HORSE SIGHTER PVC COATED 5.20MM X 400M WIRE ONESTEEL WARATAH 133858 at a glance

Horse studs and horse owners are well aware of the problems of horses running into normal wire fences, so Waratah has specially designed Horse sighter wire to improve fence visibility.

UV stabilized PVC coated wire.

Finished size of 5.20mm enclosing a 4.00mm standard galvanized wire

White coating provides improved visibility for horses.

Perfect for use as a top wire with Stocksafe-T prefabricated fence wire.

Diameter: 5.20mm

Length:  400m

Breaking Strain: 6.1kN

Recommended Tension: 2.0kN

Unit: Coil

Run the wire horizontally between posts at heights suitable for your horses—typically 1.2m for the top line and 0.6m for a lower line if you're running two strands. Tension the wire firmly as you go so it doesn't sag, especially in Queensland heat where it'll expand. Secure it to each post with appropriate clips or ties, checking regularly for any slack. Tips: The PVC coating protects the wire from rust and UV, which matters in our climate, but it also makes the wire slightly more visible to horses—that's the point of sighter wire. Don't over-tension on hot days; leave a bit of give so the wire doesn't snap when it cools and contracts. Check your posts are solid and won't shift under pressure, or the whole fence loses its grip.
