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.
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.
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.
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 biggest cost drivers are total wire length, number of strands, post material, and energizer brand. Rocky ground, sloped terrain, or long driveway crossings add labour hours. Gates, warning signs, and a backup battery also bump the total. A written quote should list each item so you can compare offers line by line instead of guessing at the bottom number.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
