Gallagher Turbo Tape 12.5mm – High Conductivity Electric Fence Tape
Gallagher 12.5mm Turbo Tape is a high conductivity electric fence tape designed for horse and livestock fencing where reliable power delivery, visibility and long-distance fence performance are important.
Unlike standard poly tape, Gallagher Turbo Tape combines two copper and three stainless-steel conductive strands to provide significantly improved conductivity. With a resistance of just 250 Ohms/km, power travels more efficiently along longer electric fence lines with less voltage loss.
The ultra-white 12.5mm tape provides excellent visibility for horses and livestock, helping animals recognise and respect the fence line. Its lightweight design also makes it ideal for portable and semi-permanent electric fencing systems.
Why Choose Gallagher Turbo Tape?
- 34 times the conductivity of standard Gallagher Poly Tape
- Low resistance of 250 Ohms/km for longer fence runs
- 2 copper and 3 stainless-steel conductive strands
- Highly visible 12.5mm ultra-white electric fence tape
- Ideal for horse and equine electric fencing
- Suitable for portable and semi-permanent fencing
- Patented interconnecting weave helps bypass broken conductive strands
- Hard-wearing UV-resistant materials for outdoor use
Designed for Longer Electric Fence Lines
Standard poly tape can lose significant voltage over longer fence distances. Gallagher Turbo Tape uses mixed-metal conductors and a low-resistance design to maintain higher fence voltage further along the fence line.
Gallagher’s patented interconnecting weave regularly links the internal copper and stainless-steel strands. If an individual conductive strand is damaged, the weave helps reconnect the conductors and bypass potential voltage loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gallagher Turbo Tape used for?
Gallagher 12.5mm Turbo Tape is a high conductivity electric fence tape designed for horses, livestock, strip grazing and portable or semi-permanent electric fencing.
Is Gallagher Turbo Tape suitable for horses?
Yes. The highly visible white 12.5mm tape is well suited to horse and equine electric fencing where fence visibility and reliable electrical performance are important.
What is the difference between Turbo Tape and standard poly tape?
Gallagher Turbo Tape uses copper and stainless-steel conductive strands to provide significantly better conductivity than standard Gallagher Poly Tape. Its lower electrical resistance helps maintain higher voltage over longer fence lines.
How conductive is Gallagher 12.5mm Turbo Tape?
The tape has a resistance of 250 Ohms/km and is approximately 34 times more conductive than standard Gallagher Poly Tape rated at 8,500 Ohms/km.
What conductive wires are inside the tape?
Gallagher 12.5mm Turbo Tape contains 2 copper and 3 stainless-steel conductive strands. The mixed-metal conductor design combines high conductivity with durability.
What happens if one of the conductive strands breaks?
Gallagher’s interconnecting weave regularly links the conductive strands throughout the tape. This design helps maintain electrical continuity and bypass potential voltage loss if an individual strand is damaged.
Can I use Gallagher Turbo Tape for long electric fence runs?
Yes. The low-resistance design makes Turbo Tape better suited to longer electric fence lines than standard poly tape. Actual fence performance will also depend on the energiser, earthing system, fence layout, vegetation and quality of connections.
Can Gallagher Turbo Tape be used for strip grazing?
Yes. It is suitable for strip grazing, rotational grazing, temporary paddocks and other portable electric fencing applications.
Is the tape UV resistant?
Yes. Gallagher Turbo Tape is manufactured using hard-wearing UV-resistant materials for outdoor electric fencing applications.
Is Gallagher Turbo Tape available in different roll lengths?
Yes. Gallagher 12.5mm Turbo Tape is available in 200m and 400m rolls, allowing you to select the most suitable length for your electric fence installation.
