[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 312174, member: 2882"] I used up four 4000' spools over the summer.. Post spacing was more or less determined by the terrain on my place, and I just tried to arrange it so the posts would stay in the ground against the tension and keep the bottom wire off the ground. That meant putting wood posts in the bigger dips and t-posts wherever else there was a rise or slight change in topography. I went with six wires, starting at 9" off the ground and going 9" between, so it's 54" high. For grounding, I drove four 8' galvanized ground rods in a softish spot at the mouth of a little draw about 1/4 mile of fenceline away from where the charger will be.. I'll be hooking the three cold wires of the fence across all four rods and then to the negative terminal on the fencer.. That way when something touches the fence, the connection can be made either between the hot and ground wires or the hot wire and the physical earth.. The fencer I'm looking at is a so-called "100 mile" fencer, with about 6 output joules.. My goal is 10,000 volts at the back corner. :devil2: :lol: [/QUOTE]
