What to consider before buying
an energizer system

energy to the soil via weeds or poor
quality insulators and conductors.
3. Amount of wet/green weed contact
with the energized wires. This is very
important! A roll of netting covered
with weeds on wet soil may leak
or drain away more energy than a
0.6-joule energizer can provide!
However, that applies to ideal
conditions. We tend to think of what
species to fence (this dictates fence
design), soil-type, and then length.
4. How high above the soil will the lowest
live wire be? Low wires (3") cause
much more leakage from weed contact
than higher wires (>18").
5. Cost: The most expensive energizer is
the one that’s too small and therefore
results in broken fences, escaped
animals or predator attacks.
7. Climate: Low-impedance units are
ideal for places where the grass stays
green all season. As soils become dry,
the output needed increases in order
to provide a deterring pulse at the far
end of the fence.
8. Soil: If the ground dries throughout
the season or is rocky, set up Pos/Neg
(see p. 08) fences to overcome
soil resistance.
