Details
The place most electric fences leak voltage is not the fence at all. It is the run between the energizer and the fence, or the bit that crosses a gateway. Bare wire in a trench or a length of household wire pushed through poly pipe will bleed to ground, and you can chase that fault for a season before you find it. This is 15.2 m (50 ft) of 12.5 gauge galvanised conductor with double insulation and a UV-stable jacket, listed by Patriot as product code 880 0000-254. It is made for the lead-out from the energizer terminal to the first fence post, and for carrying the hot side under a gateway to the next section of fence. Bury it deep enough that a tractor tire or a frost heave will not find it. A spade's depth through a gateway is the usual minimum, more where you cross a lane. Keep the joints above ground where you can see them, and use proper connectors rather than twisting bare ends together, because a buried twist is the fault you will never locate. One roll covers a typical energizer-to-fence run plus a gateway or two. Where the energizer sits well back from the fence, measure the actual route including the vertical drops before deciding how many rolls you need.
