Gallagher earth rod/earth stake - 1 m

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.
