Centaur® is our deluxe horse friendly fence system. Crafted with HTP®, a specialized blend of high tensile polymers, each rail is embedded with three strands of 12.5 gauge high tensile steel wire providing superior strength and flexibility. No Boards to Replace, No Painting!
Three strands of 12.5 gauge high tensile steel wire embedded in Deluxe HTP® polymer material.
Designed for Animal Safety & Security...
Centaur HTP® is a forerunner in the high tensile fencing industry. Its five-inch polymer "rail" with three 12-1/2 ga. imbedded high tensile wires is designed with an impressive minimum break strength of 4,050 lbs. per fence rail and features the ability to flex back into place after impact reducing the chances of injury to animals and damage to fence. Centaur HTP® is unique since it is installed in a continuous loop and attached to posts with a patented "Belt Loop" Bracketing System. This attachment method has two strong advantages over alternative methods: the continuous loop system is more flexible than rigid individual rails of 8, 10, or 12 feet; the Belt Loop Brackets also allow the rail(s) to slip freely, absorbing and dissipating any impact down the entire length of fence.
Designed for Low Maintenance and Longevity...
Centaur HTP® is virtually maintenance-free. Centaur HTP® will retain its beautiful appearance for many years and will not rust, warp, rot, peel, chip, stretch, fade, shatter, or splinter, a fact confirmed by both a QUV tester (an accelerated weatherometer that mimics a lifetime of wear in a short time) and by thousands of installations. These features make Centaur HTP® an economical alternative to vinyl post and rail fence which boasts the same benefits at a higher cost. Centaur HTP® is also an obvious choice for fence when compared with wood board, split rail, and other farm and field type fences. Centaur HTP® carries a 30 year limited warranty, but test results near this age show the rails in near-perfect condition. As with most of the products we carry, the life of the product will outlive the warranty.
Designed with Options and for Easy Installation...
Centaur HTP® is available in white, black, and brown with matching brackets. Rolls are available in 330' and 660' measurements. You may mix and match rails, i.e. Centaur HTP® 5" rails for top rail with PolyPlus® HTP® as bottom rails. Installation is easy enough, most customers choose to install it themselves. Rails are installed continuously around fence area and tighten using tensioners. Rails are connected to posts with a bracket allowing rails to slide and 'give' for the entire fence length. Components and optional accessories available below, please read installation manual to see which items will be needed for your particular installation.
30 Year Limited Warranty - See instruction manuals for warranty details.
Fact is, Centaur® builds an amazingly durable fence material. Properly installed, it will last as long or longer than we say it will, and longer than any competing product. Thus, the manufacturer is quick to warranty against all manufacturer's defects, including cracking, peeling, chipping, and discoloration due to adverse weather. The only problems ever encountered by our customers are due to incorrect installation. If you plan on doing it yourself, don't cut corners. Follow our recommendations to the letter. This way you'll be sure to get a fence you're absolutely delighted with for years to come.
Line post spacing is best determined by the diameter of your pen. With a larger diameter, wider spacing can be used. However, closer line post spacing increases the overall strength of your pen. For bracing, refer to the Instruction Manual provided for details.
Note: All pen posts must be a length of 8′ and concreted during installation.
The range recommended for line post spacing is 8′ to 12′. A layout with closer line post spacing increases the overall strength of your fence.
Lay of the land and animal containment needs can help determine the best post spacing requirements for your project.
Lay of the Land:
For example, a perimeter on level to gentle terrain may use up to a 12′ space between line posts. Irregular terrain may require less distance between posts to better customize the perimeter for your project.
Animal Containment:
The size and temperament of your animals will help determine your needs. For example, an area designed to contain a stallion may require a four rail fence with eight foot post spacing while another for mares may only require three rails with a twelve foot post spacing.
Example below based on a Four Rail System on a typical 55″ post height (installed on level terrain):
Please review the Installation Manual for more information.
A One-Way Barrel Tensioner can maintain up to 660′ of fence on level terrain. A Two-Way Barrel Tensioner can maintain up to 660′ of fence in each direction on level terrain for a combined length of 1,320′.
Each barrel tensioner is capable of tensioning 660′ of straight rail, but you must deduct 100′ from that length for every directional and elevation change.
Centaur Fencing Systems can be customized to suit your perimeter needs. You may either install three to four Flexible Rails, five Safety Coated Wires, or a combination of Rail and Coated Wire.
See the Centaur Fencing System fence combination information in the Planning Guide for more information.

Easy online ordering. Some one from the company called me to make sure I was ok with placing order since it can be a 12-14 week wait time to receive fencing material. Fencing came in in time frame was told. Would purchase from them again in the future.
