What Farmco Recommends It For:
We recommend the Gallagher Wood Post Heavy Duty Tape Insulator for building or repairing 40mm equine electric tape fences on timber posts. It’s ideal for horse paddocks, yards and laneways where a highly visible tape fence keeps horses safely contained. Each pack of 25 covers a good run of fence line.
Why It’s a Farmco Favourite:
Soft rubber jaws grip the tape firmly without chafing it, so your tape lasts longer and stays tight in the wind. The UV-resistant plastic holds up under the harsh Aussie sun, backed by a 10-year warranty. It’s a quality Gallagher insulator that makes tape fencing quick and easy.
Made for 40mm Equine Tape
Gallagher designed this insulator specifically for 40mm (1½”) equine electric tape. Formerly known as the Wood Post Insulator for 40mm Tape, it holds wide tape flat and secure, giving horses a clear visual barrier they learn to respect.
Soft Jaws That Protect Your Tape
Wind puts constant strain on tape fencing, and hard insulators can wear through it fast. The soft rubber jaws lock the tape in place and stop it rubbing, so you spend less time replacing damaged tape and more time with your horses.
Built to Handle Australian Sun
Long-lasting, UV-resistant plastic means these insulators won’t go brittle or crack after a few summers. A 10-year warranty shows how confident Gallagher is in their durability.
Quick to Install and Adjust
Simply staple the insulator onto your timber post, open the hinged clip, drop the tape in and snap it shut. Releasing the tape is just as easy when you need to tension, move or repair a section of fence.
Everything You Need for Your Tape Fence
Pair these insulators with Gallagher 40mm equine tape, tape joiners and a Gallagher energiser for a complete, reliable horse fence. Chat with the Farmco team for help planning your setup.
