How do they work

The tape is electrified, similar to the well known farmers’ “hot wire”. But in
contrast with the thin “hot wire”, the tape is large and visible by horses.

The electric fence tape is powered by a fence charger, which produces constant current pulses.

For the Traditional fence tape you
need a ground rod and a moist soil (good conductor),
because the electricity must complete a full circle back to the
charger, through the humidity of the ground.

For the Bi-Polar fence tape you
don’t need a ground rod even with a sandy, snowy or rocky soil (bad conductors)
because we have put the two lines plus (+) and minus (-) on the same tape
and the fence will work whatever the ground conditions are!

In both cases when the horse touches the tape
he connects himself for a fraction of a second!
Thereafter when the fence is electrified, after that painful
experience the horse will remember and respect that barrier!
