Electric fence kit adviser

As a pet owner, if you want to be on the safe side in your garden, we recommend using an electric fence. It serves, on the one hand, to protect your animals, and on the other, is suitable for protecting specific areas of the garden from intruding animals. Countless models are available to choose from so it’s worth first finding out about one of the complete kits and selecting the appropriate model. The major advantage of the complete pet fencing kit is that all the components required are included in the scope of delivery. You have everything you need in one purchase, so that constructing the fence and setting it into operation are child’s play.

Electric fence application areas and functions

Electric fences can be regularly seen out in the fields, which is why the term “pasture fence” is often used. This fencing is used to enclose sheep, cattle, goats, horses and pigs. In addition, electric fences are also used as a defence against wild animals in woods or on plots of land. Nets and fences also exist for use in the garden. These are used either as pet fencing or as a defence against martens or other uninvited guests such as raccoons or stray cats and dogs. This type of electric garden fence offers many advantages: While animals can overcome a mechanical barrier such as an ordinary fence or net, the additional deterrent of an electric shock provides double safety. If the animal touches the electric pet fencing, it will receive a short, not too sharp, yet not too weak electric shock. This reliably prevents the animal from damaging or breaking through the enclosure. With pet fencing, dogs and cats can run about freely in your garden without endangering themselves or people. It’s also possible with an electric fence or electric fence netting to fence off a section of the garden, such as the pond or flower bed, for example.

What is included in a complete kit?

Three components are essential for an electric fence for the garden, whether this be a dog fence, cat fence or fence for small animals: the energiser, the conducting material and the fence posts. These components are, of course, always included when you buy pet fencing from our online shop. However, in addition to these main components, a complete kit also contains all the main accessories that should not be forgotten. These include (depending on the fence model):

• insulators
• grounding rod
• supply cable
• warning sign (mandatory by law)
• instructions
• in some cases also a fence tester

The 230 V energiser is connected to the electric netting. If no sockets are available – rarely the case near the house – a rechargeable battery or battery-operated 12 V or 9 V energiser is also available. The pet fencing energiser supplies the fence system with electricity. The electricity flows through the conductors in the form of polywire which, if contacted, gives the animal an electric shock. Thanks to the grounding stake, the electricity then flows into the ground. The plastic or metal fence posts are installed at specific distances apart and, if required, additional or replacement posts are available. Other electric fence accessories are not necessary thanks to the complete kit.

Other components are required for complete systems used as a defence against martens. After all, the little pests are known for gaining access to the house and garden via the attic, holes or other “bridges”. To prevent this, an electric marten deterrent including gutter protection, downpipe insulators, ultrasound repellents and possibly also electric netting must be installed. In addition, the complete marten defence kit includes a special energiser designed for small animals.

Which electric fence complete kit shall I buy?

Ideally, when deciding which electric fence kit to buy, you will be guided by several criteria: Firstly, it all depends on the animal that you wish to protect or deter. A dog fenceor cat fence is designed for man’s two best friends, and you should be aware that large dogs will require a tall fence and aggressive dogs, a strong fence with a strong energiser. The special feature of an electric fence for the garden is that it can be adapted to the individual requirements of the shape of the grounds, and the animal. The wide range of applications, different lengths and heights, and various strengths of energiser offer plenty of scope. If you wish to buy an anti-marten fence, fences for cats or fences for dogs online, uncomplicated, affordable entry-level models or more sophisticated, high-performance professional models are available to choose from. Complete kits for the garden come in a wide range of colours too. The comprehensive dog fence complete kit offers optimum safety and user-friendliness. Pet fencing can be erected quickly and is characterised by durability and weather resistance. The same applies to the practical complete cat fence kit and the complete kit used as a defence against martens.
