What happens here

After the temporary polywire fence lines are in place, connect them to a solar electric fence energizer. For this project, an Intellishock T20 solar fence charger is used. Attach alligator clips from the energizer to the polywire (for the live wire) and to a ground rod or a steel step-in post (for grounding). Once connected, the fence will be live and ready to contain the cattle within their designated paddocks. It's important to ensure a strong and reliable charge for effective animal control.

Goal: Make the electric fence active to contain cattle

Tools and materials

  • Alligator Clips — Connecting the energizer to the polywire and ground
  • Ground Rod — Providing proper grounding for the electric fence system
