Fence material: Select insulators compatible with the type of fence posts you have, whether it's wood, metal, or concrete.
-
Wire or tape thickness: Choose insulators that can accommodate the thickness of the electric wire or tape you'll be using.
-
Enclosure type: For offset or distance insulators, consider the desired spacing between the wire and the fenceline.
-
Weather conditions: Select weather-resistant insulators if your fence is exposed to harsh weather conditions.
-
Durability: Opt for durable insulators that can withstand the rigors of everyday use and potential animal encounters.

Proper installation is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness and safety of your electric fence system. Here are the steps for installing screw-in insulators:
-
Position the insulator: Mark the desired location on the fence post and ensure it's at the appropriate height.
-
Drill a hole: Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the insulator's diameter to create a pilot hole.
-
Insert the insulator: Carefully tap the insulator into the pre-drilled hole until it's snugly secured.
-
Attach the wire: Thread the electric wire or tape through the insulator's opening and secure it with a crimp connector or wire ties.
-
Repeat for each post: Follow the same steps for all the fence posts along the perimeter.
