Fencing

Posts and Stakes

Pipestone Farm Supply lists post and grounding products for electric fencing. For temporary strands there are Patriot Sentinel plastic tread-in posts in black or white (50 per box), Speedrite 34 in pigtail tread-ins (10-pack) and Patriot 28 1/2 in green pet and garden posts. To run a hot wire above an existing fence, Patriot makes 2 in and 5 in wrap-around and backside T-post extenders in black or yellow plus 24 in wrap-arounds, and T-post toppers and safety caps finish the post. Wood-post fittings include Patriot 2 in slant brackets with nails and wood post claws in black or yellow, and a Speedrite 3-hole mounting post holds the energizer. For the earth return, the Patriot 5 ft ground rod kit (three rods, three clamps and 50 ft of steel wire), Speedrite 6 ft galvanized ground rods (10-pack), a 30 in T-handle ground rod and Patriot ground rod clamps cover it; see the three-ground-rod section of our joule guide. Pick up in Millet or ship Canada-wide. For Manitoba Agriculture's ground-rod figures, see our guide Electric Fence Supplies Checklist: Ground Rods, Insulators, Gates and Testers.
