[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 195232, member: 2905"] Hasbeen If you have problems with rock, you can saw the rods in half & install twice as many shallow ones. Also, if you drive them in at an angle an encounter with a rock may just cause the rod to veer to one side a little. Putting the ground rods & wire directly under the fence will keep the cows from stepping on it. Insulated wire is usually recommended as it will not cause a short if it comes in contact with a hot wire, but many folks get by very well with bare wire. Seems I have read you need to use the same type metal for the ground wire & ground rods & clamps. Example-if using galvanized rods also use galvanized wire & clamps. Has something to do with corrosion. BTW-I use all galvanized wire & rods. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck & happy trails Brock [/QUOTE]
