Its a single piece of tape that threaded through the top clip of posts and joins again with a gate handle. The bottom strand of tape is not electric. I have had to tie it together at one point but have never had a problem doing that before.
Is that the right answer??
Not sure but I like it!!!
I had probs with my fence building and sort of perfected it in the end. OH now starts to tremble if you so much as say electric and fence in the same breath, he loathes it because it means lots of walking,swearing and ultimately he is my TESTER!!!!!
my successful fences ran on this premise.
Use the string not tape as it does not stretch, go baggy, get blown out of posts etc.
Run 2 SEPARATE lines down the fence. I did top and probably three or four hooks down.
Attach first line and then run down posts and tie off at other end making sure ends touch nothing!!
Then run the second line down (ensuring good tension in both) and secure off as before.
****hope u not asleep yet!***
I then used a connector wire that attached to both bits of fence. It was up near energiser end. Hooked the energiser into the top bit of tape.
Then called to OH to test!! 99/100 OH leapt out of skin whilst simultaneously screaming in pain!!!!
Hope that helsp- if not sorry for boringness of reply!!!
