[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 463500, member: 2905"] If you use the wire fence as a ground there is the good possibility a lightning strike to your wire fence would fry your fencer as there is a direct connection. A proper earth ground system should eliminate this possiblity. I use 3 ground rods spaced 10 ft apart on the ground side and a lightning choke/arrester on the hot side. You will have the best results if you follow the fencer grounding instructions. IMO-shortcuts building electric fence are the biggest culprits in poor performance. [/QUOTE]
