Electric Fencing
« on: December 30, 2011, 15:36 »
Hi from France

Chooks now being pestered by neighbours dog. Gallic shoulder shrug when i spoke to them about it. Garden too  big to fence totally, so i'm thinking of electric fence round the run.
Nothing fancy, just couple strands of wire at low level connected to car battery ?? (Same as keepers use round pheasant pens)
Is it that simple  :unsure:
Can anyone point me in right direction.

Merci bien.

There is a lot of information on here about the netting electric fences

Hi this system has worked for me (touch wood) I have three wires going around my run, top wire about a foot off ground, this has put the fox off so should work for a dog, I am using a battery which they use on farms it is a simple system just make sure grass and leaves etc dont touch bottom wire, good luck ;)

A car battery loses its charge very quickly so a leisure battery would be better. As you are trying to keep the dog out it is often suggested that once you have the fence set up you bait the fence with food eg a sausage so that the dog gets the idea! :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!
