@Zebra Systems -- Where's the rest of the video???

[@123STEP23]

Daisy weak tensioners are safer as they are smooth no teeth for feet to get tangled in or shredded to the bone cause the animal cannot untangle itself. The rest of the fencing style is perfect !!

Can I have my ground rods 100 feet from my energizer

[@get8bit]

This video isn't really a complete guide if it cut off the section about gates.

[@jburton6593]

I logged into the website but where can I find the planning guide?

[@TheKajunkat]

zarebasystems.com then click on learning center, then look under installation guide then click planning your fence. that will get you to the printable guide. I still haven't found the supposed fancy electronic tool.

I was in the electric sign business for 25 years and worked with neon which runs off of transformers that put out up to 7500 volts. We tried the whole plastic tubing thing and it would fail eventually due to moisture getting in the tubing. Water conducts electricity. The hard plastic components were better, until the sun finally got to them. Porcelain and pyrex were the only things that worked with the exception of air space.

How much does it cost to do one acre

[@terriblejustawful2825]

Am I the only one who's brain kept reading the brand as zebra? I just heard him say the name and had to double check the brand name and was like, "oh right"

[@arnoldromppai5395]

this is the kind of fence I been wanting to re-do all my blocks, but it is not found here in north western Ont. Canada at any farm supply, or any of my own wholesale suppliers of hard ware tubing, chain all I can get is the same stuff the co-ops have and that's ether 1/4 or 1/2 mile 14 ga electric wire witch will not take any tension, and very costly insulators, my customers ask me all the time too, I don't like the 10x12 roll fence as anamals get there heads stuck, and a 350 x4; high roll of 4x4 is 500.00 cnd, far to much when you have miles to do

[@isaiahhuntington6663]

I think it's funny how they said to wear hand and eye protection, but when they're tensioning the wire they aren't wearing any of that.

[@dontfit6380]

That’s because 99.9% of people building fence don’t wear any protection other then gloves but if they don’t tell you to do it then you can bet someone is going to get hurt and try suing them.

You mean 24 inches deep right? Not 48.
