Curticat Electric Fence

For installation of roller insulators at corner posts, trees, etc.  Ensures there will be no pull-out under high tension, and works well on trees where the surface is not flat, and screws are not secure.

Hookup wire is always necessary, but you may choose to use a lower price product.  This wire is great because of it’s flexibility, and the fact that it is copper.  The fencing braid is also copper, so it makes a compatible connection to the hook-up wire without the use of a dissimilar metal transition connector, often called a neutral plate connector, or hook-up connector. Additionally, many products on the market for this purpose are solid core (not stranded) and very stiff and difficult to work with.

Copper split bolt connectors with cable ties. To splice and terminate braid and for electrical connections.

Line Post Insulators may be used rather than the more costly Roller Insulators, for line posts, or simply to insulate the braid from coming into contact with anything that might otherwise ground it, such as the cross beam of an H-Braced Corner Post.
They are available in either black or white for the same price.

ElectroBraid™ rope is made from high quality braided polyester fibers that won’t unravel or break. The high strength braid protects the copper wire conductors that are formed in helical coils like springs to allow for bend and stretch.  The copper wires won’t break up to 1,000 pounds tension.

The tension kit is a required tool for tensioning the Braid. Note: Never use machinery to tension the Braid.

Copper Ground Rod and Ground Wire Clamp.
Used to ground the system along with copper hook-up wire.

The roller style insulators are easy to install with either 2.5 in screws (Shown), or with the webbing and nails (or 1.5″ screws) for additional freedom of movement and better pull-out strength at corners and end-posts.  The roller separates from the bracket to allow insertion of the Electrobraid rope without the need for a free end.  The free floating roller design also makes tensioning easy, even around corners.
