Read Kencove Farm Fence, Inc Reviews

When it comes to equine fencing, safety, visibility, and appearance are of utmost importance. With Hotcote® you get all three! 
Hotcote® is electrifiable coated wire that is ideal for horse paddocks and perimeter fences. It performs like high-tensile wire, due to the high-strength internal 12.5ga 200KSI high tensile wire at its core but is much safer. The coating adds visibility and thickness making the wire approximately 3/8” in diameter and features three carbon strips that act as conductors to carry voltage from the internal core wire to the exterior of the coating. This combination of visibility and conductivity makes Hotcote® the safest containment possible. 
Hotcote® is great for enhancing the appearance of any paddock or pasture while also giving you peace of mind that your animals are safely contained. Use multiple strands to customize your desired look or application or combine with strands of non-electrifiable Kencote to alternate between conductive and non-conductive strands.  
Hotcote® is proudly made in the USA and comes with a twenty-year limited manufacturer's warranty.  Choose between white, black, and brown color options. Available as 1,320ft (¼ mile) coils.

Nice product, good value. Maybe wish the product came in smaller rolls, but we only had a small fencing project, and not a large area to fence.

This fence is great for horses : visible and strong. When trees fell on it during the storms, replacement of insulators and re-tensioning was all the repair needed.

We live near Edmonton, Canada. this is a great product. We have had lots of comments from people how good the fence looks and our clients like it for its safety. We like it because it is low maintenance and new horses only ever touch it once.

I fenced in 10 acres with four strands of hotcote three years ago. I have been very pleased with the result. My area gets to -30 and it has done well, I have not had any trouble with the poly coating. We have a lot of moose and my husband saw one hit the fence, it bent its head back, somehow scrambled through, and the fence sprang back into place. I estimate we have about ten moose go over or through the fence a year but they have never broken it, the most that happens is the insulator breaks one side and I have to replace it, done in minutes. I have to bend back bent t posts and replace the white peg insulators, but never have mooae done more than broken the insulators off the top line, leaving the other three intact. Our horses have never gotten through it. While the shipping to Alaska is pretty tricky and there has got to be a better way for this company to ship to us, I've been really pleased with how this fence holds up to moose and our temperatures. Snow load does seem to stretch it a bit and I run the fence so what looser than some might based on snow and moose. In that case the ability to electrify it is fantastic!!!!!

Hotcote is commonly used in Canada and Alaska, where temperatures are very low. Although the fence should be installed when temperatures are warmer. Warmer temperatures will make the material easier to work with and installation will be faster. Hotcote is made with a medium-density polyethylene, which is also used to make storage containers that hold various chemicals in very frigid climates. Don't abuse the fence by over-tightening during extremely cold temperatures. You may want to loosen the tension on the fence line when temperatures are going to plummet. There will also be less abuse to the fence during cold temperatures and snow load if tension springs are installed when the fence is constructed.
