What types of horse fence does Horse Fence Direct carry?
They stock high tensile wire fence, flexible rail fencing, coated wire, braided electric rope, monofilament strand fence, electric fence systems and chargers, posts and accessories. Brand lines include Centaur®, CenFlex®, Centaur® HTP®, Hot-Rail, PolyPlus HTP, White Lightning, ElectroBraid™, Bayco® Finish-Line and Gallagher. This gives owners both electric and non-electric options across a range of budgets.
What is CenFlex fence made of?
CenFlex® HTP® is a 5″ fence rail using three 12.5-gauge galvanized high-tensile steel wires embedded in a tough HTP® Polymer coating. It comes on a 660′ roll and is designed to install faster than wood and rigid PVC. The company says it will never splinter, rust, rot or crack.
How strong is CenFlex and how long is it warranted?
CenFlex 5″ flexible rail has a breaking strength of 4050 lbs per rail and carries a 20-year limited warranty. Because each rail installs in one continuous length, an impact is absorbed by the entire length of the fence instead of concentrating at a single point. CenFlex 5″ Flexible Rail is priced at $330.00 to $550.00, roughly $0.75 per foot plus accessories.
How is Centaur HTP different from CenFlex?
Centaur® HTP® is created from a blend of virgin polymers embedded with three strands of 12.5-gauge wire and gives the traditional look of board fence without the high maintenance costs. Like CenFlex it is a 5″ rail with 4050 lbs of breaking strength, but it steps up to a 30-year warranty. Centaur HTP rail is priced from $354.00 to $663.00.
What post spacing is recommended for flexible rail fence?
Horse Fence Direct recommends post spacing at 8′, 10′ or 12′ intervals for flexible rail. The continuous-length rail design lets the fence flex and absorb impact between posts. Their staff can advise on the right spacing for your terrain and herd.
What is ElectroBraid and how does it work?
ElectroBraid™ is a permanent electric fence designed especially for horses that works as both a physical barrier and a psychological deterrent. It delivers an extremely low-amperage shock for 3/10,000 of a second, once a second, so that once a horse receives a painful shock it will not go near the fence again. The rope itself has a 1,300 lb break strength and is resilient enough to absorb the impact of a galloping horse without breaking.
What is ElectroBraid rope made of?
ElectroBraid is made from high-grade polyester rope — the same fiber used in automotive seat belts and parachute harnesses — with a double helix of copper wire conductors braided into the outer jacket. Each strand is ¼ inch in diameter and is available in white, black or speckled colors. Copper is used because it is 70 times more conductive than steel, the same reason telephone and power companies use only copper wiring.
How much does ElectroBraid cost per foot?
According to Horse Fence Direct, The Braid™ costs 16 to 18 cents a foot, approximately $0.17 per foot. That makes the conductor rope an affordable choice for fencing large pastures and perimeters. Energizers, posts and accessories are sold separately.
What is Bayco Finish-Line fence?
Bayco® Finish-Line is described as the original and only warranted horse fence of its kind. It is a monofilament strand fence that contains no wire and is built with UV inhibitors so it will not lose its tension, which makes it virtually maintenance free. Each strand has 1250 lbs of breaking strength.
How much is Finish-Line fence and what colors are available?
The FinishLine Horse Fence 2000ft Spool is priced at $474.00 and is offered in black and white. Because it contains no wire and resists losing tension, it is positioned as a low-maintenance, long-life option. It is one of the non-electric fence choices in the catalog.
Does Horse Fence Direct sell fence posts and accessories?
Yes. They carry T-Post (including Timeless T-Post), Fiberglass Post, Mule Post, Portable and Sure Fit post systems, plus insulators, tensioners, corner kits, splice buckles, brackets and fence tools. Centaur accessories include the Spinning Jenny at $315.00, the Two-Way Barrel Tensioner at $110.00, the One-Way Barrel Tensioner at $45.00 and post insulators at $9.50 per 25-pack. A New Zealander Corner Kit runs $230.00 to $256.00.
What is HFD Braid?
HFD Braid is Horse Fence Direct's own braided electric rope line, available in multiple colors. A featured HFD Braid 1000 ft Roll is priced at $195.00. It works on the same electric-fence principle of acting as both a visible barrier and a shock deterrent.
What are KleerFlex Doors?
KleerFlex Doors are flexible door flaps stocked by Horse Fence Direct for barn and stall openings, priced from $126.00 to $594.00 depending on size. They let horses and people pass while helping keep out wind, weather and pests. They are part of the company's broader equine supply offering alongside fencing.
Is Horse Fence Direct fence good for DIY installation?
Yes — the company's products are specifically designed for do-it-yourself projects, and they offer consultations with experienced fence professionals to help plan your layout. Continuous-length flexible rail and braided rope systems are engineered to be installed faster than wood or rigid PVC. Call 1-800-478-0099 to discuss your specific fencing requirements before you order.
How is shipping calculated?
Shipping costs vary by volume and location. If the quoted shipping rate exceeds the actual cost, Horse Fence Direct issues a refund for the difference; if actual costs exceed the quote, they contact the customer before processing the order. This keeps freight charges fair on the heavy, bulky rolls of fence.
