Local codes often limit fence height, require the wire to face inward, or ban energizers near public walkways. Some areas require a visible warning sign every 10 metres. Your installer should know the rules in your district, but you can save time by calling the building department yourself and asking about setbacks, easements, and any homeowner association limits that apply.
The energizer should be mounted indoors or under cover, near a GFCI outlet, and within 10 to 15 feet of the fence start. For remote properties, a 12 volt battery unit or a solar panel kit works, but battery voltage drops in cold weather, so solar sizing matters. Ask the installer to size it to perimeter length, not just acreage.
Corners take the most tension and need braced H-posts or concrete-set wood posts. Gates need a buried cable, a wireless gate link, or a spring-loaded handle that keeps current continuous when the gate opens. Without that link, the fence goes dead every time you walk through. Verify each access point on the plan before the crew starts digging.
Vegetation touching the wire drains voltage fast. Keep grass and vines trimmed 6 inches away on both sides. Loose wire tension at corners, cracked insulators in sun, and rodent damage to underground cable are common. A quick monthly walk with a fault finder or a blinking light at the energizer catches most issues before the fence stops working.
An installer visits your home, maps the perimeter, marks post positions, drives or sets posts, runs wire or tape, mounts insulators, places the energizer, and grounds the system. They also connect a warning sign at every gate and access point, then test voltage end to end. Plan on one to two crew members on site for half a day to a full day, depending on length and terrain.
A site visit usually includes measuring the perimeter, counting corners and gates, and noting soil type for the ground rods. Soft, dry, or sandy soil needs more ground rods than clay. Expect the installer to walk the line with you, mark post positions, and flag underground utilities before any digging starts. This step prevents broken pipes and a cancelled job halfway through.
Most weak fences trace back to poor grounding, not weak energizers. A standard residential install needs 3 ground rods, 6 to 8 feet long, spaced 10 feet apart, driven into damp soil. Dry, sandy, or rocky soil may need more rods. Ask the installer to test ground resistance with a meter and aim for under 25 ohms.
A simple single-line pet loop around a standard yard takes a crew of 2 about 4 to 6 hours. A multi-strand perimeter on uneven ground can stretch over 2 days. Delays usually come from hard soil, root systems, or hidden utilities. Ask the installer for a realistic window and what conditions would push the job to a second day.
Save the energizer model and serial number, the warranty card, the test voltage reading at the far end of the fence, and the ground resistance value the installer measured. Keep the as built sketch showing post spacing, gate locations, and where the underground cable runs. That sketch saves hours later when you need a repair or a new owner takes over.
Pet containment is the top reason, usually for dogs that test fences. Second is deterring wildlife, like deer, raccoons, or stray animals from gardens or trash areas. A third, often overlooked reason is protecting pools, since local codes may require a barrier around water features. Tell the installer which problem matters most, because wire height and spacing depend on it.
