By law, all electric fences must carry an approved warning sign, when they are installed in proximity to the general public, for example footpaths, public roads. Signs should be fixed to the fence posts, or to the fence line.
Signs should be placed at the start and at the end of the fence if for example, the fence runs alongside a public footpath and then at regular intervals along the fence line. Typical spacing would be around 50m, but many official bodies would prefer to see 10m spacing.
The maximum permitted distance between warning signs is 90m.
