Other useful components that can be added:
Cut-out switches. Installed at regular
intervals, these allow you to isolate
sections of the fence for repair.
Lightning diverter kit. Used to minimise
the damage to your energizer from
lightning conducted down the fence line.
Alternative installation
For poor conductivity soils (dry or sandy), a 'fence-
return' or 'earth-wire-return' system is recommended.
On these fences the Earth terminal is connected
directly to at least one of the fence wires. The animal
gets maximum shock from touching a live and earth
wire at the same time.
Fence designs
Fences can be constructed to suit the type of livestock
and materials available. Discuss with your Speedrite
distributor which design best suits your needs. Some
suggested fence configurations are below.
Cattle and horses
10-15 m (33-49') spacing, posts only
15-20 m (49-65') spacing with droppers
Sheep, goats, cattle and horses
10 m (33') spacing, posts only
15 m (49') spacing with droppers
Wild animals
7 wire, 10 m (33') spacing with droppers
End assemblies
Angle stay
Suitable for field gate, high-tension strainer.
After firmly setting the footed strainer in the ground,
dig in the stay block just below ground level, at a
distance to ensure the angle stay will be held snugly
