      ​@@DIYwithWayne I have a wooden picket fence , that's used as a runway by the squirrels to get to my neighbors multiple bird feeders .Would it do any good to run a hot wire on top where they like to run? I wouldn't mind but they're chewing it up with their claws . If it won't work ,do have any other suggestions?

    Thank you Wayne, I moved to town from our farm when my husband passed away. We always had electric fences but my sweet husband did them, I knew how they worked but it’s been years since I needed one. Now I have a dog that needs a fence to keep her in. Your video was the refresher that I needed. Thank you.

      Hello, I built an electric fence out of chicken wire and put it around my peach tree. I noticed the squirrels aren’t getting shocked when they jump off the wooden fence onto the electric fence. So, is it because they’re not touching the ground?

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  7 місяців тому

      Yes, To get a shock, they must be touching the wire and a ground at the same time.

    Thankyou so much for going step by step on how to set one up. As being a widow I have a dog, that needs a fenced yard to play. I cannot afford to have a fully fenced yard and this seems more affordable right now. Now my dog will be able to spend some good time out side without my worry of him running off after Bunnies

    My family always had a lot of electric fences around the farm and we used numerous gates connected with the spring loaded handles, like you showed.
    A word of warning is in order. After these are exposed to the sun for a couple years they get little bitty cracks. This was not a problem until it rained and you grabbed onto one to open it! Always replace these when they look dull and sun baked every few years!

    Great video thanks. Perhaps I missed it - could you briefly explain how power gets to all of your fence strands ?
    Power goes from the charger to the bottom strand and then you tie all strands together by twisting some of your aluminum wire between the strands - is that how it’s done? Thank you.

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  7 місяців тому

      Yes, just connect all the lines together. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

    • @nickpowell5142

      Can you connect the fence strands using the poly/ wire rope? How about from the charger to the fence, what kind of wire do use there? Thanks

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  7 місяців тому

      I use the wire not the poly. Both will work but you will get better results with the wire. The poly does not hold it's shape and will get loose.

      Yes, A little will not have much effect but will degrade the charge. It's best to keep the grass off the wire. Good luck with your project and have a great day.

    Thank you very much Wayne for this very helpful video, I just have a couple of questions. Does it matter what metal you use for the ground rod? What is the best? Also do you need a special wire to connect the 3 wires together and to connect the ground rod to the charger?

    • @DIYwithWayne

      The best ground rod is copper. However I just use an old steel rod, sometimes cheap rebar. They all work. Use the same wire to connect the wires together. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

    Hi Wayne. Thanks for the video. I think the charger I bought might actually work even though it says indoor use only. One thing I didn't see in your video is where you plugged into acll 110v source . If you use an extension cord, what do you do to keep the connection dry? If not an extension cord, do you have 110v run to an outdoor outlet near you garden?

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  Рік тому +1

      I think they all say indoor use only. In my case, I put a bucket over it and that keeps the rain off it. I do use a drop cord but would like to install an outlet close to it. Most of the time I just lay the drop cord connection over the bucket and that has worked well for me for years.
      Good luck with your project and have a great day.

    Thank you for this great video! I have a question. I'm building an electric fence on my existing fence to keep my foster dog from climbing it. The existing fence is 5 ft "no-climb (yeah, right)" ranch fencing. The insulators are on the INSIDE of the fence (5 inch extended insulators), so that if the dog tries to climb, he will very likely hit the wire. Should I put my controller and ground poll on the INSIDE of the fence or the OUTSIDE? If they are on the outside of the fence, I will have to feed the hot wire through the fencing (or maybe over it) to connect it to the first insulator, which might risk it actually touching the existing fence. But if the controller and ground poll are on the inside, it seems less safe for the dogs on the inside of the fence. Thanks!

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  6 місяців тому +1

      It does not matter if the controller and ground rod is inside or outside the fence. If the controller is outside the fence you need to make sure the electric fence wire does not touch the existing fence and you can do this by running the wire through a short piece of plastic pipe. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

    • @streetdogs2459

      @@DIYwithWayne Thank you Wayne! One more question (I hope). The most accessible location for the controller turns out to be about 5 feet from an aluminum shed, and therefore the location for the ground rod is 5 feet from the aluminum shed. But I've read that you need to place the ground rod at least 25 feet from a metal structure. It will be a real pain to run power out to the other end of the fence line, which is about 80 feet from the shed, but it can be done. Should I go through the pain of moving the controller to the other end of the fence line? Or can I try it in the more convenient place, but close to the shed?

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  6 місяців тому

      Place the ground rod where it is continent. In years past I had horses in an electric fence and the controller was inside a metal barn and the ground rod was just outside the barn door. Good luck.

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  10 місяців тому

      No, One wire goes to the wire on the fence post and the other goes to a ground rod. The closed loop is made when an animal touches the wire while standing on the ground. So, if a bird lands on the wire, no shock to the bird. I hope this helps and good luck with your project and have a great day.

      If he is only using your fence for the ground point, it will not effect your fence. Just make sure he does not attach the hot side to it. If he does attach the hot side, it would most likely ground out the hot side and make it ineffective. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

    I have a 12' X 24' screened in porch that is under attack by neighborhood cats. It is screened in with typical fiberglass dark-gray screen that is easily clawed by the cats. I am thinking that some sort of electrification would be effective. Would the kind of electrification you show in your video (good work on that video, BTW) work with a 4' wide welded wire mesh installed along the lower part of the screened area, instead of using the three or four single wires as in your garden fence? As an example, Home Depot Model# 308362B is my initial thought on this.

    • @robertrominger6652
      @robertrominger6652 Рік тому

      I just had an annoying thought. If the cat jumps from the ground to the fence, the fence wouldn't have any effect at all because the cat would not be creating a circuit from the fence to the ground. Maybe a system where 6 single wires like on the system you built, but spaced 6" apart with three of the wires positively charged, and the other three wires negative (or ground), with the positive/negative wires alternating in position so as to make it more likely for the cat to contact a positive wire and a negative wire simultaneously. I'm open for any suggestions. Thanks.

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  Рік тому +1

      I would not use the fence. It costs too much and would be difficult to insulate from everything around it. Your best idea is alternating hot and ground wires. Good luck with your project and have a great day.

    • @DIYwithWayne

      You should NEVER use a continuous fence charger because if you touch it you may not be able to let go. The chargers sold for electric fences DO pulse. This will eliminate the chance of getting hurt or killed. I have known of people using an electrical outlets in their house and just plug the wire into it. This IS CONTINIOUS and can de deadly.
      I have not used the chargers with a battery because I have always had access to an electrical outlet. I would think the charge would degrade as the battery gets weaker, but I don't know for sure. Good luck with your project and have a great day.
