Fence Reel: Roll Polywire and Tape Up and Out in No Time

Fence Reel: Less Work with Strip Grazing

If you divide your pasture into sections, you unroll polywire and tape again and again. A fence reel makes this much easier: you crank the conductor onto a drum, carry it comfortably to the next section and unroll it there again. Nothing gets tangled, the conductor is treated gently and you save time every time you move the fence. For strip grazing and mobile fences, a reel is almost indispensable.

Reels for Polywire and Wide Tape

For polywire and narrow tape there are compact reels such as the Euro reel or the compact reel, which sit comfortably in the hand. For wide tape, wide tape reels with a larger drum and a carrying frame take up the tape without creasing it. The Super BIG has an extra wide drum for large quantities. The DUO reel comes with two rolls of polywire, so you can start straight away. Spare drums let you use several conductors with just one frame.

Accessories for Faster Work

With the Easy Drill winding adapter you clamp the reel into your cordless drill and wind up long runs in seconds. A one handed unwinding aid holds the spool while you unroll, and reel holders fix the reel directly to the post. The metal reel post carries up to three reels, ideal for a spot where several conductors start. For permanent fence wire there is the Vario wire dispenser, which pays out large rolls of wire without twisting. An earth stake also serves as a carrying and mounting stake for the energizer.

Frequently asked questions

How much polywire fits on a reel?
That depends on the reel and the conductor. Compact reels take a few hundred metres of polywire, while large wide tape reels hold considerably more tape. For very long fences, use several reels or spare drums.

Can I leave the reel on the fence as part of it?
Yes, many reels have an eye or a hook and are hung directly on the post. The conductor stays wound up, and you can unroll or wind up more as needed.

How do I wind electric fence tape up without creasing it?
Wind the tape slowly and with slight tension onto a wide tape reel. That way it lies flat on the drum without twisting or creasing at the edges.
