thank you...this is exactly what i needed. ☺

Excellent tutorial! Just what I need! Thanks!

Interesting, I'd like to see more. Thanks

Great idea, thanks!

Here is another helpful tip on gates. Click the link below. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fKtmp8Syoce4Y84.htmlsi=-tMk53-b_TWYHCFX

Do you find with short insulators that the electric current jumps to the steel post? I have seen (felt really 😅) current in plain fencing wire where the wires were ran through timber posts at a spacing of 200mm with an insulator placed in the middle and out a further 50mm. It's not a huge zap on the plain wire, but enough to make you jump just in case it might hurt 😂. It also makes me wonder if it might reduce the effectiveness over the entire fence length. 🤔

No voltage drop whatsoever. For anyone that is interested, I would be glad to do a video explaining how to do it.

Interesting concept for standoff. What are your thoughts on the Gallagher 12” Offset? 'Gallagher 12” Offset with Pinlock Insulator' looks like it runs 8-14 (8 if shipping is excluded, 14 for 100 units shipped) cents per standoff compared to 1" conduit at 14.5 cents per inch. But their five inch standoffs are on the pricier side of 98.5-135 cents per unit. I'm mostly looking to run an offset off of woven wire and older barb wire, since I found some hogs don't respect steel alone. (She is now in the freezer.) I've used non-metalic conduit for stakes to box off fruit tree roots along fences and for redirects inner corners (maybe called donuts).

For offset fences I'm usually pretty happy with anything As long as it's well insulated. After that I just go for what's the cheapest But still quality.

@@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240 Well I cannot read a catalog page. (Case quantity is listed in the same field as the unit count, different than the bagged insulators listing.) 75cents for a five inch standoff doing it your way. (barbed wire and woven existing fence). Deconstructed barbed wire makes for decent tie wire. I've been exploring some of your other experiments and thing they will be expedient and save a few dollars.

What size wire are you using for the fence and insulator?

I use 12 gauge high tensile wire for my electric fence. And 12 gauge soft galvanized Tie wire To fasten it to the insulator

Are the diy insulator tied on with high tensile steel electric fence wire? What comes in a 4000' roll?

No I use 12 gauge soft Galvanized wire
