How far apart should I space my Polytape strands?
Spacing between strands would be 13 inches with 3 strands, leaving 24 inches from ground to bottom strand. On 4 strand installations, at 54 inches post height, spacing between strands would be 10 inches, leaving 20 from the ground to the bottom strand. If you are using 5 foot long Safe-Tee-Sleeves over teeposts you may go the full 5 feet or cut of the bottoms to the height you desire. However you should never exceed 15 inch spacing between strands. Boarding facilities should always put up 4 strands at 5 feet high due to the prospect of new animals that may be unfamiliar with electric fence. It also adds aesthetic value and a very secure appearance.
