Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bought one of these units to protect a 30 x 50 foot garden from raccoon depredation. I mounted five wires on steel T-posts using the appropriate insulators, and used four ground rods, each 6 feet long. The unit supplies adequate electricity to the wires for most animals, but I found that a determined raccoon learned to charge the fence, jump between wires (they are 6-8 inches apart) and devour my cantaloupes (got photos on a trail camera). Apparently by moving quickly enough through the wires he did not receive much of a shock. To stop him, I added standard chicken wire (2 feet tall, anchored to the ground) behind the electric wire. The chicken wire and electric wire together seems to work, as he hasn't been back. The 3 or 5 inch insulators work best for this kind of setup because they keep the electric wire far enough away from the chicken wire to prevent it from grounding the electric wire out.
