable is this tape for everyday fencing?

The tape is built to withstand routine tensioning and field use, with a tested breaking load of 890 pounds. Its construction tolerates stretching and handling during installation, and it will not rust like metal-only wire. Still, proper installation with tension limits and secure end fittings helps maximize lifespan and performance.

• 890 lb breaking load suitable for typical livestock boundaries
• Poly outer layer resists moisture and corrosion
• Flexible for wrapping around insulators and posts without fatigue
• Designed for repeated use across seasons with minimal maintenance

What makes installation and repairs easier with this product?

Compared with stranded metal wire, the wide poly tape is simpler to handle: it lays flat, is easy to see, and is easier to splice or knot when making repairs. The woven conductors are accessible for crimp connectors, and common fencing tools can quickly secure ends and attachments. That reduces downtime when replacing sections or extending lines.

• Laid-flat design speeds unwinding and attachment to posts
• Woven conductors accommodate crimp connectors and splices
• Lightweight rolls are easier to carry and position on fence lines
• Two-roll package provides immediate spare material for repairs

Can this tape be used with my existing energizer and setups?

Yes — the Zareba 2" poly tape is compatible with most standard electric fence energizers when installed properly. Maintain correct connections, appropriate energizer output, and recommended clearances to ensure safety and effective deterrence. Use suitable insulators and post spacing to avoid shorting out on vegetation or fence hardware.

• Works with battery, solar, and mains energizers rated for electric fences
• Requires proper insulators to prevent grounding and shorts
• Accepts standard connectors and crimps for reliable electrical contact
• Two 500' rolls provide flexibility for multiple runs or parallel strands

Who is this for: Farmers, horse owners, and land managers who need a visible, weather-resistant electric fencing material for paddocks, temporary cross-fencing, or perimeter control will find this two-pack of 2" x 500' Zareba poly tape practical. It suits users who want straightforward installation, easier field repairs, and a corrosion-resistant alternative to all-metal wire, while preserving the conductivity needed for effective electric boundaries.
