Insulators
Instead of installing insulators directly onto a tree,Wellscroft
always recommends first attaching a board to the tree and then the
insulators to the board. As the tree grows, it pushes the entire assembly
outward instead of consuming individual insulators which can develop a
short in your fence.

SupaTube for High-Tensile Fence
The low cost high-tensile insulator for protecting smooth wire from trees and wood posts.
Available in four sizes, the high-tensile wire is slid through the 3/16” durable tubing secured with
a SupaTube staple which is wider than a standard staple. See chart below for where best to use
each precut SupaTube or cut the 48” piece to your length needed.
