To install
1. Install end, corner & line posts.
2. Attach insulators to posts.
3. Attach rope to one end post.
4. Clip rope into insulators.
Pull until the P Spring is 50%
compressed. Terminate it.
5. Connect ropes electrically at one
end with an insulated wire or a
Rope-to-Rope Link.
6. Install and connect the
energizer. Voltage should be
over 1500 volts. The fence must
always be properly electrified.
Popular due to its:
• Low cost.
• Ease/speed of installation compared
to vinyl or wood permanent fences.
Consists of up to 5 strands of
electrifiable, long-lasting IntelliRope,
EnduraSoft or IntelliBraid strained
between wooden end and corner posts
and supported by wood or steel line posts.
Spacing of line posts (not more than 35
ft) must be adjusted to the terrain. Always
put a post on top of hills and at the bottom
of valleys.
Vary the spacing of rope strands
according to type and size of horse(s),
fence usage (boundary vs subdivision)
and the number of strands used.
Must always be properly energized. It’s
true horses have long memories. Never
allow them a chance to suspect that a
fence might not be electrified.

Permanent
Uses
• Boundary fence. An attractive, effective,
low-cost option to vinyl and wood fences.
• Subdivide pastures and feeding areas.
Enables feeding and pasturing horses
as individuals. Reduces horse-to-horse
bonding problems.
• To keep horses from hazards.
Examples are feed, stored building
materials and frozen ponds and streams.
• To fence floodplains. Floodwaters flow
through rope fences more readily than
other fences. And rope is easier to repair
if a serious flood occurs.
• To prevent horses in adjacent pens
from having physical access to each
other. Nothing works as well for this as a
high-quality electric fence.
Cost: as low as 45¢ per ft
Factors that affect costs are:
• Choice of energizer.
• Choice of rope.
• Number of strands.
Both mares and their foals quickly learn to respect
a 5-strand electrified rope fence.
