Earthstake/Earth Rod 0.5 m + 3 m Cable

Gallagher earth rod/earth stake - 0,5 m (incl. 3 m cable) Sufficient earthing is necessary for a pasture fence to function properly. Only use galvanised earth rods, as these are rustproof and therefore more conductive. Also use earth rods of the correct length - to match the power of your electric fence. The length of the earth rods and the number required depends on the electric fence unit used. Our recommendation: * Portable Energisers: minimum length 0.5 m * 12V energisers: minimum length 1 m * Mains-powered devices: minimum length 1.7 - 2 m Expert Tip: * Always drive the earth rods into damp soil. * Keep a distance of 3 m between the individual earth rods. * Only use rustproof earth rods - rust has an insulating effect and impedes the voltage return to the electric fence unit.

Earthing a fence energiser is essential in order for it to deliver an effective shock. Good earthing consists of earth rods and clamps. The length and number of the earth rods required depends on the fence energiser you are using: - portable energisers: minimum length 0.5 metre - 12V energisers: minimum length 1 metre - Mains energisers: minimum length 2 metres Gallagher earth rods are galvanised for long life and excellent conductivity. The supplied 3m cable allows all battery energisers to be adequately earthed.
