FAQs What’s the difference between polywire, polytape, polybraid, and galvanised wire? Polywire is a lightweight plastic wire with embedded metal strands, ideal for temporary or portable fencing (e.g., strip-grazing), suitable for cattle, sheep, goats, and deer. Polytape features wider “ribbon-like” construction for increased visibility—great for perimeter fences—but less wind-resistant than braid. Polybraid is sturdier and more wind-resistant than tape, reducing tangles . Galvanised/steel electric wire is robust and corrosion-resistant, best suited for permanent, long-term fencing (including predator barriers). < All FAQs
