Why should I use high-tensile wire instead of just aluminum wire? Isn’t aluminum wire really sturdy?
High tensile wire is designed to function in two ways: • It can carry a shock and thus is a physiological barrier • It is strong enough to stop the biggest bull (when installed properly) from running through the fence so it also functions as a physical barrier. Aluminum carries an electrical charge about 4 times better than galvanized steel wire, however, when there is tension applied to the aluminum wire it can slowly stretch over time. Fi-Shock offers a high-tensile wire that has been dipped in aluminum so it has the strength of High-Tensile but the electrical charge of aluminum.
