Description
Soft fence wire, also known as low tensile wire is commonly used in traditional fencing applications.
- Easy to handle and tie.
- Recommended as the fencing wire to use for fencing in valuable livestock, such as Horses. Soft wire offers more ‘give’ in the wire, thus helping to reduce damage to an animal if it comes in contact with the fence wire, unlike the more unforgiving High and Medium Tensile wires that are strained more and hence have less give in the wire. Horse Sighter Wire for instance is a Galvanised Soft wire that is PVC coated, Whites Rural Horse Sighter Wire sight is 4.00mm Galvanised wire with a White PVC coating, the external diameter approx 5.2mm.
- Soft fencing wire is ideal for using in traditional fencing applications with closely spaced posts.
- Heat treatment during manufacture makes Soft wires more suited to use in areas prone to bush fires.
