Amateurs building an electric fence…will it work? Shockingly, it does! This video is not sponsored, its a documentary of our adventures building an electric fence to keep the nuisance animals out of our garden. I hope you enjoy! Here are Amazon affiliate links for some of the items shown in this video:
This is the battery we should have purchased – DC Battery 35 AH: https://amzn.to/3hl7RHJ
Instead of using a finger, use this Electric Fence Tester: https://amzn.to/3hl79dx

That looks like a good solution! Yes, I wouldn't mind photos of raccoons getting a buzz or two, but maybe they only eat cat food. Thanks for the tutorial, Tikki. Hope your hubby doesn't get too much shock–remember Frankenstein…yikes!
To enlarge the autonomy of the systems you should to consider to link the batteries in series (link the – pole to the + pole of the other battery). In a more complex configuration you should to consider to buy a charging controller and a solar panel to make indipendent system and forget to charge the batteries. To make a diy insulating box you should use the hot glue or silicon. In my opinion you use too much amazon, consider that all of the equipment that you need exist in all DIY store, the planet will say thank you.
Apart for the amazon abuse (probably I'm wrong, but this video is shooted with materials that cames only by amazon) I appreciate a lot this channel, best regards 🙂
Sure hope it works well after all your efforts. Would love to see a squirrel "get the message".
I bought an owl decoy at Menards today $10 -squirrels. I hope it works.
Lol he touches it just for kicks, lol!
[CC] PLEASE!!
Does hubby have adequate life insurance ? If yes, keep asking him to check the system frequently.
Instead of added expense for a larger battery that still has to be regularly charged, a separate 15 Watt (or larger) Solar Panel (with built-in charge controller) should keep the battery topped up even on cloudy days. Also the grounding rod(s) can be buried horizontally for a larger surface area for the best ground connection. Thank you for all your videos as they are both educational and enjoyable to watch.
I love your videos. Oh and hubby's are great things to have for just this type of situations lol Let them stick their finger on a hot wire! lol!! Don't feel bad its too cold and wet to plant here in 6b so I'm hoping to get my plants in the ground maybe this sunday fingers crossed
Interesting! However, do not discharge those batteries more than 50% of their capacities for fear of permanently damaging their cells, making the batteries useless.
At least you didn't tell 'hubby' to test it by taking a whizz on it… ( wink wink nudge nudge )
Great video thank you
Nice video thanks for sharing
Thank you, this is what me and the hubby will be doing as well!
Nice Job!
Squirrels are my nightmare. Thanks!!!!
Will this keep out ground hogs
