[QUOTE="simme, post: 1680119, member: 40418"] Everyone has their prospective based on their experience. Electric HT is strong, but an animal can run through it. Also requires regular maintenance - weeds and grass and vines shorting it out, insulators, lightning damage, electric outages. Old style hinge (wrapped) joint net wire will stretch and won't be functional soon after it goes up. Don't use that style. Fixed knot HT net wire is best for me. The advantages of HT wire in that it is strong and does not stretch. The vertical HT wires every 3, 6 or 12 inches tied to each horizontal strand makes it very strong in the vertical direction, maintains a fixed spacing between the horizontals and resists being pushed down like an accordion like the old hinge joint woven wire. HT fixed knot is like adding a steel stay every few inches to a multi strand HT wire fence - allowing you to increase the distance between posts. [/QUOTE]
