This is the fence I get. Best price I have found and I have had NO issues with it. It is wonderful. Love it.

A few opinions:
Don't cross streets while looking the other way.
Eat the frozen end of the popsicle... not the wood.
If you fart in an elevator... act like your kid did it.
If an airplane crashes into your house and kills your wife and crushes your nice new big screen tv, the appropriate period of mourning is one week... then you can get a new big screen with the insurance money.
Men touching men inappropriately is only okay when no other men can find out.
If you look into your alphabet soup and see the message, "Repent - Love, God" everytime you shake the bowl... stop eating alphabet soup.
Sex in a public bathroom should always be followed by the appropriate pleasantries: five dollars on the toilet basin, a slap on the ass, and a "See you next week, Chuck."

I prefer the tape. We have used both and have gotten some nasty rope burns/cuts from horses being chased through the rope fence. They dont bother the tape much, but on the occasion that someone ends up going through it they have not been hurt. We use a wide tape (2" I think) on top and a thinner 1'? tape on bottom. If they get caught in the thinner tape it usually breaks, if the insulator clips dont break off first. To me its better that the fence breaks than the horse. That rope does not break, very strong stuff.

We just put up 18 acres in electric tape. More visible to the horses. We used the thicker 2 inch to go through the woods on the top and the smaller on the two bottom lines. The deer see it and go over or through it with no disturbance or breakage to the fence. I would think the polyrope would be close to the high tensile. esp the thin strands. I know of some folks use the polyrope inside wood fence to protect the boards from horses chewing.

I have 4" flex on the top rail, electro braid, 1" flex, electro braid and last 1" flex. So far it is working out fine. I do know of a horse who cut himself bad on braid alone.

Stauffers Feed Mill can get the tape I (Canter-Lope) can get the tape and Elam at Loveville Leather. You can order it on line thru Jeffers or Valley Vet .Hatchers in Huntingtown has it in stock... Have fun it goes up easy and quick You can use wood posts or t posts, that will be the work putting those in the ground.

1/2 inch white tape is best. It's lightweight, durable and very visible from far distance. Because it's light, it does not put much stress on the insulators to pull it tight. It has a clean look and small enough to allow the WIND to pass around it without stressing it. I find it easy to handle, cut and tie when needed. (Try tying the rope or thicker tape - its difficult and looks bad).
