This fencing kit contains everything you'll need for your first temporary electric fence, except the mains battery. In the starter package is the DP350B energiser which can provide output for up to 600 metres of single strand fencing using four D-cell batteries (6v) and up to 1200 metres using a 12v wet cell battery. Mains is 240 volt. Solar power is 12v. Power output is 1.5v – 2's. See item code 41331 for replacement D-cell batteries. Suitable for strip grazing or paddocks, with adjustable pulse rate from 20 – 60 pulses per minute to increase battery life, earth stake and connections for both battery types included. Delivered complete with 4 x D-cell batteries. If only D-cell batteries are used for a short period an economy tester will not detect the pulse and then a five light fence tester will be needed for this, see code: 41219 or code: 41279. The D-cell battery option is best considered as 'back-up' or for use on a short temporary fence. The fencer gives a higher output with a 12v wet cell car or leisure battery which are readily available and can be re-charged. The package includes 2 end-strainers to ensure tension on the tape, of which 300 metres of 12.5mm white fencing tape on a reel is supplied. This tape has 4 stainless steel strands of wire cross-woven into the tape and one interconnecting conductor which allows all the wires to be re-energised if there is a break in a wire. To carry the fencing tape the pack includes 10 white insulated posts, 87cm tall (above ground). These are easy to erect and tread into the ground via the foot support. When erecting the posts they should be spaced no more than five metres apart. Height quoted is height above ground. There is also a warning sign. The warning is written in several different languages. Recommended spacing in areas of public access is every fifty metres. Warning signs must be displayed every 50 metres where electric fences run along public roads and pathways.

This is a pack of 10 electric fencing posts. The foot support makes them easy to erect and tread into the ground with a good length ground spike to make secure. Available in two heights, 87.5cm and 132cm tall (above ground). Ideal for horse paddocks. The plastic posts are fully insulated to prevent electrical discharge. All plastic fence posts have a mixture of wire, rope and tape slots which are positioned on the posts to allow different heights of tape. These particular posts have 5 insulators for 20mm tape or rope, 3 insulators for 40mm tape. When positioning your fence posts it is recommended that they are between 5 metres and 7 metres apart. If the area is sheltered or the fence tapes are more highly tensioned the distance between posts can be extended, but in areas of rough terrain or wind the electric posts should be closer together. The more tension on the fence tapes, the bigger the distance you can have between posts.These posts can be used with all standard tapes, wires and ropes.* Insulated plastic posts* 10 fencing posts, 87.5cm or 132cm (above ground)* Foot support* Good length ground spike* 5 insulators for 20mm tape or rope* 3 insulators for 40mm tapeWhy Electric Fencing?Whether you want to limit the amount of grazing on offer to your horse, separate certain horses from others, or improve the quality of your paddock by strip grazing – temporary electric fencing is the answer. Many people who haven’t used electric fencing before are worried that it’s dangerous and will hurt their horse or pony when they come into contact with it. However, if you touch an electric fence, the shock you receive is similar to the static you sometimes feel when you touch a car door. It’s simply a psychological barrier and as horses are intelligent animals they soon learn to steer clear. Horses chew on post and rail fences; use them as scratching posts and lean right over them to get at the grass in neighbouring fields. Once again, electric fencing can help sort this problem. Simply screw in extending insulators to the fence posts, which will offset either polywire or electric rope approximately 5cm to 15cm away from the fence. Add an energizer and your fence is protected. The same solution can be used to keep horses away from barbed wire fences.Here are the Top Ten rules to make your electric fence work properly!1 Keep your fence as free from growth as possible – Growth impairs the output of every commercial appliance and results in increased power consumption, especially with battery-driven appliances.2 Make sure that the earthing is optimal.3 Do not connect two conductive plastic wires by tying them – Use special conductors.4 Fence wire/tape/rope must not be broken.5 Use conductive material having the best possible conductivity – i.e. Low resistance.6 Keep fence wire and earthing rod free from rust – Rust is an insulator.7 Weather-beaten or nagged insulators are unsuitable – Causes a high loss of output.8 Ensure connection between the energiser and wire is optimal – Use cable resistant to high voltage for underground feeds.9 With battery-driven energisers, check battery condition regularly.10 Ensure that each point of the fence is live using an electric fence tester.
