But why bother with things that come in packs of 12? Must be kinda pricey to buy enough for a whole fence. We find that a roll of good old surveyor's tape works just fine. Any color will do, but the brighter colors work better out here where the 'background' is usually dark colored(we rarely have snow). Just buy a couple of rolls - anywhere(farm supply, building supply, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc.) - and you're in business. Tear off strips, whatever length suits your purpose, and tie them on the fence wire. Lasts several years in our climate. A plus to using colors: If it does happen to snow they are still visible against the white background. The color in the tapes gives just enough "gray contrast" for the horses, etc., to still see them. Bright colors in our often dense undergrowth serve to warn PEOPLE that "something" is there which just might command their attention ;)!
