With any electric fence/net, you want to eliminate the weeds/grass that may touch the fence and cause a short. I have been able to, in some areas, run it over my weed block which will help reduce the area I have to keep an eye on.

If you look carefully you will notice a horizontal black “wire” at the bottom. This is an uncharged string. The gray vertical lines are also plastic and uncharged.

Then you will notice a horizontal green wire; this is the negative or ground/non-electric line, and the bright orange-colored horizontal wires are the positive hot wires.

The fence is only 28” tall, as I am looking to control more ground-based varmints. The vertical spacing of the line is a consistent 3.5” and the horizontal spacing is 3” except for the very top where it is 4”. There are 10 total horizontal lines made out of 304 stainless-steel conductors.
