The Tensioner
Tensioner for 4 cm and 2 cm Electric Fence Tape
This heavy-duty tensioner is designed for securing and tightening electric fence tape at fence ends, gates, and corners.
Includes:
-
Brown plastic base and cover
-
2 coach screws
-
1 stainless-steel loop
-
2 plastic clips
Installation:
Mount on posts at least 7 cm in diameter — strong enough to withstand the high tension applied by the tape.
Why It’s Essential:
The 36V Tensioner does exactly what its name suggests: it fixes and tensions your tape, which is crucial for the longevity of your electric fence.
Use it every time the tape is interrupted, including:
-
At tape ends: To firmly secure and tension the tape, extending its lifespan. Even with our highly ventilated tape, sagging caused by lack of tension will eventually cut through the plastic and stainless-steel wires.
-
At gates: Install one tensioner on each side of the gate, for each tape height. This keeps the entire fence tight and prevents it from loosening every time the gate is opened.
-
At corners (every 100 m or more): Makes re-tensioning much easier compared to using a simple 45V corner insulator.
Extra Benefits:
-
The stainless-steel loop reconnects all the tape’s conductors, boosting the fence’s conductivity and efficiency.
-
You can also attach the 59T power cable connector directly to it for a reliable current feed.
Compatible with All Types of Posts:
-
Wooden posts: Supplied with 2 stainless-steel coach screws (Ref. 36V)
-
Metal posts: Supplied with 2 bolts + nuts and 2 cable ties (Ref. 36C)
-
T-posts: Can be riveted (rivets not included), bolts + nuts supplied (Ref. 36B)
⚠️ Important: Make sure your posts are strong enough to withstand the tension applied by the entire fence system — all tension is transferred to the end posts, gates, and corners
