How to Use
- Switch off and isolate the energiser before working on any electric fence line.
- Identify the slack section of tape or strap that needs tightening.
- Fit the tensioner in line with the fence tape, following the layout of your existing fencing system.
- Adjust gradually until the tape is firm and straight, without overstretching it.
- Check that the tape runs cleanly through insulators and is not twisted.
- Reconnect the energiser and re-check tension after strong winds or frost.
FAQ
What does a fencing tape tensioner do?
It lets you tighten electric fence tape or strap at a single point, so a sagging run can be pulled taut again without taking the whole fence down.

Polypropylene and ABS, in black. It measures 100 x 50 x 60mm and weighs 425g.
Will it work with my electric fence tape?
