Electric fence

[JoeDirt]

Hello all.
Has anyone considered instead of grounding your Electric fence box strait to the ground. Run the ground side on a wire above or below the positive (hot) wire?
If so which is best ?
Thanks

Many people do such. As long as predators touches both wires,,, then gets the zap. A grounded system on dry parched earth does little good. Ground needs to be somewhat moist, Green vegetation growing out of ground does provide a good grounding.
Your question,,, ABOVE,,,, or BELOW,,, Makes no difference.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

I have both a ground rod and the fence itself is connected to the ground.

Getting ZAPPED is not limited to predators lol...
