[QUOTE="dun, post: 139232, member: 34"] A minimum of 3 ground rods, 6 is better. Rods that are actaully made for grounding electric fences. Keep the ground away from the power company or any building grounds. If you can get them in to their full length, usually 5-6 feet all the better, if not, put them in at a shallow angle so that the most rod is in the ground.. Dasiy chain them together and to the fence ground. If you're putting the cahrger in a building, putting the ground rods in under the roof dripline may help with the conductivity. Space the rods 5-10 feet apart if possible. Get one of the fencetesters that displays the voltage and not just the lights that tellk you if there is power. They're pretty pricey, $90-100, but worth the expense. If I remember correctly, alwasy a dangerous concept, the Gallagher fencing manual at their webiste deals with groundgin systems and I think has a deal on how to check to see if your ground is ok.
