Description:Two basic types of Fencing Wires are used in Australia. Whites Wires fence is produced using the best feed wire available. Soft Fencing Wire the most popular sizes are 3.15 and 4.00mm suitable for most applications, being relatively soft, are easy to use and tie. Generally are standard galvanised. High Tensile Fencing Wire the most popular size is 2.50mm are more economical than soft wires, providing for long strains and wider post spacing. However they are more difficult for the novice fencer to handle . Standard galvanised wire is used for most applications Back to top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Galvanised Soft Fencing Wire Dia mm Coil Length Metres App Wt Kg Recommended Tension Min Breaking Forces Suggested Uses 4.00 3.15 500 600 49 47 1.8kN (400lb) 1.6kN (300lb) 4.8kN(1080lb) 3.8kN(860lb) Rural fencing, especially horses Most popular fence wire, also as used as a support wire for netting and chain wire fences 2.50 1200 50 0.6kN (135lb) 1.8kN (400lb) Brush fencing, support wire for chain wire fences, heavy duty tie wire. 5.20 400 43 2.0kN (450lb) 6.1kN(1370lb) White PVC coated for horse fencing or when added visibility for fences is required.

Straining Fence Wires: The minimum breaking force figures denotes the force required to break each type of wire. Before the wire breaks, a point is reached when its elastic limit is exceeded and a permanent stretch is left in the wire. The general guide for inexperienced fencers is to have the wire taut but not "spring tight". The fence wire can always be tightened if the tension is too slack - often required on new fences when strainer assemblies settle - but if its overstrained, animals hitting the fence can cause permanent stretch.
