Install the fence posts at regular intervals along the planned route of the fence. Learn more

3. Use insulators to attach the fence wire to the posts. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wire to allow for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.

4. Install a grounding system to ensure that the electric current flows properly.
