Features and
Benefits |
| |
|
Finish-Line fencing is seven times
lighter than similar diameter wire. Each
25 lb. Finish-Line spool has a runnage
of 2000 linear feet, compared to 286
feet per 25 lb. coil of steel wire. |
|
|
This weight savings means
easier handling and guarantees lower
shipping costs.
|
|
|
Finish-Line maintains its appearance
year after year. |
|
|
Finish-Line Fencing, once properly
tensioned, does not sag.
Finish-Line fencing has 24% elongation
and will bounce back to its original
shape when tested with weight bearing
objects. |
|
| Wire
fences, vinyl fences, and other
conventional fences do not have the
ability to bounce back and quickly sag,
resulting in poor appearance and higher
maintenance time and costs. |
|
|
Finish-Line fencing does not fray when
broken, resulting in increased safety to
horse and rider. |
|
|
Finish-Line Fencing tends to spring
clear of a tangled animal rather than
tightening its grip. |
|
|
Finish-Line Fencing is resistant to
chemical sprays, phosphates, herbicides,
and rotting. Herbicide control of grass
growth at fence base is now possible,
reducing the risk of fire damage to
fence materials. |
|
|
Finish-Line Fencing is resistant
to salt water, making it ideal
in all areas subject to
flooding. Finish-Line is
particularly adventageous in
coastal regions due to its
non-corrosive properties.

Things to avoid
when using Finish-Line Fencing
|
| |
| To
obtain the best results for Finish-Line
Fencing, please remember: |
|
|
1.
Don't run Finish-Line Fencing through
metal posts or starpickets, unless the
Finish-Line is protected from coming
into contact with the post. |
|
|
2.
Don't forget when running Finish-Line
Fencing through posts, always use a
protective sleeve. |
|
|
3.
Don't rely solely on a standard fence
with foals; dropper or spacers are a
must. |
|
|
4.
Don't overtension Finish-Line Fencing.
Use 3% extension. |
|
|
5.
Don't forget, just one strand of
Finish-Line Fencing as a sighter wire is
an excellent way of safeguarding horses. |
|
|
6.
The use of at least one line of
electric fence enhances safety
of horses. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
With foals, an additional
run of electric is recommended.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Finish-Line stretches on
impact, but does not sag.
