This is the 8 line electric fence bracket in the straight pattern: a black square tube that stands upright, in line with the wall, with eight bobbins fitted, one per line. It gives you two more lines than the 6 line straight bracket, so the fence stands higher above the wall. If you want the lines to lean out over the wall instead, look at the 8 line bottom bend or the 8 line top bend, which use the same tube and bobbins. Some people call it an 8 wire bracket; it is the same thing.
Straight, top bend or bottom bend?
All our 8 line square tube brackets come in three patterns. The straight bracket stands upright and keeps the fence in line with the wall. The top bend runs straight with a short bend at the top. The bottom bend bends near the base, so the whole line section leans out over the wall. You can mix patterns on one boundary, and our 8 line 30m fence kit lets you choose the bend for its ten brackets.
Fixing it to the wall
Fixings are not included. On brick and concrete our kits put these brackets up with 8 x 80mm nail-in anchors; on a steel post or frame use tek screws. At corners, ends, steps in the wall and gate posts, brace the bracket with the 750mm stay with sleeve and screws so the wire tension cannot pull it over.
Bobbins fitted
Eight stepped bobbins come fitted, so there are no insulators to buy or fit. If one gets damaged later, we sell the flat bar bobbin insulator singly as a replacement.
Rules to know before you buy
In South Africa an electric fence must be installed and certified by a registered electric fence installer, who issues the certificate of compliance. Alectra supplies the equipment only. A fence on top of a wall must stand at least 1.5m above the ground, warning signs go at every gate and access point and no more than 10m apart, and angled brackets are fixed on the inside of the boundary wall, with the neighbour's consent if they lean into their property.
Pairs well with
For a home fence run it from the Nemtek Wizord 4i energizer; for a bigger property the Nemtek Merlin Stealth M18S. String it with 1.6mm aluminium fence wire and tension each line with a gold 8kg spring tensioner.
Key features
- Eight lines on one bracket. Two more lines than the 6 line version, so the fence stands higher above the wall.
- Straight pattern. Stands upright and keeps the fence in line with the wall, with nothing leaning over the neighbour's side.
- Black square tube. Hollow square steel tube with a black finish.
- Bobbins come fitted. Eight stepped bobbins are already on the bracket. Replacements are sold singly.
- Same tube as the bend versions. Mix straight, top bend and bottom bend brackets on one boundary as the wall and the neighbours allow.
- Takes the 750mm stay. Brace it at corners, ends, steps and gate posts with our 750mm stay with sleeve and screws.
- Used in our 8 line kit. The 8 line 30m fence kit comes with ten of these brackets in the bend you choose.

Questions people ask
The number of lines. The 8 line bracket carries eight wires and stands taller above the wall than the 6 line bracket. Both are the same black square tube with the bobbins fitted.
The straight bracket stands upright in line with the wall. The top bend is straight with a short bend at the top. The bottom bend bends near the base so all the lines lean out over the wall. Angled brackets go on the inside of the boundary wall, so if the wall is on the boundary and the neighbour has not agreed to an overhang, the straight bracket is the safe choice.
Yes, eight stepped bobbins are fitted. If one is damaged later, we sell the flat bar bobbin insulator singly as a replacement.
Fixings are not included. Our kits use 8 x 80mm nail-in anchors on brick and concrete. On steel posts and frames use tek screws.
A common guide is no more than 3m between brackets. Our 8 line 30m kit spaces ten brackets over 30m, and every corner, end, step and gate post gets its own bracket braced with a stay.
Yes. Line and wire mean the same thing here: one live or earth strand of the fence. We use line in the title because that is what most people search for.
You can buy the parts, but the fence must be installed and certified by a registered electric fence installer, who issues the certificate of compliance. Alectra supplies the equipment only.
