Posts are typically treated wood, steel T-posts, or fibreglass, set every 3 to 5 metres depending on terrain. High-tensile wire holds tension better than soft steel and resists sag over time. Insulators must match the post material; the wrong type lets current leak into the post and drains the energizer. Ask which brand and which UV rating the insulators carry.
An electric fence sends short pulses of current through a wire when something touches it. The shock is a deterrent, not a lethal barrier, and most home systems run on a low-impedance energizer powered by a plug or a 12 V battery with a solar panel. Ask which energizer brand and model is being proposed, and whether the joule output suits the total wire length on your property.
A typical residential fence of 300 to 500 linear feet takes 1 to 2 days with 2 crew members. Add half a day per 100 feet for rocky soil, slopes over 15 percent, or heavy brush clearing. Energizer setup, testing, and customer walkthrough add another 1 to 2 hours at the end of the job.
An installer needs to see slope, soil type, vegetation, and access for a post driver. Clay, rocky ground, or thick roots change labor time and equipment. They also need to locate the power source, usually an outdoor outlet within 50 feet of the energizer. Ask for a written, line item quote after the walkthrough, not a phone guess.
Ask for a written warranty on the energizer (often 2 to 5 years) and a separate labour warranty on the installation, usually 12 months. Request the energizer model, joule rating, ground rod layout, and a simple voltage reading at the furthest point. Store these details with your paperwork so any future repair starts with facts instead of guesswork.
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.
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.
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.
Gates need a proper tension spring or handle that transfers the pulse, plus an underground jumper wire so the gate stays live when open. Corners and ends take the most pull, so use braced H posts or angled stays, not just a plain post. Insulators crack at corners first, so use heavy duty corner insulators rated for the wire tension.
Ask who pulls the permit and who calls the utility locator before digging. Ask the exact energizer brand, output joules, and whether it carries a 1, 2, or 3 year warranty. Ask how many strands of wire or tape, post spacing in feet, and the gauge of the wire. If the installer cannot answer those clearly, keep looking for another one.
