Electric Fencing - Standard Wire vs. Electro Braid	Can't Post

Hello -

I'm looking to install electric wiring with my 3-rail PVC around my horse corral. The fence manufacture, Gardner Fence, has supplied me with some pictures of fencing that has Electro Braid wire installed (see attached). I've purchased standard wire but like the looks of this configuration - does anyone know the durability of the Electro Braid and whether it wlll hold up as well as the standard wire does? Also - is this Electro Braid the same as Polywire?

I live in MN and I'm looking for something that can handle the weather. I believe I will definately put in a 2 wire configuration (top two rails), but having something durable will be key.

Thanks for your help and insight -

-Bob

Merry xmas romonio, don't have lots of experience w/electric fence but am in market for a little on frontage road fence.....I'm down in SET(southeast Texas) & don't have the same hard winters as you do. The rancher behind us use the single strand of stainless(I guess) wire with small rebar post...it seems to hold up great...He has a insulate latch at corner...... There is some sort of insulator on each post & I know that there are insulators for T-post too... that's what I'm thinking about using....Maybe we'll get some feed bac on the other type...If not YOU may try the other sister sites... tractorbynet.com & countrybynet.com...they get lots of traffic
