A hot-ground electric fence is helpful in dry or rough ground conditions. Installation is easy and the same as any other type of fence wiring. The only difference is the circuit wiring and grounding. Grounding is the main component of an electric fence. Ground wires/rods complete the circuits by taking the leaked current back to … Read more
Adequate grounding rods are necessary for powerful electric fencing. In the soil, current travels toward the ground rods due to moisture. More ground rods ensure more current back to the energizer and increase the fence power. This post will discuss why do you need 3 ground rods for an electric fence. How electric fence grounding … Read more
Electric fence grounding is the most crucial component of the circuit. Most electric fence issues faced in daily life are due to poor grounding. Ground wires are the return path of the fence circuit. It carries current from the ground rods and back to the energizer. Insulation protects ground wires from short circuits, hence preventing … Read more
Grounding issues are most common in electric fences. A ground wire doesn’t carry current all the time. A fence charger outputs a very short-timed voltage pulse. When someone touches the fence, current leaks into the ground through the animal/human body. Very little current escapes into the ground and reaches back to the fence, ground rods, … Read more
Removing a t-post is easy if you have selected the right tools. We can use any tool or method based on lever physics for T-post removal, such as a T-post-puller, farm or car jack pulling with a tractor bucket. To remove T-post without a puller you can use a manual post driver, pull with your … Read more
The wire connected to the energizer should be of higher quality than the fence wires. But if you have installed a poly wire electric fence, you can use poly wire to connect your energizer to the fence and the ground rods. Polywire is helpful for temporary or portable fencing as it’s easy to install and … Read more
You can splice(join) or tie your fence wires by making knots. However, using crimping sleeves, you can join fence wires much more professionally, and it is safer for your animals. This post will discuss how to splice or join electric fence wires, hard metal(high tensile) or polywire. How to splice electric fence wires? To tie … Read more
Polywires can be spliced using crimping sleeves or making a joint. However, it’s recommended to burn the ends of polywire and twisting the metal strands in order to make a secuer connection. Use can use any method but make sure that the joint is secure. Whether you are using a poly rope or poly wire, … Read more
You’ll need post insulators to attach fence wires on the t-post. For t-posts, choose a post insulator according to wire type, strength, and length of the insulator(to keep wires away from posts). Benefits of t-post insulators in that they can be clipped on the t-post without tightening screws or driving nails. In this post, we’ll … Read more
