Pro-Tek Braided Electric Accessories

Now that you have your Pro-Tek Braided Electric horse fencing selected, you will need to install your fence properly with compatible accessories. Using the proper accessories, where recommended, will ensure your fence is installed for long-lasting use.

Installation Tips

  • Tensioning: You can tension the Pro-Tek braided electric horse fencing system with wire tighteners or with the ElectroBraid™ tension kit (yes, it's compatible).
  • Splicing: Running two ends of Pro-Tek braided electric through the electric rope splice will connect the two rail ends together.
  • Connection: To run the electric current to your Pro-Tek braided electric, you will need to run your burial wire and Pro-Tek braided electric rail through an electric rope splice.*Note: Pro-Tek braided electric is a stainless steel-based fence system and is not compatible with copper-based products. If you need to connect a copper wire or ElectroBraid™ to a Pro-Tek rail, you will need to use a neutral plate connector.
