title: High Tensile Wire Fence Breaking Strength - Video
description: High tensile carbon wire has .64% carbon content; it's lighter, stronger, easy to work with and when coated, rust is prevented, extending the wire's life.

**High Tensile Wire--****Lighter, yet Stronger**

 

Understand the breaking strength of high tensile wire fence versus low carbon wire fencing. Bekaert's Steven Sarson illustrates the differences in this very helpful video.

 

 

**Ease and Efficiency**  
The lighter weight also means easier handling and installation. Fewer posts are required so you can increase the spacing between posts. If installed properly, high tensile fences**:**

- Require little maintenance
- Re-tensioning is not necessary
- During installation high tensile fencing requires less tension to make it tight
- The wire is stiffer and will not stretch and sag
- Conversely, this characteristic gives it flexibility
- It will give and bounce back when animals lean against it
