Okay, after I got injured my garden laid fallow for three or four years and my wonderful gardening buddy put in this year that I needed to get it going again. Something about "them zipper cream peas are money in the bank!" he kept mumbling. Anyhow, after a MASSIVE garden clearing which included fire and lots and lots of digging and pulling dog fennel...the garden was cleared. But, over the last few years of neglect, abuse, and...fire, some of the five strands of polywire needed replacing. When I first put up the fence I used standard Gallagher polywire. Over the years some got damaged, etc., and needed replacing. I checked Tractor Supply and they had a "Farm Works" brand that they offered. Being as I needed "something" I bought some of the TSC polywire to patch up the bad places with. Well, in looking at the polywire this year I can see a marked difference in durability between the "Farm Works" and the Gallagher polywire. Both supposedly have 6 strands of SS wire in them. The big difference that I (as a mere mortal) could see was in the supporting plastic strands. The plastic strands in the TSC stuff was crumbling and breaking while the plastic in the 7 year old Gallagher polywire looked much, much better. I knew then that I was going back with Gallagher...big, BIG difference!!! Anyhow, I replaced three entire runs of wire and intend to replace the other two and add another, thus decreasing the spacing between wires a couple of inches. As for the old Gallagher that I'm taking off, I'm cutting out any bad sections, tying ends together and rolling it up on a plastic roll for repair/emergency use. I mean, what I'm saving is still good...I just want to get the fence back into prime shape again with the highest "shock effect" possible for the cute little Bambi's around here. ;) Go with Gallagher...you won't regret it but the deer will!!!! LOL ;)

We’ve been using this fence for a little over a year now to divide pastures and it works perfectly. It’s thin but still the livestock respects it. It’s also easy to put up

I like to garden but hate all the slugs. After much research, it appears a common way to keep slugs out of a raised-bed garden was by putting an electrified "fence" around it. My first attempt was using galvanized electric fence wire. It was difficult to attach (compatible metals and all that) and it didn't lay flat against the wood frame. Then I saw this and had to try it.I attached two parallel lines using insulated staples. At first I thought the wire would be too thick but it wasn't. I was able to maintain about 3/8" gap between the two lines. The wire is attached to a solar rechargeable battery so the fence works at night.There were no slugs in the garden this whole growing season! Plus I don't see any deterioration of the wire. The roll is so large, if I need to replace one of the lines there is plenty to go around (many times!). Couldn't be happier.

Purchased this in 2017 for permanent electric fence line for horses. This summer it appears to begun to fail with little charge being sent through. My solid wire is able to carry full charge where this one no longer carries more than 4000v volts. Might be user error with splicing but looks like I'll be replacing the rope wire this year. Overall, while the rope is very small, I think this is a good product but will be trying other brands to compare with.

Easy to use. Pair of scissors acted as an axle for the spool.Good zap.It does sag quite a bit after installing, so I needed to walk the fenceline a few times already, looping over the insulators here & there to tighten it up. I learned about the sagging when I tested on the day after install and had no zap - ot had sagged and gotten wrapped up in some barbed wire, causing a short.... And no zap.

I am fairly new to the world of electric fencing. I've watched a bunch of Youtube videos and asked for advice from people in the real world and online. The main shopping outlets here sell more cheaply made equipment. But out of curiosity and because I had some new areas I needed to completely re-do, I went ahead and tried out several Gallagher products including this one. Wow, everything they do is just much better quality than what I was finding in the stores. And this particular wire is nice and light and very easy to work with. It doesn't sag whip around in the wind like tape electric does.

I really like this product it's hard to find in my area and I'm glad Amazon sells it. I'm using it to separate my paster into smaller lots for my older horses. I also use it camping with my horses so that they don't have to stand tied I make a little lot with step in posts it's lightweight easy to put up ,easy to take down and when it does break it's very easy to repair and I've had no problems with charge weaking even with several breaks ( deer keep going through the fence). My horses respect the fence because they can see it better than the electric wire fence I used to use. To solve the problem with the deer I tied white tape on the fence and that seems to be working.
