Electric fence earth loops are anti-tamper fittings, and this is the wall mounted type: a 304 stainless steel wire shape that fixes to the wall just below the bottom two wires of a wall-top fence. Tied into the fence earth, it sits where a hand or foot would go. If an intruder pulls a live wire down or presses it against the wall to get over, the wire touches the loop, the fence shorts to earth and the energizer raises the alarm. This is the angled version, shaped for fences on angled brackets where the lines lean out over the wall. Sold singly.

How it catches a climber
The weak point of a wall-top fence is the bottom wire: pull it down to the wall and there is room to climb. The wall mounted loop fixes to the wall under the bottom two wires and is connected to the fence earth. Normally it touches nothing. The moment a live wire is forced onto it, a monitored energizer such as the Nemtek Merlin Stealth M18S or Wizord 4i sees the short to earth and alarms.
Angled brackets
On angled brackets the lines lean out over the wall, so the loop needs an arm that reaches out under them: that is what the angled version gives you. It fixes to the wall through the two eyes at the end of the arm. Use it alongside the in-line earth loops, which guard the gaps between the lines further up.
Not an earthing part
The loop does not connect to an earth spike and does not earth the energizer. That job belongs to the Nemtek copper clad earth spike and HT cable. Wall fixings are not included. Alectra supplies the equipment only. The fence must be installed and certified by a registered electric fence installer.
Key features
- Catches a wire pulled down to the wall. A live wire forced onto the earthed loop shorts the fence to earth, and the energizer alarms.
- 304 stainless steel. One formed piece of stainless wire with two fixing eyes and an angled arm.
- Angled for angled brackets. The arm reaches out under lines that lean over the wall.
- Fixes to the wall. Two eyes at the end of the arm take the wall fixings.
- Works with any monitored fence. Any energizer that alarms on a collapse in fence voltage picks it up, including the Nemtek and DTS ranges we sell.
- Pairs with the in-line loops. The wall loop guards the bottom wires, the in-line loops guard the gaps between the lines.

Questions people ask
No. It is an anti-tamper loop that is tied into the fence earth. The energizer is earthed with an earth spike and HT cable, sold separately.
The loop sits at earth potential under the bottom wires. When a live wire is pulled or pressed onto it, the fence shorts to earth on that pulse and the energizer alarms.
This angled version is for angled brackets, where the lines lean out over the wall. On straight brackets the lines run directly above the wall and a straight loop is the fit.
No maker sets a rule. Installers fit them at the low or hidden sections where a climber would try first, and at corners and gates. It is sold singly, so buy one per position.
No. The loop fixes to the wall through its two eyes with nail-in anchors or screws, sold separately.
It sits on the earth wires between the lines and catches wires being spread apart. The wall mounted loop guards the bottom wires. Most installers use both.
It is wired into a live fence, so leave it to your registered electric fence installer. Alectra supplies the loop only.
