About Electric Fence Installer
Posts, wire, and insulators explained
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.
Gates, corners, and the weak spots
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.
What often goes wrong after install
Vegetation touching the wire is the most common complaint and slowly drains the energizer. Broken insulators, loose wire tension after temperature swings, and corroded ground rods also cause weak shocks. Schedule a seasonal check that includes clearing growth under the line and retightening wire at corners. A quick 30-minute visit once or twice a year prevents most service calls.
Most common reason homeowners hire one
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.
Energizer placement and power options
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.
How long the install usually takes
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.
What paperwork to keep on file
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.
Permits and rules to check before work starts
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.
Energizer sizing and power supply
Energizer size is measured in joules, not volts, and the rule of thumb is about 1 joule per kilometre of single-wire fence under normal conditions. Heavy vegetation, long runs, or multi-strand setups need more. Battery and solar units suit remote lines, but plug-in models are cheaper and easier to service. Confirm the energizer has a built-in lightning diverter.
How long the install usually takes
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.
