180 KSI 12 1/2 Gauge High-Tensile Wire, 4000'

180 KSI 12½ Gauge High-Tensile Wire – 4,000' Roll

The 180 KSI 12½ Gauge High-Tensile Wire is a durable, long-lasting fencing solution designed for permanent livestock fencing, electric fencing systems, and perimeter fence construction. Featuring Class 3 galvanization for superior corrosion resistance, this wire delivers excellent strength, long service life, and flexibility for both traditional fence construction and modern high-tensile systems.

With slightly lower tensile strength than higher KSI wire options, 180 KSI wire remains an excellent choice for producers who prefer traditional hand-knotting methods while maintaining outstanding fence performance.

Key Features:

Class 3 Galvanized High-Tensile Wire: Corrosion-resistant coating provides up to 3× greater rust resistance than traditional farm store wire

180 KSI High-Tensile Strength: Provides excellent durability while remaining easier to work with for hand-knotting applications

12½ Gauge Wire: Industry standard wire size for permanent fence construction

Traditional Hand Knot or Crimp Compatible: Easily hand-knot or use crimp sleeves depending on fence design preference

Excellent for Perimeter Fencing: Strong, reliable wire for long-term boundary and livestock fencing

Maintains Excellent Tension: Designed to stay tight while minimizing sagging over time

Longer Fence Runs: Allows wider post spacing and fewer line posts

Outstanding Value: Popular due to its balance of performance, ease of installation, and affordability

Widely Used Internationally: In New Zealand, 180 KSI wire is commonly used for both electric and non-electric fencing systems
