From solar electric fence units to electric fence fault finders - Styx Solutions farm fencing products can make rural life fencing easier
Product Information
Styx Battens /Droppers
Lightweight, durable and easy to install
Styx Solutions provide the farming community with durable fencing solutions for the 21st century. The Styx Batten system is ideal for new fences and a quick and easy way to replace old and damaged farm fencing battens / droppers.
The battens are a cost-effective alternative to traditional wooden battens, wire lightning droppers, or insultimber. They remove the need for labour intensive, back-breaking work.
Simply insert down through the wires and with a simple push and click your battens are installed within a few seconds., (either by hand or with the Styx wire application tool
No staples are required to install.
Lightweight, strong, and made of a high-quality UV resistant plastic material that will not rot, splinter, or leach like treated timber products. They are manufactured from 50% recycled polymer, reducing the amount of polymer destined for land fill. They are fully recyclable at end of life.
Because the batten is effectively a giant insulator, any wire - or all wires - can be hot. This may remove the need for additional insulators and labour.
We were frustrated with having to use expensive barbed wire to stop wooden battens moving on the fence... the Styx plastic Batten has solved this problem, with a patented wire location slot and clip, the battens cannot be moved easily along the fence. Designed to flex and bend, they will absorb animal impact.
The Styx Battens have a 5-year warranty against breakage and are supplied in 3 options for pre-set wire configurations: 5-7 wire, 6-8 wire and 3-9 wire.
Designed for 2.50mm diameter wire only. Not suitable for barbed or No-8 wire.
Electric fence outriggers/offsets
Tough, durable and suitable for all livestock
Sick of outriggers that require multiple staples, bend out of shape, and suffer insulation breakdown? We were too, and talking with farmers and lifestyle block owners we heard the same story.
The Styx Outriggers can be attached to either side of the Styx Easy Batten without tools. Simply insert into an outrigger mounting receptacle (located in 4 positions on the batten) & twist 90 degrees to lock into place.
They can also be screwed or stapled to wooden posts or railings or use our insulator base plate to run equiwire simultaneously.
For use with concrete posts, we have used a Styx Batten between the posts and attached the outrigger to the batten, negating the need to attach directly to the concrete post.
A unique design of the outriggers stops 40mm tape from spiraling in the wind. The 300mm & 400mm outriggers have additional wire locations along the length for pest control and additional animal security.
The outrigger, manufactured entirely from a high-quality UV stabilised automotive polymer, will not wear through like traditional metal pigtail outriggers - no more electrical shorts.
They are flexible and can spring back when hit by an animal, unlike metal that bends out of shape.
When used vertically they can increase the height of your fence and prevent horses cribbing or windsucking.
Available in 3 sizes: 175mm, 300mm and 400mm.
