If this is reapeat I apologize now. I did a search but didn't come up with the answer.
I've never set up an electric fence before. I have the electric netting. I bought a charger which will be used with a deep cycle marine battery, 3' ground rod, and rod clamp all recommended by Premire 1 for my fence.
I just don't get the whole grounding thing...I mean, I understand why it is needed, I just don't get how this is supposed to act as a temporary, easily movable fence if I have to pound a 3 foot rod substantially into the ground??? Is there a different grounding rod I should be looking at if I want this movable? I got the one that the energizer system I have (Speedrite) recommended. For those that use the netted fence around a chicken tractor, and move it 8-12x a year, what do you use? I'm feeling like a complete dunce about something that is probably simple!
