How to KEEP DEER AWAY! Easy, Simple and STINKY!

What happens here

This step involves identifying and understanding the necessary components for building a deer-deterrent electric fence. The key items include a solar fence charger (or a plug-in alternative), poly wire, and step-in posts. The solar charger powers the fence by storing energy in a small battery and sending out pulses of electricity. The poly wire carries this electric pulse, and the step-in posts provide insulation and support for the wire lines, allowing for easy setup and removal.

Goal: Familiarize yourself with the necessary equipment for building the electric fence.

Tools and materials

  • Poly Wire — Serves as the conductive barrier for the electric fence lines
  • Solar Fence Charger — Powers the electric fence system by sending out pulses of electricity, even during the night due to a charged battery
  • Step-In Posts — Provide insulated support for the poly wire lines, allowing for easy installation and removal

this is a solar fence charger, and I'll put a link to the solar fence charger in the video description. It won't be the same one cuz it's outdated. It's old, and I don't like it, okay? But a solar fence charger is super awesome and super handy. It doesn't just work during the day. It charges a little battery and it sends a pulse of electricity out. This is how I keep the deer out. So this is called poly wire and these are called step-in post. Okay, each one of these step-in post is 3 ft apart. This is how I did it. And you can get these at your local Walmart, Tractor Supply, wherever you want to go. But it's simple enough.
