I hope I'm in the right group to post these questions....
I want to run a single strand of electric fence wire about 6" above the ground in order to discourage our dogs from digging under our privacy fence. I picked up a Fi-Shock 750, but neither the provided diagrams or their website answer some simple questions I have.
I've posted a simplified image of the fence layout for reference:
- Is it okay to have both ends of the single strand terminate? (see image)
- Because the energizer will be located in a shop, approximately 15 feet away from the fence, can I use outdoor rated 12 guage wire to connect the strand to the energizer? (I'd like to bury the 12 guage wire)
- How do I handle burying the wire where the fence is interrupted by the gates?
Again... I hope I'm asking the right folks, if not, I apologize.
Thanks for the help.
