FARM GIRLS APPROVE!! Electric fence netting... comprehensive install/review/how to..and fun!

What happens here

To connect multiple fence sections, locate the first post of a new section (usually marked with a label) and the last post of the previous section. Butt these two posts together, leaving a small gap (e.g., a finger's width). The connecting ends of each fence section have woven wires with small connectors. Wrap one woven wire around the other, then slide the small plastic connectors together to ensure a strong electrical connection between the two sections. This effectively extends the energized fence. If the fence appears floppy or sags, take the top fence wire and wrap it around the top post a couple of times, then thread it through the small slot on top of the post to tighten the sag.

Goal: Electrically connect multiple fence netting sections and tighten any slack.

What they say

best to wear long pants but you know what's that shirt say we got to have some fun anyway it's too doggone hot for long pants we're gonna put this last section together and I'm going to show you how to connect the fence sections together and that way that you get a good electrical connection between all the fence sections now there's a specific order you've got to figure out when you're unraveling this fence one of them is the first post and one of them is the last post so if you look closely at your fence your first post will have a label on it and that's how you know where to start with your first post it also has this little connector right here and a big old fat weave of wire right on the post see that big fat weave and this is how you connect it to your next post and I'll show you how we do that the same as before we'll mash our fence post in basically here you just want to but these two posts together probably put about a fingers width in between them it doesn't really matter they just need to be close to touching and then we'll take our connectors these are two connectors that will go together pretty cool I like to take and wrap it around this way and then wrap the other one around this way and ensure I get a good connection and you just slide these two little connectors together very very simple and boom you've got an electrical connection between your two fences now if you want to go the extra mile you can probably take a little copper wire or something and wrap around these but you really don't have to this stuff really conducts electricity very well and will keep your goats or sheep in for sure now there's something that I failed to mention there is a training period if your goats or your sheep are not used to this fence there's a training period that the goats need to experience so you don't want to go putting them in a great old big pin like this until you train them to a smaller pin so what we did was we took one fence section and we made a tight little ring and basically it sounds kind of bad but we sprinkled a little bit of food next to it so that they got their head closed and whenever they touch the fence they realize boom immediately that they could not get close to that fence and that stopped it totally I don't know about sheep but goats will butt each other and kick each other out of the way when it comes to feeding time so once we put it next to it and they got a little tap that was it problem solved this is not a physical barrier…
