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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Linear footage is the largest driver. After that, post type matters: wood posts cost less than fiberglass or driven steel. Number of strands, gate count, and energizer output joules also move the number. Heavy brush clearing, rock drilling, or long underground runs to reach power can each add hours, so ask which line item covers those.
A weak ground system is the top cause of underperforming fences. Installers usually drive 2 or 3 galvanized rods 1.8 to 2.4 metres apart, deep enough to reach moist soil. Dry climates may need extra rods or a damp bedding around them. Ask to see the ground rods during the walk-through so you understand what a proper install looks like.
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.
