As with Safe-Fence webbing our hardware is designed to have pre-conceived values. In accepting the idea that the fence will suffer periodic and varying degrees of impact we realized that we must build in calculated weak points. These weak points accommodate what we have determined to be the least or greatest acceptable damage that could occur.
First and foremost the least desired damage is injury to the animal. Secondly tearing the webbing would require a splice that may show up in an unsightly place. To minimize these two least desired problems the Safe-Fence Tensioners were designed to hold the webbing tight, swivel left to right and up and down to absorb concussion. They will also bend open to release the webbing if the horse absolutely runs full force through the fence. They are easily reshaped for continued use. Our insulators hold the webbing firm, reducing wind friction and down line stretching if the fence is hit.
All Safe-Fence electrical connections are tight to avoid arcing but are easily removed to shut off power to specific strands of areas of fence when needed.
