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?

5 years ago
2 Answers
  • 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!

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!
