Ours is just the same well-galvanised wire as used on the 7 km boundary fence. There's a new blue-coated variety out here, apparently rated to resist coastal spray. It might be worth a try, but in 52 years we've not had rust problems with the plain galvanised variety. It doesn't take long to change - compared to the decades of service. > Our poles were 4" steel water pipe, probably still standing nearly 70 > years later. Yeah, even the termites have trouble with that. But our poles last decades, about 50 metres from the forest. (Wouldn't do nearly as well in there.) Mind you, e.g. 1/8" stainless steel cable is pretty cheap at the hardware store, especially averaged over half a century.
