If your farm or property has an electric fence, protect your investment with the American Farm Works 6 ft. Copper-Coated Ground Rod. The copper-coated construction guides electricity through the fence rod to protect your energizer. And the corrosion-resistant design protects the ground rod from the environment in any weather. Designed with a tapered end, this electric fence rod penetrates deep into the ground surface, allowing for easy installation. Shop this ground rod and more electric fencing supplies from American Farm Works today.

Looking for more information on electric fencing? Check out our guide on how to install an electric fence in the product documents section.

  • Made of galvanized steel for conductivity, helping to guide excess electricity away from your energizer
  • Copper coated to maximize electrical charge efficiency
  • Resistant to corrosion when exposed to the elements for durability
  • Can be used in either a typical set-up or the two-wire ground option for dry or frozen ground conditions
  • Tapered end allows you to install ground rod easily
  • Long length helps to properly ground fence chargers and reaches deep into the earth
  • For adequate grounding, its recommended to have 3 ground rods spaced 10 ft. apart and at least 6 ft. deep
  • Size of the ground rod: 6 ft.
  • Weight: 5.26 lb.
  • Available exclusively at Tractor Supply
  • Note: You may need a post-driver or to water the earth before installation if the ground is too dry

Q: which ground rod is better, the 6' copper plated or the 8' galvanized?

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. The better ground rod between a 6 ft. copper-coated and an 8 ft. galvanized one depends on various factors like your grounding application, soil conditions, and code requirements. We would recommend reaching out to American Farm Works directly for more information. ***American Farm Works*** https://www.zarebasystems.com/contact-us? 1-855-592-7322 | 8:30 am - 7:00 pm EST (M-F)

Q: Can you use electric fencing on a fence if the fence wire is touching the ground?

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: No. If the fence voltage was going to ground, that would be a short circuit. The fence voltage travels from the wire to a grounded animal (including humans) who touches it to deliver a shock.

Q: How many of these grounding rods would you recommend for a small residential home deer deterrent system using a .7 Joule pulsed charger (rated for 15 miles) with poly tape?

  • A: I used 3 grounding rods oriented in a triangle (the rods go in the ground at the triangle points) spaced 4 feet apart. My bee yard bear deterrent fence is .8 Joule rated for 25 miles. It's been in service for 2 years and will zap the tar out of you.

In store buying success!

2 months ago
I came in to buy materials for protecting my bee hives from a bear who took 100 percent of my honey from my hives….. ! I bought materials to surround my hive with 3 rows of metal wiring and a .50 Jule power box to get the bears attention should the bear return. The young man who helped me was knowledgeable about products I needed and found me everything I needed that your store had in supply ( fyi he also had bees on his family property!) Other t than cost… it was a wonderful visit and he was an A+ employee!
