Premium Black Horse Tape 20mm × 200m
Create a safe, clearly defined and professionally presented electric fence with Whistler Premium 20mm Black Horse Tape.
This versatile black electric fence tape is an excellent choice for horse paddocks, internal divisions, laneways, smaller yards and temporary fencing. Each roll contains 200 metres of 20mm tape, providing a practical solution for new fencing installations, repairs and rotational grazing systems.
The black finish blends naturally with posts, vegetation and rural surroundings. It provides a more understated appearance than traditional white tape while still creating a visible fence line for horses and other livestock.
Why Choose 20mm Black Horse Tape?
The 20mm width offers an effective balance between visibility, versatility and ease of handling.
Its narrower profile makes it particularly useful for internal paddock divisions and temporary electric fencing. It can also experience less wind loading than wider tape when correctly installed, making it a practical option for exposed paddocks and frequently adjusted fence lines.
Suitable for Australian Horse Properties
Whistler 20mm Black Horse Tape is suitable for a wide variety of equestrian and rural applications.
The 200-metre roll provides enough tape for substantial fence runs while remaining convenient to transport, install and store. It can be used for temporary or semi-permanent electric fencing when installed with suitable posts, insulators, tensioners and an appropriate electric fence energiser.
It is a practical choice for:
- Horse and equestrian properties
- Agistment paddocks

Black Electric Fence Tape for a Cleaner Appearance
Black electric fence tape provides a more discreet alternative to conventional white tape. The black finish integrates naturally with rural landscapes and can help create a clean, professional appearance across horse paddocks and lifestyle properties.
It is especially suitable for customers who want an effective electric fence without an overly bright or visually dominant fence line.
Installation Recommendations
Install the tape using electric fence insulators, joiners and tensioners that are suitable for 20mm tape.
The tape should be tensioned firmly enough to maintain a clear fence line, but it should not be overstretched. Allowing a small amount of movement can help reduce unnecessary pressure on the tape, posts and insulators.
For reliable fence performance:
- Use properly spaced posts and suitable 20mm tape insulators
- Use appropriate joiners rather than tying the tape in knots
- Install suitable tensioners at corners and on longer runs
- Keep grass, weeds and branches away from the electrified tape
- Regularly inspect the tape, fittings and electrical connections
- Select an energiser appropriate for the fence length and conditions
Vegetation touching an electric fence can draw power away from the fence line and reduce its effectiveness. Regular maintenance will help your energiser deliver a more reliable electrical pulse.
Creating an Effective Horse Fence
Electric tape provides both a visual boundary and an electrical deterrent. Horses should be introduced to electric fencing in a controlled environment so they learn to recognise and respect the fence line.
The number and height of tape strands will depend on the horses being contained, the property layout and the intended use of the fence.
Electric tape should not replace suitable permanent fencing in situations requiring strong physical containment. Always design the complete fencing system for the animals, location and associated risks.
