So can you run these as a straight fence not connecting back to itself in a closed loop? As in I want to run some along my wood line but not back on itself, just a single line. Will that work?
Correct, an electric fence does not need to connect back to itself. The circuit is complete by an animal (in contact with the ground) touching the fence.
Most energizers put out 7k-12k volts this is fine on netting. Higher joule energizers on short fence lines are fine but are more than needed. For further questions please give us a call at 800-282-6631.
You can make a u-turn and have the net against itself, or overlap the ends. Bundling increases the likelihood of conductors touching the spikes and shorting out the net. Shorter lengths than the standard 100' or 164' nets are available.
@@premier1supplies thank you so much for the U-turn idea, I've been raking the coals of my mind all morning either waiting for a response or trying to think of something innovative😂
The bottom strand of netting is not electrified. We recommend mowing or trampling the grass prior to installation. If grass contact is likely to occur, use a large enough energizer that can power through the grass contact and provide a large enough pulse at the end of the fence line.
You can tie back to the T posts for support at curves, corners or ends. Attaching directly to a t-post via insulators defeats the benefit of portability.
We recommend mowing or trampling the grass to reduce the weed load on the fence. Unless you have a powerful enough energizer to push through the weeds (output needed depends on amount of grass and length of fence), you're going to need to maintain a clean fenceline.
