I have my ground wire wrapped around the bottom of my t-posts. I have heavy clay soil so the t-posts are the "grounding rods" and nothing else. The t-posts are only about a foot deep but I have 8 of them so it works ok for me.All really great information. Thanks!
Is your ground wire and rods near the energizer? Or near the fence run through the garden hose using insulated wire?
Wondering how far the grounds can be from the fence itself. The first rod needs to be within 20' of the charger, but could the rods be 50' away from the fence itself because the hot is run via an insulated wire to the fence. Does that work? Or do the rods need to be close to the fence?
The fence energizer is pretty small.... is there a reason why you want to have it so far away from the fence?
