THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ELECTRIC FENCING NEAR OR IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS

• If an electric fencing is erected near a roadway or in a residential area where it is in close proximity to the general public, there must be multiple signs that warn of its presence. These signs must be placed along the fencing at eye level.
• Electric fencing wires and connecting leads should not cross above power or communication lines.
• If you’re installing electric fencing in your garden, do a risk assessment first, including considering whether there is an alternative.
• Choose high-quality electric fencing and get it properly installed. Modern fencing is very reliable, but poor installation can cause problems.
• Razor or barbed wire should not be electrified by an energiser.
• Animals or people should not be at risk of becoming entangled in electric fencing
• Your energiser earth electrode should go at least a metre into the ground and any connected leads that run under the ground should be contained in insulated tubing.
