Your new favourite little gadget! 😍💪
Small but mighty, these locking insulators do a lot of heavy lifting.
The rubber inserts are the clever part — they grip the tape, hold tension, and help keep your fence line neat without sagging or flapping around in the wind. They also help prolong the life of the tape by reducing movement, which means less fraying and less chance of it breaking over time.
They’re so simple to use. No fancy tensioning tools, no brute strength, and no reason you can’t install or replace one yourself in a matter of seconds.
We've used plastic screws for a reason — if a horse hits the fence hard, EquiSol is designed to break before causing injury. And if the odd insulator does give, that’s a whole lot better than a vet bill. If a horse does go through the tape, the rest of the fence line will stay up, and you can simply use a tape joiner to fix the broken section.
Our insulators are simple, affordable, and effective — UV tested to 10,000 hours (around 5 years of NZ sunshine), with real-life installs still going strong 10 years on.
A tip for longevity: keep your tape hot. If horses lean on it, the system is designed to give rather than take that strain, so you can end up with sagging tape or released insulators.
