Long-Distance Screw-In Insulators – Extend Your Electric Fence from Posts
Keep your electric fence running at maximum efficiency with these Long-Distance Screw-In Insulators from Forcefield, available at White’s Agri. By holding electrified wire, polyrope, or tape approximately 7 inches away from the post, they eliminate one of the most common causes of voltage loss, the conductor touching or riding close to the timber post.
Made from UV-stabilised, weather-resistant plastic, these insulators are engineered for permanent outdoor use in Irish conditions. They will not crack, fade, or lose insulating properties through frost, rain, or summer sun. Installation requires no specialist tools, simply screw directly into timber posts by hand or with a screwdriver.
Sold in packs of 10, they are ideal for farmers, equestrian managers, and landowners installing or upgrading any type of electric livestock fence.

FAQs
How far do these insulators extend the fence from the post?
Approximately 7 inches (around 178 mm). This extra clearance prevents the electrified conductor from touching the post and shorting out, keeping voltage strong across the full fence line.
Are these compatible with polytape as well as wire?
Yes. These screw-in insulators securely hold electric wire, polyrope, polytape, and turbo tape. The channel accommodates a range of conductor widths used in Irish agricultural and equestrian fencing.
Do I need special tools to install them?
No specialist tools are required. They screw directly into timber fence posts by hand or with a standard screwdriver, quick to install even when setting up a long fence line on your own.
How many insulators come in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 long-distance screw-in insulators, enough to cover a solid stretch of fencing. Multiple packs can be ordered for larger projects.
Will they hold up in Irish weather?
Yes. The UV-stabilised, weather-resistant plastic is specifically designed for prolonged outdoor exposure and will not crack, fade, or degrade in wet winters, frost, or summer sun.
