Designed to Reduce Wind Resistance

HorseGuard recommends to set the posts at a maximum of 16 ft apart.
In windy areas the spacing of the posts can vary between 8 ft up to 12 ft.

What Horseguard has done to counteract the strong winds problem and increase the longevity of your fence since we invented the tape was:

• To drastically increase the thickness of the filaments (metal and polyethylene) creating a very sturdy tape and a combination of open weave.






• To recommend PUTTING TENSIONERS AT CORNERS AND GATES to exert a strong tension of the tape! Unless the tape is very tight it will flex in the wind, eventually snapping the stainless steel filaments and breaking the electric flow.
• To recommend the USE OF HORSEGUARD INSULATORS that secure the tape preventing it from wiggling into them, and thus avoiding wear and tear.
• DO NOT RECOMMEND TO TWIST THE TAPE to prevent it from flapping in the wind it will end up cutting the stainless steel threads.

I have used your product for many years and I continue to be satisfi ed with it. We just had two major storms with 60 MPH winds. Our round bale feeder fl ew into the fence, and it held!! All we had to do was tighten things up a bit. Thank you for a great product.
