STAND-OFF SYSTEMS

• This is the prime method of electrifying existing conventional fences.
  Uses and advantages include:
  Electrifying existing plain wire or netting fences.
  Economic fence renovation
  Protection for horse fence
  Deer and bull control
  Predator control

• An electrified wire in the right place will extend the life of any non-electric fence considerably by reduction of fence abuse by stock.

  TYPES OF STAND-OFF
  Wire fixing stand-offs

• The range of stand-off insulators clip easily on to existing fence wires.

• The short tail versions are designed for use with netting [the attaching wire arms are shorter].
  All are made from heavy gauge high tensile wire.
  Wood post stand-offs
  Pigtail standoff insulators are recommended for use where direct fixing to wood posts is required.
  They are available in two lengths for top fixing and three lengths for side fixing.
  Simply drive into the post and staple.
  No wire threading required made in heavy gauge spring steel wire.

STAND-OFF WIRE PLACEMENT
For large animals one stand-off wire at the top of the fence line may be sufficient.
For smaller animals, stand-off should be placed at a height coinciding with the animal's nose.
For sheep and cattle a single offset at sheep nose height will control both.
Two wires will ensure maximum animal control however.
