By far the best an well explained video I have watched tonight on the installation of electrical fence and grounding. Thank you
Glad to help! Thanks for watching.
Great video! I'm setting up electric fence to keep bears from my chickens. My favourite part of the video was your awesome helper. Great job!
Glad we could help you out. Thanks for watchinga
Thank you! Great video with easy to understand instructions 😀
Glad it helped! 🤠
Installing my first electric fence, thanks for the video brother, God Bless.
Glad to help out!
This was great! I've been needing to learn this but it has seemed too complicated and I haven't taken any time to learn. This is so easy I could do it this evening!
Glad to hear this video helped you out. Thanks for watching!
"It does do 15 miles, I told you"..... This made me laugh! I guess b/c I can relate. Good video! Now I will stop buying the connectors to energize top and bottom strands; just use insulated wire to energize. Common sense
Great info! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!

If you have the AC charger, what is the reason for connecting that to the two 6-volt batteries instead of just having your fence wire directly connected to the charger?
The battery is for a day or several days when there isn't enough sunshine. However, many solar chargers come with a built-in battery as well.
Can you give the wiring diagram of your whole electric fence set-up?
Plug electric fence module into 120v outlet and connect ground side to grounding rod that is driven near the unit and usually you need two or 3 rods
Hi. Great tutorial. I'm thinking of electric wires to stop squirrels on my balcony. Balcony is concrete. For the 'grounding' are there any other options? Balcony is no where near ground level. I'm going to sound ridiculous here... but will 'grounding' work if pole was driven into huge planters?
Pound in an 8ft copper rod two inches from the surface and run 14 gauge wire up to your balcony charge box.
I have about 400’ of single wire to run in a straight line. Can I put my charger and ground rods at about the 200’ point and expect the juice will flow both directions? Or, do I need to put them at either one end of the fence wire…or the other? Appreciate your good work. Thanks from Kansas.
Shane says "Continue doing what your doing. You would be better to have it in the middle and go both directions. That way you would not see any line loss."
Thanks for watching!
You can use it where ever. The power will go all directions. To get shocked. The cycle has to be completed by the animal touching the hot wire and the ground. If ground is drier the further away the animal is from the "ground" the weaker the shock.
I think if you have energizer in middle and grounding spread throughout the area the shock will be better. I'm still trying to learn. I know it shocks the hell out of me 😅
What do you do if there is a gate in the middle of your set up?
Gotta incorporate some insulated handles, either bought or homemade so you can disconnect and reconnect when using the gate
May i ask how many volt is the electric fence. And if the house is close by can I plug it in the 110vac maybe step up transformer ?
12 volt. Yes, you can plug in to power. We just done the battery and solar due to power availability.
So, do you have one wire from the positive side of the box to each strand of fence wire you want to energize?
Yes, or you can use just one wire and then connector wire to each energized strand. Depending on your setup.
@@highdeseretranchand the other side of the box is only for ground? Nothing else gets attached to it?
@@remarkable_ruin8608 Correct. You always need a ground for a safe system
What gauge wire do you use to connect the lines on your fence? I noticed it's not that nasty double insulated steel ground wire that's so hard to bend.
It be high tensile 20ga
@@highdeseretranch Thank you!
Will a complete loop cause a short,
No sir it won't.
The fence on my pasture is fed by 2 wires and makes a complete loop, but still not working properly
@@allenbarnes7202Check your grounding point(s), in drier and especially more alkaline soil you might need multiple grounding points, depending on fence length. Also, if things are touching the wire such as grass that can also cause the system to short out. It could also very well be the charging/battery unit itself isn't working properly. With most units if you hear a ticking sound things are connected properly and/or the unit itself is working.

I was knocked onto my back not knowing my landlord age 82 had a cattle electric fence in back.of the house i rented in 1992
