Electric Fence Planning Pack

Electric Fence Planning Pack

Plan an electric fence on paper before you buy a thing. This 15-page printable pack walks you from the fence line to a full shopping list: live wire, rolls, posts, insulators and a starting energiser rating, then earthing and the common faults. Clear line sketches throughout show each idea at a glance.

Inside:

- Before you start: how the shock works, and the safety rules

- The parts of an electric fence, and which posts go where

- Step 1: walk the line and work out the fence length, with a sketch grid

- Step 2: live wire, rolls, posts and insulators

- Step 3: a starting energiser rating to take to the maker's chart

- Step 4: earthing, and how to test it

- A worked example: a 200 m × 100 m paddock, step by step

- Strainers, braces and gates

- A shopping list, Before You Dig checks and a fence check log

- Five fault finders: fence weak, energiser not pulsing, stock getting through, wire sagging, gate sagging

Written for farmers, hobby farmers and anyone putting up their first electric fence who wants to buy the right gear the first time.
