CORRAL fencing aluminum wire 1.8mm 400m
Aluminum fence wire, 1.8 mm on a 400 m roll, for permanent electric fence runs where conductivity over distance is the deciding factor.
Details
Aluminum wire is what you run when the fence is long and it is staying. At 1.8 mm, about 0.07 inch, on a 400 m roll of roughly 1,312 feet, this is permanent fence conductor rather than temporary line. The reason to use aluminum instead of steel is conductivity. Aluminum carries a fence pulse better than galvanized steel of the same diameter, so on a long run the voltage at the far end stays closer to what the energizer is putting out. On a place where a single line might go a mile or more before it turns a corner, that difference is the whole argument. Aluminum is also lighter to handle and it does not rust. The trade-off is that it is softer than steel, so it will not take the same brute tension and it work-hardens if you keep bending it in one spot. Run it with in-line tensioners rather than trying to pull it drum-tight, and let the tensioners take up the seasonal movement. Between frost lifting posts and a sixty-degree swing from a minus thirty winter to a plus thirty summer, every wire on this side of the country needs somewhere to go.
