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).
