4.15. Connection and assembly of the electric fence
Rods and insulators specially developed for the assembly of electric fences can be purchased easily
in the market. The rods are in at aluminum or in the shape of an angle, to facilitate assembly. Your
material should absorb impact and have minimal wind exibility. If desired, the rod can be made of
iron, as long as these characteristics are observed. The insulators are made of polypropylene or with
dowels. Due to the high voltage applied to the fence, these must have excellent electrical insulation
between wire and rod. The rods for xing the wires must be secured with screws and dowels at a
minimum height of 2.10 m with a recommended maximum spacing of 3 m between them, as shown
in the gure below.
