Both the zinc and galvanised wire are 2.5mm thick and come in both medium and high tensile, medium tensile being easier to bend and high tensile being less malleable but and be strained tighter.
PVC coated horse wire has a 3mm wire coated with 1mm of PVC, this is ideal for horses, usually at least one strand of PVC coated horse sita wire used when constructing fences to contain horses. The sita wire will make the fence more visible for you horses meaning less chance entanglement. Nylon wire is 4mm thick and is much like the PVC coated sita wire, however it will give and stretch if you horse happens to run in to it causing less injury to your horse. Plasteel mono black wire is not steel but monofilament but is as strong as steel. It can be tied like gal fencing wire but like the nylon wire it will stretch and is not as harsh on your horse’s limbs.
