Hello There Lovely Readers

How much power is needed to protect and deter animals?

We get asked this question a few times by people checking they have enough power on their fence, how much power do I need on my fence to keep x animal in or x animal out?

Below we go through what you need. Whether you are either protecting your animals/garden from predictors or keeping your animals in for their safety.

What we will go through in this blog is the recommended Voltage per animal, recommended heights

An electric fence is as good as the power that supplies it!

As winter draws in it is time to double check that your battery is in tip top working order.

Battery Tips:

• Think about covering your battery. As the temperatures drop so does the battery's efficiency.  Stand your battery on a wooden box, cover with a bucket to keep frost, snow, ice off.  Make your battery like you when you go out ... cover up, stay as dry as you can and keep warm!
• Freezing weather on an unprotected battery will

Well your fields have been in full use now for a few months and I am sure the animals have tested the fencing a few times, tried to munch it and also there has been vegetation growth. Here are some Mid-Summer checks for temporary and permanent fences

Here are some things to check and look out for.

1. Check your power source?

If mains - are all the connections still nice and tight no fraying? If battery - battery still charging? Are the energiser battery connections in place? If you are using a

This blog should help you to understand one of the most essential and useful accessories of an electric fencing system - the Earth Stake or Earth Rod.

Earth Stake or Earth Rod - A Guide:

Most electric fencing problems are caused by poor earthing.  Having a good earth system connected to your electric fence will ensure a system that works effeciently - this is often over looked but is perhaps as important as planning the fence layout or choosing the right energiser.

Always bear in mind that all

Pigs.

I think people think pigs are very dirty stinky animals but that is not true. Yes pigs like to wallow in the mud (much like my dog......)

While it is well accepted knowledge that pigs wallow in mud in order to regulate body temperature and keep cool, but did you know it is also for their wellbeing. So a happy pig has food and water, shelter with bedding, a wallowing hole, a place to forage and interaction from humans.

Keeping them where you want them:

Solar Panels

Use solar powered electric fencing to safe time and be good to the environment – get the low down on solar power for electric fencing.

What does a solar panel do?

Basically a solar panel takes sunlight and converts it into power that can be used by an electric fencing energiser.  It does not power the energiser directly – the solar panel feeds

power to a 12v battery and the energiser converts this power to what it needs to send a zap
