Enhance your equine fencing with this 100 m roll of 40 mm MegaHorse Taratape. This bright white woven tape is 40 mm wide and a powerful psychological deterrent to horses. The 15 stainless steel strands ensures high conductivity, 1,610 ohms/km. Designed specifically with horses in mind.
The Taratape MegaHorse is a 100m roll of woven white 40mm polytape with 15 stainless steel conductors for high conductivity, 1,610 ohms/km and strengthening side ribs for longevity.
Horses have relatively poor depth perception and may not always recognise thin wires, braids and tapes. The increased visibility of a white 40mm wide tape helps horses perceive the fence more clearly, reducing the likelihood of collisions and injuries. The soft, flexible nature of polytape reduces the likelihood of cuts, abrasions in cases of accidental contact. Horses quickly learn to respect the fenced boundary, reducing the chance of escape or attempts to challenge the fence. These qualities make MegaHorse Taratape the ideal choice for ensuring the security and well-being of horses while maintaining effective containment at a more affordable price than traditional Equine fencing such as post and rail. Quality manufacture with UV stability.
Advantages of Polytape:
Polytape is typically wider and comes in white , making it highly visible to both horses and humans reducing the likelihood of accidental contact with the fence, improving safety for both animal and owner.
Polytape has more surface area in contact with the air compared to wires and braids, which enhances its conductivity and ensuring a consistent and effective electric shock along the length of the fence, especially in areas with heavy vegetation or poor grounding.
The wider profile of polytape distributes the electric shock over a larger area upon contact, reducing the risk of injury to animals which can be beneficial for animals prone to testing new fences, minimising entanglements.
Polytape can be easier to handle and install compared to wires and braids, especially for those new to electric fencing and is more forgiving when it comes to proper spacing and tension during installation, reducing sagging.
Polytape is typically less prone to stretching compared to wires and braids, helping it maintain tension over longer distances and in varying weather conditions, minimising the need for frequent adjustments or repairs.
