I need to buy another electric fencer. Do I need to have 9600 volts to keep bears away? How about wire, steel or aluminum? How about from fencer to fence and gournd, copper?
I bought a new fencer last year and no matter what I did I hardly ever got the light to flash. At first I though the light was bad. I bought a tester and it said it was good. I sanded my grounds and redid them and barely got a flash out of the light. I grew up in a farming family and have plenty of experience building fence and I know nothing is shorting out. I did however never install the fencer it self. Do you need to run copper to grounds and fence.
Anyway, I need to build another fence where I plan on putting a few hives this summer where bears are seen every year and I will not be able to see these from a drive by and wont be able to stop by more then once every two weeks or so. Point being I want to make sure I use enough power, and the right stuff.
Advise Please!!
