[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1412210, member: 27490"] There was a thread by Bigfoot over a year ago about an electric fence short. I mentioned a short in my system that I could not isolate. I found it. I have an underground waterproof cable under a gate. The gate exits my winter feed pad which has a base of #2 gravel and is choked off with mine waste run. It sets up like concrete. To fix the short, I would have to break up the pad. The solution was going overhead. I used 10 foot lond, 2 inch diameter conduit as risers. The wire goes into the conduit at the top of the gate posts through a drilled hole. Fishing the end that came out the second pipe was fun. The 90 degree at the top adds 1 foot of clearance for a total clearance of 11 feet .
