    Can electric fences be used in all weather conditions?

    Yes, electric fences are designed to be weather-resistant and can operate in a wide range of conditions. However, heavy vegetation or fallen branches can ground the wires and snow can insulate the ground, reducing effectiveness, so adjustments may be needed.

How Does an Electric Fence Work?

An electric fence operates by sending short, high-voltage electrical pulses through a network of wires at regular intervals, typically around one pulse per second. This system is powered by an energizer, a device that converts power (from an electrical outlet or a battery) into these pulses. When an animal touches the wire, it completes the electrical circuit between the fence and the ground, receiving a brief but memorable shock. This shock is designed to be safe and non-lethal, serving as a deterrent to prevent the animal from crossing the boundary. The effectiveness of the fence relies on proper installation, grounding, and maintenance to ensure consistent performance.
