Step 3. How to install the fence
1.
Plan the fence line. Avoid rough, stony or steep areas if possible. For best
electric fence performance use multi-wire (at least 3 wires connected in
parallel) fencing.
2.
Run out the bottom wire between the end posts.
3.
Tension wires until there is only a slight visible sag.
4.
Connect all live wires in parallel at the end of each fence section using Joint
Clamps G6030.
5.
Connect the fence system under gateways, rather than overhead. Do not use
electric gates to get power across gateways. Install Lead-out Cable G6270
in a plastic pipe (for physical protection), 30cm (12") deep. Turn the ends of
the pipe down to keep water out. Connect each end of the cable to the Joint
Clamps.

6.
When joining wires under tension, use a figure eight or reef knot.
Offset Fence
Existing non-electric fences can be protected to last for many more years simply
by attaching offset brackets and an electrified wire on one or both sides of the
non-electric fence. Use a single offset wire, positioned at two thirds the height of the
animal (chest height) to be controlled.
