I have a horse fence charged without a charger -- one segment of it runs below high-tension power lines. A volt meter shows 7 VAC on the 10 scale when the negative probe planted in the dirt, but changing the scale doesn't adjust the reading correspondingly. The 250 volt scale shows a hundred volts. You can just feel the electricity (feels like 20-30 volts), but voltage doesn't change at any point on this looped 1/2 mile of fence. There is some nice of inductive kick effect when you make repeated light touches. Hooking up a charger slowly burns out the charger. How can this be modified to voltage high enough to deter the horses, or allow a charger to be hooked up? Also, bringing flourescent tubes close the lines causes them to light up steady but dim (every by themselves). Can't look visible sparks no matter what you touch to what.

Here is my team. Please let me know what you think and if I need to make any substitutions or just leave it the same.

30+ year old fence charger-labeled to take a 6 volt battery. Is there a transformer/mechanism I can install to convert to 12 voltage? Parmak is the brand-silver box. Everyone seems to remember their dad having one-3 drop posts for ground, normal, and dry-knob for mizer, reg, and test. Thanks a bunch.

I have 2 old parmak electric fence chargers that take a 6 volt battery(recomended). I am reading alot about 12 volt frying electric components like bulbs/wiring in 6 volt cars. But can I hurt such a simple device as a fence charger?

Packers over Lions Giants over Rams Saints over Redskins Jaguars over Bills Bengals over Titans - No Vince Young on the road = no wish. Chiefs over Raiders - Unless denver had a fluke sunday night, KC should dominate with ease Colts over Vikings - Sorry adrian peterson cant do it every himself. Panthers over Bears - Delhomme is looking very good, bears will probably lose on the road. Falcons over Buccaneers - Ryan, Turner..... If they play like week 1 or anything close it, it shouldn't be a toguh game for the rookie qb. Seahawks over 49ers - 0-2 would be a horrible start for seattle, i don't look them allowing another loss for the time being Broncos over Chargers - On the fence about this one but im just not a SD believer Patriots over Jets - Even without brady, the pats got a better team. Cardinals over Dolphins Texans over Ravens - The texans can dish out points, the ravens can't Steelers over Browns Cowboys over Eagles - Dallas is at home and a better team on paper. Post your thoughts

I'm trying to figure out how to electrify a metal grid in order to deter pests from entering a flowerbed. Fencing isn't an option. I'd like the grid to lie fairly close to the ground in order to remain inconspicuous. I'd prefer not to have to buy a charger (I'd rather plug it into an outside electrical outlet). How do I do this?

I would like to know a little bit more about what people think of different types of electric charger. Like brand wise. The prize is 10 points!!!!!!! What do you like best? electric wire?tape?rope?

does a single wire electric fence need to make a full circle back to the charger in order for it to work properly?

on our local news last night they reported that a police officer rammed his police charger into 3 parked cars and a fence while off duty he was drunk when the police arrived to the seen they gave him a breath test and he was drunk the lady he was with when he hit the cars fled the sean the police gave the drunk officer a ticket but didn't book him in jail they let him go home i have never heard of anyone totaling 4 cars and a fence one being a police car while being drunk and not being booked in jail now he has been fired from his job but they have yet to press drunk driving charges now what do you think now if you don't believe me check out ksl.com

i have about 10 acers below fence four strand 17 gauge smooth wire which i wish to contain goats in i need a charger that does not require electricity as it is on the wrong side of the road from my home and cant run electricity to it

I have a tiny window box veranda for our cats. We're looking at building something larger though and will need supports but we don't want to have snakes coming into the home from crawling up supports. We have a lot of water moccasins in the area with a creek running behind our property. So should I use a fence charger or some apparatus to put an electric field around the support to keep them off it? Ideas?

Hi, So last year I bought a solar charger and put up electric fencing for my horse. We then, of course, moved. I brought the charger with me and finally put up a three-strand wire fence at the new home. The fencing is on T posts with insulators, but now I'm having a problem. If I turn on the charger WITHOUT a ground the needle shows it in the green "working fine" area, but there's no shock. When I connect it to the two ground rods I put in the needle drops to the red "check fence" area on the charger and there's still no shock. I used a little two prong tester to test the wires every the way around (it's 2 acres) and there is some current getting to the wires, but not enough to produce anything I can feel with my bare hand. I checked every the insulators, clip away every vegetation, still nothing. If I disconnect everything from the fence and turn on the charger it swings back to the green zone. I did let the battery charge in the sun for about two weeks before setting it up. So, any ideas on what might be wrong? I tied little vinyl ribbons on the fence so my horse could look the wires and not run into them, but since they aren't touching anything I don't think that could ground it out. Maybe I'm wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! I also wanted to add that before I had three wires on five acres and that the charger is rated for up to 25 acres. It's also not giving off any shock at every, not even a tingle.

I sold my first horse several years ago, and now his owner and I are friends on facebook. I like that because I can look pictures of how he is doing, etc. Well, her status today that says she is basically being harassed by her neighbors, because they keep calling animal control on them saying the horses are in needy living conditions. Then animal control comes out and finds that the horses are fine, and they leave, etc. They also have been unplugging the fence charger and opening the lock gate. (Unless the horse magically figured out how to unlock the gate and unplug the fence... knowing my old horse, that's not entirely out of the question LOL). However, when she informed her neighbors that she was installing a camera to figure out how the horses were getting out, the problem magically stopped. (there is no camera ;-] Anyways... is there a certain point where if there are enough untrue alarm-tips from a single person, they can receive fined or something??? Like if they call and the situation isn't a legitimate situation in need of animal control, their credibility will decline or some other nice of measures will be taken? I told her she should receive some nice of a harassment order against them! Someone commented and said maybe a home will fall on her... hehe

The stupid gophers keep eating the outside wire and the landlord is not doing anything so I want to buy my possess charger. Has anyone had good luck with a solar charger? I live in the Northwest so the weather is kinda every over the place. In the spring we receive a lot of rain and in the winter we receive a lot of cloudy days. I need one that will be strong enough for five fenced acres with a few dividing lines. It is just a top wire as we have no-climb wire on the bottom and just need something to keep the horses off of it. I really would like to receive a good solar charger that is going to work well and last so if anyone has some good experiences I would adore to hear about them and which brand you are using. Thanks

I have about 600 feet (a tenth of a mile) of electric fence to run in a horse pasture. If I receive a higher volt (6 volts) that is sufficient for 10 miles of electric fencing, will there be enough power and am I able to connect a tank de-icer for about 15-20 gallons of water to the fence charger? If so, how can I do that?

What is better? Rope, tape or wire electric horse fencing? I don't want something that will sag as I am putting on top of the fencepost. Also - which is better? Solar, battery or wired chargers??? THANK YOU!!! Using a wired charger might be difficult in the area we are in - is the solar or battery charger better? My Arabs don't push on the fences but I just got an Andalusian 2 year old and she has already pushed over two fences. She just loves to rub and push on the fences.

I have a three year old Pinto Gelding that refuses to stay where he is put. If we put him in the pasture with his buddies he jumps the fence to receive out. If we put him in the corral with plenty of feed and water he jumps out and roams the yard. He use to run through the electric fence but we have sense gotten a higher voltage charger and have restrung the wire, so now he jumps out. The fence is 4-5 feet tall.

now it just hums and has a faint click, light still blinks. What could be wrong with it? Does it have fuses or batteries that I may need to check?

ok so my parents are gone for a month in atlanta they left me my dog and my cousin alone in the home they told her to take care of me but since i had bought a tickets to las vegas for her and her boyfriend (got my possess money)so i told her to leave and she did she said she would be back in a week so i had planned that while everyone was gone i would invite my friends over and have a pool party snooze over(it were u have a pool party and the ppl invited stay over at ur home)and i need help on some things first: what games can we play second: what food should i have three: what bikini should i wear (im slim not fat) four:what pijamas should i wear has to have something of the chargers five:what scary movies should we watch six:how can i receive my crush to notice me while in the pool and the snooze over seven:were should we every snooze these r my options ii have a big balcony on the third floor i have a big lving room on the first floor outside on the second floor next to the pool (because there is a grassy part and we can put up tents or something or ontop of the pool because there is this uhmmm how do u call it something like a bridge a big bridge like thing we had it built for my sisters b-day on the roof it has a fence around the edges or in my room its big enought to fit 3 ppl on the bed 5 on the left side of the floor and 7 on the right side and like 4 on the fornt of the bed so any ideas plz help asap best answer 10 points!!!!!!

This is long but well worth the read. I haven't laughed this difficult in months. STAR AND PASS IT ALONG!! Sandy We have the standard 6 ft. fence in the backyard, and a few months ago, I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make sure this never happened to me, I got an electric fence and ran a single wire along the top of the fence. Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had, made for 26 miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. long ground rod, and drove it 7.5 feet into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with the more you have in the ground, the better the fence works. One day I'm mowing the back yard with my cheapo Wal-Mart 6 hp big wheel push mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the yard. I knew for a fact that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the mower around the wire and reached down to grab it, to toss it out of the way. It seems as though I hadn't remembered to unplug it after every. Now I'm standing there, I've got the running lawnmower in my right hand and the 1.7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow on flame on the cover. Time stood still. The first thing I notice is my pecker trying to climb up the front side of my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the lawnmower ignition firing in the backside of my brain. Every time that Briggs & Stratton rolled over, I could feel the spark in my head. I was literally at one with the engine. It seems as though the fence charger and the piece of shit lawnmower were fighting over who would control my electrical impulses. Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg to differ. Not only did I do every three at once, but my bowels emptied 3 different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix nice of bowel movement, where time is creeping along and you're every leaned back and BAM BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 times. It seemed like there were minutes in between but in reality it was so close together it was like exhaust pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand. At this point I'm about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding onto the fence wire. My hand is wrapp

Please no rude comments, this is just a thought. I am in the process of building a larger pasture, and i was wanting to use barb less wire, with wood post every 10 feet apart. I will be making this hot, using a solar charger. and adding the color full tape for visibility. I cannot use field fence at this time because the area the horses will be in is really brushy and hilly. There is no flat ground. I have uses tape and thin Electric wire in the past and that doesn't hold up. Any suggestions or will this be okay?

I had a pool installed and the contractor didn't dig the pool out how was explained (deep end). In the process of installing the pool I asked him why there wasn't a larger deep end like we discussed and he said it would be there they just haven't gotten to that point. A couple days later I asked one of his guys why they were about to install everything but this part of the pool wasn't dug out more and they told me "well we found some sort of cable below where we were digging that wasn't marked so we couldn't dig anymore". This of course was known when I first asked but wasn't told. He said he was going to use some of the dirt he dug out and back fill a part of my yard that was a little off-level and make it look "pretty". He said he wouldn't charge me to do this. When asked about hauling off the dirt I had someone who wanted a lot of dirt that was going to arrive and receive it so whatever wasn't used I assumed would be put in a pile for me to haul away. However, he took every the extra dirt and tried to backfill not part of my yard, but my ENTIRE YARD, even the parts that were already level. It's now even more off-level than before and the parts that were off level have huge clumps of red clay that will take a solid month of rain to settle. He also pushed about 3 feet of dirt against my back fence where it was most off level and broke a fence post and seperated another panel from my neighbor's fence. 3 days prior to filling pool with water they set up a portable pool which was to be used to pump about 2,000 gallons of water into the pool vs waiting for my water hose to fill it. One of the days I went into my yard there was even more dirt shuffled around my yard and I had only about two sections tiny sections of grass left next to my home. I asked him why he did that and he said that the portable pool colapsed "probably from the heat sucking the liner back into the pool". Later my wife found out from one of his guys that it was actually because he didn't put the pool together right so it came apart. He flooded my yard with 2,000 gallons of water and pushed a bunch of dirt on it to cover the water up. I'm now going to have to pay someone to level my ENTIRE yard, not just where they were working, put down sod, and hand dig about 2 feet of dirt (red clay that's in huge clumps) in about a 4x20 foot section. This guy was constantly asking to be paid before he was even finished while he was there. He kept saying he'd do more work for a specific price, that was originally discussed but I told him I didn't want him to. Then he'd knock on my door and say, he'd do it fore more than the original price but if I went and got him cash he'd do it for what we originally discussed. (have receipts describing every work agreed and payment). I paid him half of what was owed before he even started, and he was a week tardy starting the job, his guys left cigarette butts every over my yard, found receipts where they went to the gas station and would receive a beer then arrive back, one guy did donuts out in the road with his truck, I can't even walk into my backyard because it's every either compacted dirt at least 6 inches deep or huge piles of unsettled red clay dirt up to 3 feet deep. He told me I just needed to water the yard and the grass would arrive back -- really? Maybe I need to pray for a months worth of rain. He also had the nerve to plug in a battery charger to MY home because his POS truck wouldn't charge it. One day my wife went outside and saw him pushing his truck with his bobcat to receive it to start! He then told me when I told him I didn't know what I was going to do about payment that I put him in a bind because he has a warrant out for his arrest for an unpaid ticket! Can I withhold the relax of this guys money on the grounds I'm going to use it to fix my yard and whatever is left he'll receive as payment? 3 pallets of sod = $400, ground leveling = ???, getting divorce papers from my wife because i don't receive my yard fixed thanks to a crappy contractor = priceless

Hello, I'm a first time horse owner and we've bought an electric charger for our fencing. It says that it's good for up to fifteen miles, but we won't be fencing in fifteen miles. Does that mean the 'zap' will be stronger? I know this sounds sick, but it's a question my mom and I were wondering. If you could answer this I would greatly appreciate it! I know not to use barbed wire, it's not adequate fencing for a horse. The only reason I put 'first time horse owner' is because I've been boarding every my life. Thanks for the advice though!

We want to install an electric fence around the pasture where we are going to keep our horses. We plan to install a solar electric fence. But we have questions. The pasture already has a fence around it. So the system we are going to install will only be around the top of the fence. We are assuming that we need to run the conductor around the entire pasture. We have read where we should take the wire underground at the few gates we have. We have also read where the system needs to be grounded. Do we need to run the conductor around the entire pasture and also to take the wire underground at the few gates we have? Besides the solar charger, do we need to ground anything? We read on one site where we should run a wire to ground every few hundred feet.

We've recently corned off a big area for our chickens and ducks and put up a nice fence about 3 1/2' tall.. after about 2 days later we realized that the chickens had a way of getting out and checked for any possible gaps and found none.. we then realized they were able to jump up on to the fence and down and want to put a piece of electrical wire running along the top of the wooden fence posts.. Would this be as simple as running the wire round the fence.. connecting one end of the wire to the positive end of a car battery and the other to the end to the negative? I have a battery charger so the battery running down a lot needn't be a problem.

the wall charger came with a 1100 mah but i just bout an 1600 mah yes i know i need a smart charger i ordered one and the dumb ups guy threw over my fence and my dogs broke it. so can i charge the 1600 mah with the wallcharger?

my dog is about 5 mo old, she is not fixed yet, im waiting for her to receive a few weeks older.she chews on everything, she has chewed her way aout of a 90 dollar kennel, breaking it, 2 laptop chargers, phones, she chewed her way through a door, she chewed tile off the cloor and wallpaper off the walls and even into the wall and trust me she gets tons of chew toys.i cannot even imagine how much money she has cost me, probably at least a thousand.i cant leave her home alone and when i take her in my car she chews up the interior, i cant put her in a fence outside cause she finds a way out of it so every i can do is put her on a short chain and even then sometimes she breaks lose and tears up my neighbors trash and im scared she is gonna hurt another dog because she is so excited, and i cant take her to a park either because she refuses the leash. i have tried everything, my husband and i have began to battle every the time about it.i cant afford this anymore, i gave her away once but after doing some investigating i figured out the people who adopted her had a pitbull who wasent registered so i went and got her back.im trying real difficult to receive a job but i dont know what to do with her while im gone.i cant give her away cause i feel that the way she is she would receive hurt real bad by someone else or put to snooze.i know getting her fixed will help but i dont think she will ever change.what should i do?what do you do exactly when you walk in a room and look your dog chewing something up?how can i start to leave her alone in my home so i can go to work? and lastly, i got a kitten, and she is trying to kill it.litterally, i have to keep it locked up in a spare bedroom and go inside there to keep it company, how do i prevent her from killing my cat? ps the is a boxer mix and i cant afford dog sitting or behavioral classes

I am not sure if the unit is working, except that the light comes on. How do I check to look if it is delivering a charge?

My electric fence is DEAD! My charger is still showing power on and blinking but nothing is coming out of it. Could the fence charger actually be dead and still blink saying its acting properly? I have put testers on it, inspected the whole fence, found no shorts and I'm back to the box?????

Awile back i had a dream Where i was walking wit my pal in some sort of slum when a car wit a truck bed for the front hit us gently enough for us to ride it. This took us up a sick to a steer through Mcdonalds and i never ordered but the guy told me it was 8 dollars. I gave him a 20 and he Handed me back 2 dollars and we left. We were then at someones home which i assumed was also a jewlery store. We hopped a fence and came in through the back sliding glass door and from there i saw a Door, I picked the lock with a screwdriver and entered to find a room tat looked like mine, Except the only things in it were My bed and night stand. There was a girl on my bed and i saw that her phone was charging so i Took the phone off the charger and replaced it with my possess Phone. When i looked at the girls phone it brought up a webpage that resembled a facebook. On the left collum was The girl that i like except She looked like a caveman and had one eyebrow. It Didnt really look like her but i knew it was her. HaHa trippy. Any ideas on what this could mean? And i didnt think it was necessary to say this but i dont do drugs. :|

I bought an electric fence a few months back. It's a tiny 2 mile charger that I got for my back yard, which is only about an acer big, to keep my dogs in the back. At first it worked perfectly. The light goes on and off and there was a pulsing current going through the entire fence. every of a sudden it just stopped working. The light still goes on and off but I'm not getting an current. I thought something may be grounded somewhere along the fence line but after I cleared some stuff I tried to receive a shock by holding the ground wire to look if its working and I'm not getting any shock at every from the ground. I pulled on it a bit and got one shock and I cant receive another. I'm sure it is grounded right because I haven't touched it since it was working before. Wouldn't I receive a shock from the ground even if something was touching the fence line? I really would like some help because I have to tie my dogs into my shed and I don't like keeping them in there. Please help any advice will be appreciated. Thank you

we just hooked up our eletric fence and it is not working, the charger itself works, it shocked my husband, but no power is going to the fence wire, he can hold onto the wire and it does'nt shock him. Could this be a ground problem?

We know that orientation of a solar panel on a fence charger makes a big difference in the amount of energy collected. So if we consider a plant as a solar energy collector does it influence yield if we plant so the rows collect the most sunlight?

I have an electric fence charger that I want to run with solar power. Can I buy the panels and hook it up through that? If so, How do I make sure that they panels can give me enough juice to run it?

Ok well Landon (my pal Summer's obnoxious annoying little brother) got a new phone for Christmas and Me and Summer were looking at it....on the front porch. He fell on the cracked open door and hit his butt on the floor when he fell and he looked like he was laughing. So me and Summer started laughing and then he says "I'm GONNA KILL YOU" to me and chases me across the road until Summer and I run in my home ...but Landon shows up and won't cease trying to bust into my home...He was ringing the doorbell over and over and he came to the side door and tried to pick the lock. He opened the fence in my backyard and let BOTH of my dogs run to the highway. Then Summer threatened to call her dad and he ran home. When she told her dad what happend he just said "GO HOME! NOW!!!" About ten minutes later,Summer walks to my home to receive her phone charger crying. Then she said "My Dad said I can't ever arrive to your home again" she had to leave. Is there anything I did? Why is she in trouble? Isn't Landon a brat?

im from placer county california and i was coming home from college at 9:00 pm the police report said i was going approximately 90 mph but i was well over 100 on interstate 80, max 65mph, i was in the third lane "quick lane" i crossed over to the 2nd lane to pass a car and was about to receive back into the quick lane once i passed the vehicle, a black dodge charger was in front of me in the second lane and before i could receive passed the car in the third lane the charger slammed on its brakes as did i. then i quickly got into the 1st lane "slow lane" and passed the vehicles. the charger began to chase no lights or sirens but in the report he says he activated them at the start of the chase i then sped off thinking it was either a enraged citizen driving a chargermad at my excessive speed, police charger, or security charger which are a dime a dozen in my county. due to me wearing my tinted vizor and it being night it would be difficult to make out. anyway i took off maxing out my cbr600rr at 164 tipping over into 165 for about 2 min. and driving on the sholder most the time due to no passing lanes availiable, then i look in my mirrors and there was nothing, but a second later still at 164 there was the charger with lights on right on my ass which is weird because we were both doing 164 and in the report oddly enough it said approximate max speed reached 120, anyway so i slowed know knowing it was police 4 sure and took an imediate leave, on the leave ramp i slowed down looking like i was gonna tug over then at about 20mph on the leave ramp i receive rammed difficult and flew out into the intersection on a red light barley missing traffic i some how stayed on my bike but lost my mind. i then took off fulll bore driving through redlights and residetials getting a couple of feet in the air as i flew over about 5 speed bumps at around 100mph at this time there were around 5 police everywhere but theyt were not chasing me it was only the charger that was i pulled into a elementry school and headed for the hallway because the pursuit vehicle couldnt fit, he then rammed me right before the hallway and sent me airborne in a nose wheelie knocking off my liscence dish and rear blinkers. i land still riding away in the back of the school and i just stoped because there was no back way out i parked my bike and it began to sink in that im screwed so i took off my helmet and took my keys out of the bike and jumped a fence that backed up to the school and found an unlocked travel trailer so i went in and layed down the helicopter soon came but left about an hour later then another hour went by and the owner of the home and the officer that was driving the charger came in the back yard and checked every his sheds and then the trailor so i just stood up and put my hands behind my back and appologized to the owner of the home and the officer, then the officer stragley enough appologized to me "sorry about that i thought it was a stolen bike" which it was not and i have a valid m1 drivers lisence and no priors and im 22 they threw me in jail and set my bail at 50,000 so i payed the 5,000 to a bail bonds man and got out 14 hrs later. in the police report it doesnt say anything about the officer raming my bike or him apologizing i hired a defense attorney but im looking for more opinions. thank you for reading and would appreciate any help.

using a 6V solar fence charger and 130watt 5 gal pail. In interior Alaska with only 3-4 hrs daylight right now. How would I convert the pail from A/C?

Hey ya every! Hvaen't been on here forever, look some familar faces still here, mulereiner and others:) anyways getting ready to move mare onto possess property and need to receive soem opions and idea's for fencing. We have a acre and half pasture we are going to be using for my mare. We are going to go for the electric fencing with a solar pannel fence charger. The web and mesh fence seems more attractive but less sturdy. I thought about regular hot wire , with still the solar power charger? What do you use and what are your po's and con's to them? We will be using regualr metal t-posts with the insulators. I am thinking the fence will be at least three strands. Has anyone else used the solar pannel cahrgers, I live in a moderate winter climiate , where we receive snow, planning on just brushing the snow off the pannel daily. If you use the solar pannel , is this been sufficent for you? Also intrested in composting for the poo. Anyone else try this and how much work does it take? I have a neighbor that has kids that mine play with (school age early preteen) I know i have to have signs stating electric fence, for protection, I am just worried about liabilty, do i need to receive a state liabilty sign to just to ease my mind, Which I have already said no one is to be out in the pature without me, but still you know how some want their kids to go over and pet the neighbors horse-lol! Also with our winters i thought about what our boarding barn does and divid the pasture in half for one side can recupe during winter anyone else do this and what are the pro's and con's or suggestions. Thanks again for your time, I am a organization freak-lol and like to plan ahead of things so researching every i can before my mare moves home:) Thank you Barbed wire is never a option with horses and a big no-no, it is asking for a injury. The mesh is not wire like in rual field dividers, i was talking about the electric tape mesh. Thank you for every the idea's and options:)

When I connect the meat to wires from the battery, there is no shock. I ordered a fence charger from doitbest.com, that didn't work, so I must find a way to make it happen with a battery. I'm beginning to consider using 110 AC because the contact is so brief, I don't think it would hurt them. Any suggestions?

Hey every! Moved my mare on my property this past spring on 1 1/2 acres, thaat is fenced with the braided electric rope, and solar charger, very glad with the fence by the way. but need some idea's on pasture rotation. My mare has her 1 1/2 acres divided in half, the back field was flooded a lil over a month ago, and since has not been growing properly at every.I live in the upper midwest where I have snowy and wet winters. My question is i was always told that you should let one field relax for four weeks to grow back,a have the horse on the other.How in the world is this possible?Whithout her damaging the other field that she is on ? Like I stated earlier, the back field dosn't have that well of drainainge when we receive a big downpour, so lately with the rain I have had to move her to the front field more, cuz if not she would tear up what is already muddy in the back. I am dreading winter-hahah. Any suggestions? Also what do you use to keep alagee down in your water tanks? I have a 100 gallon rubbermaid water trough, and with the heat I like to keep it completely filled, but yet every 3 days have to dump cuz of algee and the heat. My mom said something about copper pennies being used,never heard of it. What do you use? Thanks

I have a Golden Retriever that is a year and a half and a Husky that is 9 months old. I can't leave them inside because they have destroyed the sofa, the table, the walls, magazines....everything i leave out (look list below). I put them outside when I'm gone and it is a huge problem too. They have ate the drain pipes, the blossom bed lining, MY BRAND NEW FLOWERS!!!! and hell they even ate our security sign (its made of metal). For the inside of the home I've tried Bitter Apple, and it helps sometimes (but not always). I don't know what to do about the outside, they have PLENTY toys to play with and everything. They also try to dig holes to the other side of the freaking planet. So far they have ate: tampoline, drain pipes, trees, flowers, dug wholes, blossom bed lining, fences, patio furniture, blankets, clothes, magazines, 4 cell phone chargers, 3 xbox controllers, 2 xbox headsets, 2 remote controls, 5 dvds & cases, basically anything they can receive their teeth on... I'm so fed up and frustrated, sleepy of smacking them for it because it isn't working.... Any suggestions would be great!!!! Shana

That sounds confuzzling ! Lol. What I mean to say is - My electric fence is powered by a portable energiser which is connected to a 12 volt car battery. What I want to know is can I connecr a solar unit to the battery to keep it topped up or do i have to keep taking it and plugging it into the charger ?

OK, we are stumped. We have approx. 1 1/4 acre paddock. We've strung new wire across the top, every is put in properly with the yellow insulators etc. and the entire fence line has been cleared of anything that could possibly arrive in contact with it. We bought a fence charger (Gallagher Wrangler), hooked it to the ground rod and plugged it in. The unit is clicking nicely, but there is no charge going through the wire. We are completely at a loss. Is there something that we missed? The horse has been getting out and we are in a desperate situation. P.S. We do have a solar panel fence charger but the battery has to charge up and we are using the electric in the meantime. We have to keep the horse in before a disaster happens. Thanks!

We already have an electric fence set up in our field but the battery keeps dying and it is a real pain. I want to use a solar panel to charge the 12V car battery that is the power source for our fence. I know nothing about solar panels besides the fact that they are direct current. What would I need to buy to charge the fence with solar panels? Could I just buy a solar panel and hook it up (however you do that) to our car battery that is connected to the fence charger or do I need to buy the whole set up for a solar powered electric fence? I don't want to over charge the battery- what size solar panel would I need to safely charge the battery and do I need a charge controller (whatever that is)? I've tried researching online, but every I keep getting is adds for the complete solar powered electric fence set up. Any help would be appretiated thanks.

Two Chargers running two fences. Can I use the same ground wire?

What charger seems to work best for tiny animals like dogs or goats? Also, how do you pick what wire to use? I was thinking about 17ga because it's smaller. Does the gauge depend on the size of the animal or personal preference? Also, what do you use for your horses, cows, goats, etc? Any tips in general fencing equipment and maintance? Thanks =]
