  • California Proposition 65 warning applies to this product

Purpose and audience

This 17 gauge galvanised steel wire is designed for electric fence installations on farms, paddocks and perimeter lines. It suits property owners and contractors who need a continuous 2,640-foot length for containing livestock or marking boundaries.

Outdoor durability and handling

The galvanised finish resists corrosion from rain, humidity and soil contact during normal outdoor exposure. The steel construction provides the tensile strength expected of 17 gauge wire while remaining light enough to unroll and tension by hand or with basic tools.

Behaviour under sustained tension

When kept under constant strain the wire maintains its conductivity and structural integrity across the full 2,640-foot run. It does not stretch excessively or lose its galvanised coating under normal livestock pressure and seasonal temperature cycles.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 17 ga galvanized steel wire and what is the common mistake?

Unroll the 2640 ft spool along the fence line, attach to insulators on each post, and tension evenly; the step often missed is keeping consistent tension so the wire does not sag between posts.

What maintenance or replacement will the 17 ga galvanized steel wire need over time?

Inspect the galvanized finish annually for rust spots, tighten any loose insulator ties, and replace sections where the steel shows corrosion or has been damaged by animals or falling branches.

What limit appears first when the 17 ga wire runs continuously under load?

The 17 ga steel conductor reaches its voltage-drop limit before the 2640 ft length is fully energised, so fence chargers must be matched to the total run to maintain effective shock.
