Baygard
Heavy Duty
Wire and Tape

Baygard Features Mean Value for Temporary and Portable Electric Fencing
I. STRENGTH PVC coated fiberglass gives Baygard high strength as well as low stretch and sag properties.
II. CONDUCTIVITY High conductivity (low resistance) aluminum wire conductors.
III. DURABILITY Baygard conductor wires are .0159" (.4mm) compared to many competitive products constructed of .008"(.2mm) conductor wires.
IV. VISIBILITY High contrast yellow and black color; also available in various widths of tape.
V. WEATHERING Baygard is U.V. stabilized-formulated for excellent durability in sunlight.
VI. FIRE RESISTANT Baygard, unlike many competitive products, will not support a flame.
VII. LIGHT WEIGHT Baygard wire is light weight, only 4.5 lb. (2 kg) per 1/4 mile.
VIII. EASY TO HANDLE Baygard will not kink and is easy to re-roll and reuse. Breaks can be rejoined by a knot.
IX. REEL EASY™ SPOOLS Many Baygard products are available on Reel Easy™ Spools for fast and easy payout and rewinding.
X. BAYGARD ACCESSORY PRODUCTS Baygard "Step-In" posts and other accessory products are available to get the most from your electric fencing products.

Baygard Conductivity

Factors affecting conductivity of electric fence wire are:

  • Diameter of the wire (thickness)

  • Resistance of metal measured in ohms per meter.

  • The lower the resistance, the better the conductivity.

  • Number of conductor wires.

Conductor Wire Diameter

Increasing the conductor wire diameter will dramatically increase the volume of conductor wire.*

Metal Resistance

The resistance of a conductor to electrical flow (ohms per meter) is factor of the type of metal. Compare the resistance ** of Baygard patented aluminum conductor to a .008" (.2mm) stainless steel Polywire:

  • Baygard .0159" - 0.15 ohms/meter

  • Polywire Stainless Steel .008" - 7.7 ohms/meter

Baygard resistance is approximately 50 Times lower than .008" stainless steel. Lower resistance means better conductivity.
* Volume of metal is directly proportional to the cross sectional area of the wire. (3.14R2 = Cross Sectional area)
** 3 Conductor wires
Note: All values are nominal

WARNING

These products must be used within permanent fencing. Their effectiveness is dependant upon proper installation and electrification. Do not use portable electric fencing as only means of animal restraint. If used as only means of restraint without permanent fencing, animals may escape with the risk of serious injury to animals or people.
