Description

Thunderbird Thunderbraid EF-47AB 550m – 400m + 150m

The Thunderbird Thunderbraid EF-47AB is a premium electric fence braid designed for horse paddocks, hobby farms, and rural properties where a highly visible, electrifiable boundary is required. This value pack includes 400m plus a 150m bonus roll, giving you a total of 550m of fence braid to cover large areas with fewer joins. The woven braid construction integrates stainless steel conductive strands, allowing it to carry a reliable electric charge from your energiser.

Unlike plain wire, this fence braid is significantly more visible to horses and livestock, reducing the risk of animals charging through or becoming entangled. The wide profile of the braid catches the eye in all lighting conditions, making it particularly effective for horse containment where visibility is a safety priority. It is also more elastic than wire, stretching on contact rather than snapping, which lowers the risk of injury if livestock do make contact with the fence line.

Why Choose Thunderbraid for Horse Fencing?

First and foremost, this fence braid offers a wide, highly visible profile that horses respond to better than plain wire. Furthermore, the woven stainless steel strands maintain consistent conductivity along the full 550m length, ensuring your energiser delivers an effective deterrent charge. As a result, livestock remain safely contained without relying solely on physical barrier strength. In addition, the 400m + 150m pack format means you can fence a large paddock perimeter with minimal connections. According to the Australian Department of Agriculture, effective livestock containment is key to animal welfare and property management outcomes.

Installation Tips for Thunderbraid

Before installing, plan your fence line and confirm the number of posts and insulators required. Then, unreel the braid carefully to avoid kinks, attaching it to insulators at each post as you go. In addition, tension the braid firmly enough to keep it taut without overstretching the conductive strands. Finally, connect the braid to your energiser using appropriate lead-out cable and test the output voltage with a fence tester to confirm the circuit is live and effective.
