Finally someone who explains everything from beginning to end! Good video.

@GrandmaSezSo 2 года назад

So thankful for people like you that make these videos. This was helpful to me. I need a solar fence inside my chain link fence to keep wildlife out. Coons and coyotes aren't satisfied with my 5 acre field I gave them in addition to the miles of countryside surrounding my place and claimed my fenced backyard too. (where my garden is)

@RoyalCrab 7 лет назад

Great idea with the garden hose insulating the wire! Very smart!

@bluedazz 7 лет назад

That's one way to get your morning jolt. Coffee is a bit easier. Nice, clean and clear instruction.

@crystalben6044 5 лет назад

Love this video. I've been looking everywhere for a simple video that explains how to set up a charger and this so far has cleared answered most of my questions. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it!! God bless!!!

@poquita95 6 лет назад

Thanks for this great tutorial. I just purchased the supplies to run a small section of fence to keep my dog from jumping against my aviary and wasn't really sure where to start. Your video and instructions are very detailed and provided the information I needed! I now feel I'm ready to tackle the job! :D

@harperhellems3648 2 года назад

Ha! That's why I'm here. One of my beagles can jump out at will when he's super excited.

@unheardvoice100 3 года назад

I love this video. I am currently working on my own electric fencing with a solar system like yours. You made a very simple video for me to understand. Thank you.

@daddykirbs 3 года назад

Glad it was helpful!

@junkhondas481 3 года назад

Just a tip. Try not to use house wire. It’s only meant for 110-220v. Only use it for the ground. Don’t use it to link charger to fence as it’s al least 2000 volts. It will short out on the fence posts a lot easier then the fence wire and ropes

@theTORTUGAZUL 7 лет назад

As a kid we lived next to a pasture with an electric fence, and I always enjoyed getting sticks and and watching them sizzle on the wire. There's no need to shock yourself to see if it is hot. LOL

@lilbitatatime3763 7 лет назад

You're brave checking that live wire. I hope Maggie learns the boundaries quickly. Great job on the "voice over" and instructional video. tfs

@texasblacksmith10 7 лет назад

Blake, You will need to trim the tree limbs that are close to the top wire to prevent grounding out the circuit, hope Maggie respects the hot wire, my horse would push right through it. Good Job.

@KARMAROCKSME 4 года назад

Thank you for this!! I am installing a fence charger and you made it easy!

@jagervolant7871 2 года назад

Finally a good video. Very little fluff… appreciate it.

@mizsterious 7 лет назад

Great instructional vid for the Solar Charged fence for Maggie! Hmm, maybe do you think you need to hang some sort of warning/alert to let folks know the wires are hot? Another check off your list! Everything is looking good DK. Hope Lukes doing better and your family is well. Thinking about you today with the Texas storms passing thru. Hope you are all safe and good. As always, Enjoy, Be Kind, Love each other. Thank you for sharing and Caring!

@fredericklockard3854 Год назад

So what if I want more than one level of shock? Do I keep wrapping the wire round and round? Wanna keep small critters from going under the lowest wire.

@robertcampbell961 7 лет назад

That was a fun 7minutes and 29seconds. Nice job with the voice over.

@donaldtoney2696 Год назад

Great job explaining how and why ...I actually think I can do it now thanks

@MrRljohnson77 7 лет назад

I have been using Solar chargers for almost 10 years now. One of the secrets is to make sure you have a GREAT ground. I normally use 3 ground rods, spaced out about 10 feet apart.

@daddykirbs 7 лет назад

I was reading about using multiple ground rods. Do you think that this 250 linear ft (one strand) needs more than one rod?

@MrRljohnson77 7 лет назад

Blake Kirby the "dryer" the ground, the more need for a good ground.

@diannaboykin7628 7 лет назад

if you water that area, put the water near the grounding rod, that way you can water the rod periodically

@budacah 2 года назад

So, mine always just had one rod, I tried 3 and can't get it to work, so now I'm going back to one...we have soil that's a little heavy with clay.

@josephcioni5293 Год назад

There is a much easier way of driving the ground copper pole with just water. An old electrician showed me how to drive a ground pole by pouring water into the hole as you tapped the ground pole up and down. It goes in with so little effort compared to what you did with a pole driver. When I needed to move the electric fence, I wrapped a chain to the ground pole and used the bucket on my tractor and lifted it straight up and out of the ground.

@daddykirbs Год назад

That's a good trick. I'll give that a try next time I need to drive a ground rod in. Thanks.

@diannaboykin7628 7 лет назад

May I make a suggestion, at 2:51 you show a corner, the problem I for see, is that if an animal bumps it, or even if the wind moves things a bit, it may be able to ground out on the post... an honest quick fix might be, release the fence at the gate to loosen the pull at the corner, and either slightly bending the eye bolt so it can't slide thru the rubber bushing, or pulling the wire as far as possible beyond the corner, and putting a bead of silicone around the eye bolt, once it dries, it will prevent it from pulling too close to the post.. I have had fences that grounded out with about an inch of space... they can be finicky... GOOD LUCK

@ccsworldaustralia4332 7 лет назад

Thank you, needed this info to keep some next door neighbor's cows out of my orchard...take care

@ponyvet77 7 лет назад

You're supposed to get a "city slicker" friend to test the fence for you ;) If she goes through it you may need to hook up the bottom line too. Make sure to check it periodically as it doesn't take long for horses to figure out when the fence has grounded out

@daddykirbs 7 лет назад

I've only been doing all this for 7 years or so... I'm still City Slicker-ish! LOL

@ponyvet77 7 лет назад

Well if it makes you feel any better I accidentally test mine at least 1-2x/year despite being raised around farms ;)

Beautiful orchard! Not sure if those are hugel beds in there that I saw? I just planted one last year and I can't wait to see it as far along as yours!

@timin770 Год назад

I wonder if a person could use any the t-posts as ground rods? Of course youd need to remove the paint. Probably risky considering the close proximity to hot wire

@amyabramajtys2100 4 года назад

Well done, good sir!!! We'll be doing this soon and my husband and son may make a video like this too, just for fun. Our fence will be lower to keep smaller critters out. Wish us luck!

@daddykirbs 4 года назад

Yes! set it up and make a video. I love it when people share their experiences and stories.

How long did you have to charge the solar panel before using

@sallyweiner4180 7 лет назад

So cool, thanks for showing the process. Btw your farm is looking beautiful!

@sherrymalone7542 5 лет назад

great video..I've used electric fence before but never solar.. I missed the part of how you connected the bottom wire not attached to the solar charger so you can get in and out..

@Greenwashedhipppie 7 лет назад

I would have chosen another area for the ground rod. If the ground dries out it will not work. looks you have down spout near by. That may be a better spot. I have mine right beside my Central air system, that way when it is hot and I have the ac on the condenser is drip watering my grounding rod automatically.

@xitro20xx 7 лет назад

i think the rod is long enough, so no problem with dry ground

@Greenwashedhipppie 7 лет назад

Francis Cour Every water table is different. May hit the right spot, may not.

@richardtaylor410 7 лет назад

Wet ground is not required. A 'ground rod' can be placed almost anywhere and does the job. We never used a ground rod like he did, just a short 2-foot piece of rod stuck in the dirt or a metal fence post nearby (the one he mounted the charger on would have worked).

@Greenwashedhipppie 7 лет назад

Richard Taylor Depends on the soil type. What work's some place, may not work other places. Water conducts electricity. Thus, wet dirt grounds better than dry dirt.

@xitro20xx 7 лет назад

but the rod was long enough to get enough "wet dirt" and he doesn't life in a an desert. it will work ^_^

@thatguyoveryonder 3 года назад

Easy to follow video, thank you!

@wendyb9923 Месяц назад

how high does the ground rod have to stick up from the ground, can i use three 4 foot gavanized rods instead of one 6 foot rod? is 4 feet deep enough to be an effective grounding rod.? My tester indicates a charge, but my hand feels nothing, stumped!

@TheHeatherhales1988 4 года назад

I like how you tested it lol

@daddykirbs 4 года назад

It's half the fun ;)

Where did the fencer get power from

@reelfishing002 3 года назад

This will come in handy when I try to set up one of these I’ve heard that some claims animals can sense electrical fence without touching them (I mean they know there’s a electrical current running through it ) I wonder if this is true , OR was it just that they’ve been ZAP a few times and have learn NOT to touch it ?

@tinataubenkrau7435 7 лет назад

will weeds and grass take a lot of the power away from the fence

@laniburns5537 Год назад

thank you! Very understandable!

@12vLife 4 года назад

Will this stop an adult black bear? you leave this on 24x7x365 unattended? what if a branch falls or winds shorts it or if falls in water? I have a small 16 foot diameter circular area fenced with 6 foot steel mesh wire over wood. No way to just charge that mesh without new wires?

@shashakeeleh5468 7 лет назад

Great video! Think you solved the problem.

@Jesuswarnedus 4 года назад

Isn't it voltage and not current that shocks the animal? I just thought it was high voltage and very low current cuz isn't it current (amperage) that kills n not voltage kind of same as stun gun used by police. God Bless n thanks for video it was very helpful!!

@kylebrueggeman4190 3 года назад

Why do you only charge one wire instead of both? About to build a fence for goats. Is this something that should be done?

@jasrobsny 4 года назад

It looked like you had to squeeze the wire pretty tight to get an effect.

@mattbrown1277 7 лет назад

@judyjudyjudy1841 3 года назад

Very nice job! Do you know how low to the ground the electric fence needs to be to keep cayote out of the animal pen? thanks, Judie

@jackhaen 7 лет назад

I just added two solar powered wires to the top of my 3 rail wooden fence to prevent a fox from rousting on the top rail eye balling my two small dogs. The railed fence has a wire fence on the inside of the rails to prevent the dogs from roaming outside of the yard. After installing, I'm now wondering if this will even work. If the fox try's to jump to the top in an effort to reach the top rail will the animal even get a shock since he/she is not grounded. Your thoughts?

@daddykirbs 7 лет назад

I think he will not get a shock if nothing of his body is touching the ground.

@MTNurse 7 лет назад

Great information, THX!

@--press 2 года назад

What was the total price of this...can one use trees as post ??? 💯❤🇺🇸

@daddykirbs 2 года назад

This was several years ago, so I don't remember the costs. It is designed to fit on T-posts, but I'm sure you could get creative and set it up on something else.

@kendallcomer7221 3 года назад

So its charged and ready to go as soon as set up is done? No waiting hours for it to charge?

@ethanwalton4683 4 года назад

I’m using the same box you are 5 mile 10 joules, I drove a copper ground rod 6 feet down, waited the 3 days for it to charge, and I have everything hooked up correctly to the ground and the fence, the wire I’m using is a 14 gauge wire. It is working , but I just don’t think it’s powerful enough at all, when I touch it I feel the shock, but it’s like a small static electricity, the kind you get when walking on carpet with socks on then touching something. What did I do wrong ? Is the wire from the box to the grounding rod and fence wire wrong ?

@ZarebaSystems 6 лет назад

@johnnyarpa 4 года назад

I'm only running 500 ft do I have to use two copper rods I know the instructions ask for three but I saw that you only used one

@richardschaffling9882 4 года назад

@kansasgardener5844 4 года назад

I am installing a fence and it struck me that you did exactly what I was told "Not to do" and that is you used regular house wire to hook up your charger?

@jeffbaumann9479 Год назад

Curious what those white poles are. are those plastic? Those can be used in between the metal t posts?

@daddykirbs Год назад

Typically poles like that are fiberglass. You can build long runs with those type of poles. Corners are a bit trickier because they have force on them in two directions and they do tend to sag .

@jeffbaumann9479 Год назад

@daddykirbs thanks for the reply! we are using a similar pole (fi-shock) from tractor supply with just rope on it now and was wondering if these could be used for the poly wire and I think the answer is yes!!! Thank you again!

@caitlindavis6317 3 года назад

What type of battery did you use to hold the charge?

@pecal491 4 года назад

Hi, how about the battery? Is it inside the controller?

@john-cx7nt 4 года назад

Thanks for the video. My problem is squirrels. I saw a youtube vid where the guy said to run 2 wires. The first @ 3" above finished grade and another 3" above that one. Can this be a fire hazard if there is any dry brush @ that height? My fence is only 3' high. Can't squirrels just jump over that? My garden is under 1000 sqft. The cheapest I have found on eBay is a $65.00 5 mile solar charger. Will I need more than 1 ground rod? Can I lay the rod horizontally in a trench if I can't pound it into the ground?. Thanks

@kansasgardener5844 4 года назад

Yes it can be a fire hazard. Also you just don't want anything touching your fence! No you can not just bury the ground rod but with a small fence it would only need to be a few 2-3 feet deep. Ground rods need to be in contact with moist soil. Also don't use household wire it can short circuit. They make insulated wire just for electric fences for hooking up the charger.

@johnkimmins7731 4 года назад

Can I use a 2 ft high chicken wire fence with a solar unit to keep rabbits out of my garden?

@kansasgardener5844 4 года назад

One wire about 2" off the ground and another about 4" up from the first wire should do the trick. How would you insulate all that chicken wire?

@basikkilla1 3 года назад
