StockGuard recommends usually to set the posts at a maximum of 5 metres apart. This means fewer attachment locations, but more vulnerability to the wind. In windy areas the spacing of the posts will usually need to be closer.

250 metres of tape represents the surface of a 9 metre square sail, which is a lot on a windy day.

The combination of open weave and thickness of StockGuard tape (much thicker than of other brands) allows the wind to pass through the weaving.
Fence tape that flaps in the wind will result in faster wear on the fence. Do not twist the tape to keep it from flapping in the wind.
The more you stretch the tape using our tensioners #36W, the more the tape will resists to the push of violent winds, those pushes creating a repetitiv mecanic friction, ending up destroying the stainless steel filaments that ensure the continuity of the electric flow. The StockGuard insulators will block the tape preventing it from wiggling into them, and thus avoinding wear and tear of the tape.

‘This is THE BEST fencing around and it’s the second property I’m using it for. I live in a very high wind area and have seen other brands dance and flop in our winds but StockGuard barely moves even when the wind blows like a huricane - Great Stuff! Thanks!’’ Soraya B ,Pueblo, CO
