Electric fence bobbins are the insulators that hold each live wire clear of the steel bracket, and this is the flat bar type in black, 4.5mm, sold each. The price is per bobbin, so order the number you need to replace damaged ones or to add a line. It is the stepped bobbin fitted to flat bar brackets, and the same stepped pattern you see on our square tube brackets. For the round bar brackets use the round bar bobbin instead, and for a clip-type insulator see the omega bobbin with clip.
How it fits
The fence wire sits in the groove around the bobbin, and the centre hole takes the fixing that holds the bobbin to the bracket. On a flat bar bracket the holes are pre-punched, so the bobbin sits where the hole is and the line spacing is set by the bracket.
Sold each
This listing is for one bobbin. A 6 line bracket carries six and an 8 line bracket carries eight, so count the lines you are replacing or adding and order that many. New brackets from us come with their bobbins fitted: see the 6 line straight, 8 line straight and 6 line bottom bend brackets.
Which bobbin for which bracket
Flat bar bobbin: flat bar brackets and the stepped bobbins on our square tube brackets. Round bar bobbin: our 6 and 8 line round bar brackets, where the centre hole takes the rod. Omega bobbin with clip: clip-type insulators with a two-hole foot. If you are not sure which bobbin is on your fence, send the branch a photo before you order.
Supply only
A registered electric fence installer must install and certify the fence; Alectra supplies the parts only. Pair the bobbins with 1.6mm aluminium fence wire and a gold 8kg spring tensioner on each line.
Key features
- Holds the wire clear of the steel. The bobbin insulates the live line from the bracket so the fence does not short to earth.
- Stepped flat bar pattern. The wire sits in the groove around the bobbin and the centre hole takes the fixing.
- Black. Matches our black brackets.
- Sold each. Price per bobbin. Order one per line you are replacing or adding.
- Fixed position. On a flat bar bracket the holes are pre-punched, so the bobbin sits where the bracket puts it.
- Three bobbin types in the range. Flat bar, round bar and omega with clip: pick the one that matches your bracket.
