Keep Raccoons Away. How to Keep Raccoons Out From Your Yard With an Electric fence

- UPDATE: The electric fence has been up now for over a month. The GFCI does not trip, which initially was a concern. The electric fence definitely works. I watch our video recordings every morning, and no raccoons at all in our pool. We have lived here for over 20 years, and usually had the raccoons come in and drink water and swim at least a couple of times per week, leaving feces in the pool or on the deck. Finally the raccoons are staying away!
******************************************************************************************************
I finally found a solution to keep raccoons out of my pool deck. They would come in and swim in the pool, and leave feces on the pool deck and in the water. I didn't want to hurt them, just scare them away, and this electric fence was the solution. It keeps the raccoons away. If you are having the same problem as me or with raccoons coming into your garden and ruin your flowers or vegetables, then this may be your solution as well.

Thank you very much for this video - I think it is one the best video instruction on how to run an electric fence.
I like the idea of having the 3d wire which is ground, between the other 2 hot wires.
Well done!
If you can find a place you can fit your closed hand/fist threw. 3-4 wide inch hole. Even 8 feet off the ground upside down.. Even if it requires pulling or bending a wire..
1% chance is only 100 attempts, the racoon will find it one day!.
"Actually they added one more wire at the very bottom of the fence. At a few places the dirt was low so a raccoon could enter underneath. They could have filled in with dirt, but it was easier just to add another wire. So from the ground the first wire is about 4", next one at 8", 12" and 16" People will not read this and Ask a 3rd time. Thank you for the Video."
I’m worn out from the raccoons here I’m the Midwest and I’m putting this on my roofs .
You are very gifted.
Thanks for the video on your install. First time someone indicated they used a ground wire on the fence. I need to keep raccoons off my roof. Unfortunately I can only put my proposed electric fence on two parts of the roof. The roof line is complicated and somewhat steep and there is a convenient stairway they use to get up
To make a 12” high fence, on a portable frame 6 ft long, I was thinking to use your idea of using alternating power (3) and ground (2) wires spaced ~3” apart. Of course I would not have any ground rod as you did. Does this concept seem like it might work?
Appreciate any input you can give!
Nice concrete finishing.
Your install looks well done. I would however recommend not using the copper wire for your grounding as it will create oxidation at the contact points which will cause contact issues. In your electric fence system you should only use galvanized, aluminum, or stainless steel components
Hello Sir
Very nice video. Please advise me where this system I can buy in Canada.
Thanks

The reason why I pulled up this video is to find out the effective height for keeping raccoons out and I listen to the whole thing and I don’t think it was ever mentioned I could be wrong but that was the information I was looking for
Twisted Pudding Thank you so much. I’ve only got one chicken left that’s completely traumatized because the others have been getting killed. First by raccoons and then by our own dogs. I spent $1000 on a guard dog and 16,000 on a chain-link fence to keep the guard dog in and it turns out that they are the ones killing my $1.50 chickens.
How many inches from earth dirt to each of 3 wires?
Thank you
No music needed. Just the how to. Thanks
Raccoons are way smarter and relentless than this. They will just find a way to jump over the wires. Traps or pellet rifles are the only solution.
Nope.. it works. I also added an electric fence around my garden after it was raided by coons. They don't go there anymore.
Why don't you talk?
