Soft Wire
Traditionally used where fence post spacings are closer or where the fence is electrified and the strained wire is not as integral in preventing stock penetration as with high tensile.
Economical galvanised products are available and offer an alternative that can be confidently used where corrosive elements are low. A select range is available in this coating.
