Electric fence tape

[M-5]

I use the tape to section off pasture and a pet peeve of mine is tape just tied to the insulator . I use the same spool in several areas and have insulators on the post that I just leave in place when I move the wire. You can buy these splicers but I get them free from construction sites. They are used to bundle brick and you can pick up 10 to 15 at each site the masons just cut the orange strap and throw them on the ground. I use them to hold my tape in place and you can tighten it without tying it off.

Neat tip, try not to get locked up lurking around construction sites. ;-)

Do you have problems with the tape over time? We bought a roll, and it seems to get shorts in it more often than the rope. We only have a small section left that we use in certain situations... the other problem we have with the tape is that it moves more in the wind, which we get a lot of out here. Sometimes, the temp push in poles wiggle out of the ground from the wind hitting the tape and causing friction...

It's where I get all my lumber and nails! I see no problem with hanging around construction sites. I should say, because of my busy, professional based schedule the only time allotted to this is between 2 and 3 am.

Putting a twist in the tape as you roll it out seems to help it shed the wind somewhat.

Oh Alan--You do understand, that now--you can never again say anything about "that" guy stealing crab legs........
