If more than this add more earth stakes until it is brought down. Ensure to use a high quality tester to check voltages such as 488229 of page 43. WARNING Avoid contacting electric fence wires especially with the head, neck or torso. Do not climb over, through or under a multi-wire electric fence. Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point. PLEASE NOTE These wire spaces are suitable for most ponies and horses but may need to be adjusted to accommodate foals, minature ponies and large horses that may be likely to jump the fence. For windy sites consider using 20mm tape instead. Wherever possible, use a mains powered energiser. (No batteries to service or go flat) The type of energiser required depends on the fence length. Maintain the current on the fence 24 hours a day at all times. Earth stake should be positioned near to the fence and at least 10m away from any electrical supply Fence Design & Tips
