Thunderbird Wide Thundertape WHITE 40mm wide x 200m roll

The Thunderbird Wide Thundertape White is a 40mm wide electric fence tape in a 200m roll. This wide tape is designed for horse and equine fencing applications where visibility is essential, providing a highly visible white barrier that horses can clearly see and learn to respect.

First and foremost, the 40mm wide fence tape is significantly more visible than standard 12mm or 20mm tapes, making it the preferred choice for horse paddock and arena fencing. Furthermore, the white colour provides excellent contrast against green grass and natural backgrounds. As a result, horses are less likely to test or push through the fence line, reducing the risk of injury to horse and fencer. In addition, the 200m roll provides ample length for a complete paddock or arena perimeter without joins.

This product includes conductive strands for connection to the energiser. Browse our complete Thunderbird electric fence tape range for all widths and roll lengths.

Why Choose the 40mm Wide Fence Tape?

First and foremost, the 40mm width is the industry standard for horse paddock fencing, providing a visual barrier that is highly effective at keeping horses contained without physical contact. Furthermore, the white Thundertape is recognised and respected by horses that have been previously trained with electric fence systems. As a result, this tape delivers reliable containment performance with minimal energiser pulse needed. In addition, the Thunderbird Thundertape range is UV-stabilised for long-term outdoor durability in Australian conditions. According to the Australian Department of Agriculture, appropriate fencing materials are important for horse welfare and property security.

Tips for Installing Wide Fence Tape

Before rolling out, check for sufficient energiser output to maintain effective voltage over the full 200m run. Then, thread the tape through insulators at the correct height for your horse breed and paddock type. In addition, keep the tape taut to prevent sagging that reduces visibility and allows horses to step over the wire. Finally, use wide tape insulators specifically rated for 40mm tape for a secure, rattle-free installation.
