[QUOTE="Jim62, post: 779117, member: 6655"] High tensile 12 ga. wire seems to be the wire of choice for electric fencing. Being as it's such a PITA to work with, what is the advantage to using it over using 14 ga. galvanized steel wire? I've been using the 14 ga. for a long time and have not had any trouble with it as far as breaking, but some of it does rust pretty badly. Seems to not be a brand problem, as much as a batch problem. I usually get Red Brand, and some will last up to 10 -12 years and some is rusted too bad to use after 1 or 2 years. Would the HT be less likely to rust than the 14 ga. galvanized? [/QUOTE]
