Energizer power source

A mains energizer is the simplest option and the cheapest to run. Keep the earth stakes well away from any other earthed metalwork.

Estimates from the spacing you entered, not a quotation. Energizer size depends on wire length, vegetation load and the supply — we confirm that against the datasheet.

Post spacing

Closer posts on uneven or hilly ground keep the wires off the grass. Wider spacing suits flat, open runs with droppers between.

Wire count

More wires suit smaller animals or a higher barrier. Tell us what you are keeping in, or out, and we will suggest a count.

Not a rectangle?

Switch to “I know the perimeter”, enter the walked or mapped distance, and set corners to the number of direction changes.
