Electric fence line and method of weaving

An electric fence line comprising:

• a plurality of elongated wrap yarns and at least one elongated weft yarn constructed of polyethylene monofilament yarns woven into a substantially flat tape;
• a plurality of electrically conductive warp strands constructed of stainless steel woven substantially parallel into the tape in substantially parallel relation to the warp yarns;
• at least one electrically conductive bonding strand constructed of stainless steel woven into the tape in a repeating pattern crossing diagonally across each of the electrically conductive warp strands such that the bonding strand crosses each electrically conductive wrap strand at positions spaced latitudinally and longitudinally of the electrically conductive wrap strands;
• said electrically conductive warp strands and said bonding strand constructed of 8 mil wire.

A method of constructing a woven electric fence line comprising:

• providing a plurality of warp yarns and at least one weft yarn;
• providing a plurality of electrically conductive warp strands;
• providing at least one electrically conductive bonding strand;
• weaving said warp yarns, said weft yarn, and said warp strands into a substantially flat tape;
• while weaving said tape, repeatedly weaving said electrically conductive bonding strand into said tape by moving the bonding strand laterally into a first position above or below said warp yarns, moving the bonding strand between said warp yarns into a second position spatially separated from the first position, inserting said weft yarn between a portion of said warp yarns and said bonding strand, and returning said bonding strand back into the first position above or below said warp yarns;
• whereby, said bonding strand is woven in a repeating pattern diagonally crossing the warp yarns and the electrically conductive warp strands.

A method of constructing a woven electric fence line comprising:

• providing a plurality of warp yarns and at least one weft yarn;
• providing a plurality of electrically conductive warp strands;
• providing at least one electrically conductive bonding strand;
• providing a comb having a closed bottom end and an open top end and having a plurality of teeth for laterally separating the warp yarns and electrically conductive wrap strands;
• weaving said warp yarns, said weft yarn, and said warp strands into a substantially flat tape;
• while weaving said tape, repeatedly weaving said electrically conductive bonding strand into said tape by moving the bonding strand laterally into a specific position above or below said warp yarns by moving the bonding strand laterally while said strand is being held by a needle above said comb, moving the bonding strand between said warp yarns, inserting said weft yarn between a portion of said warp yarns and said bonding strand, and returning said bonding strand back into the position above or below said warp yarns;
• whereby, said bonding strand is woven in a repeating pattern diagonally crossing the warp yarns and the electrically conductive warp strands.
