Electric Fence Tensioner / Electric Fence Strainer

An Electric Fence Tensioner, also known as an Electric Fence Strainer, is used to tension and maintain the position of electric fence wire along a fence line. It forms part of the mechanical side of an electric fencing installation, helping keep the wire properly tensioned between supporting points. A suitable tensioner is particularly useful when installing or maintaining long fence runs where consistent wire positioning is required.

Product Features

Electric Fence Wire Tensioning

The tensioner is used to apply and maintain tension on electric fence wire during installation, helping keep the wire positioned along the fence line.

Strainer for Fence Wire

Also referred to as an electric fence strainer, this component provides a practical way to tension the fence wire at appropriate points along the fence.

Helps Maintain Wire Position

Properly tensioned wire is less likely to sag along the fence run. The tensioner helps maintain the intended position of the wire between supporting points.

Suitable for Electric Fence Installations

The tensioner can be incorporated into electric fence systems using suitable fence posts, high-tensile wire, insulators and an electric fence energiser.

Useful for Fence Maintenance

An electric fence strainer can also be used when maintaining an existing fence where wire tension needs to be adjusted.

Suitable for High-Tensile Fence Wire

The tensioner is intended for use with suitable electric fence wire, including high-tensile wire where the tensioning component is compatible with the wire and fence design.
