Page 14 - Electric Fencing

Walking around London today trying to find some green space... as you do... and can you believe it I spied some electric fencing!

Hello folks,

We are at that time of year where the fox cubs come out to play and learn to hunt, unfortunately this means your chicken might be at risk.

Here are some tips on what to check to make sure your netting is running at full capacity:

1. Use your KV10 LED fence tester for this as not only does it let you know the fence has power but it tells you how much power.

Billy Boy our technical guru goes through some top tips for Summer...

1. Fast growth of grass and hedges is now taking place all over the UK.  Did you know that a hedge can sprout 18 inches in a week and grass can grow over a foot in four days at this time of year.  So the light winds of summer soon get the hedge and grass touching the live wires on your systems.  Check you fence and see that the grass or hedge are not touching the electrified wire.

Electric Fencing in Portugal

I am sure there are not many people out there whom when they are on holiday in Portugal ask their husband to pull over the car so that she can take a photo of some electric fencing??  Yep thought not... just me!!

This fencing was used to keep in beef cattle over a very large area.  The polywire was in great condidtion - the posts were not and some of the insulators were quite interesting!!  How ever the use of varying forms of insulators didn't detract from the
