Fencing
Polytape and Polirope
Pipestone Farm Supply lists polytape products for high-visibility electric fencing. Patriot Politape comes as 1/2 in white tape in 660 ft and 1320 ft rolls and as a 1 1/2 in wide tape in 660 ft; Speedrite offers 1/2 in Politape (660 ft / 200 m) and 1/2 in Extreme Tape in 660 ft and 1320 ft. Tape needs its own hardware, so the page also carries the fittings that hold it: Patriot wide-tape insulators for T-posts, wood posts and rod posts (25-packs), corner and end strain insulators from Patriot and Speedrite (2-packs), a T-post Politape corner strain insulator and a wide-tape-to-wide-tape connector for splicing rolls. Size the energizer to the total run and see the joule guide before you buy. Pick up in Millet or have it shipped Canada-wide.
