[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 209123, member: 1715"] 1) The key thing is to have it hot! The cheap fencers are too weak so you end up having to replace them. Buy a good one (solar or battery) and also buy a digital tester. My big battery powered charger puts out about 7,000 to 8,000 volts on a half mile fence and it is respected. The old charger put out about 2,500 volts which was not enough. 2) I have 1 or 2 wire cross fences. One wire works unless the ground is very rough. Three wires sounds excessive for a cross fence. The key thing is to have it hot! We have skipped using the pipe. How much longivity do you gain with adding the schedule 40 pipe underground at gates? [/QUOTE]
