Lighter and Stronger?
Understand the breaking strength of high tensile wire fence versus low carbon wire fencing. Bekaert's Steven Sarson illustrates the differences in this very helpful video.
The lighter weight also means easier handling and installation. Fewer posts are required so you can increase the spacing between posts. If installed properly, high tensile fences:
- Require little maintenance
- Re-tensioning is not necessary
- During installation high tensile fencing requires less tension to make it tight
- The wire is stiffer and will not stretch and sag
- Conversely, this characteristic gives it flexibility
- It will give and bounce back when animals lean against it
