Product Description

Galvanized High Tensile (HT) Wire, 1.6mm diameter, is a strong, zinc-coated steel wire used for electric fencing, livestock containment, and general perimeter security. Made from high-carbon steel and hot-dip or double galvanized for rust resistance, it's the standard running/weaving wire used with W-Posts, strainer posts, and line insulators to build a complete electric fence system.

Key Features

  • High tensile strength — resists stretching, sagging, and breaking under tension or animal/impact pressure
  • Galvanized (zinc-coated) finish for strong corrosion and rust resistance, even in wet or coastal climates
  • High electrical conductivity — carries current efficiently from the energizer along the full fence line
  • Flexible yet strong — the 1.6mm gauge balances strength with ease of handling during installation
  • Shiny, smooth finish — doubles as a "weaving" wire for mesh and general fencing reinforcement
  • Weather-resistant — withstands sun, rain, and temperature swings without significant degradation
  • Moisture-protected packaging — coils/rolls are wrapped to prevent rust before installation.
