Not for keeping animals IN but for keeping neighbors OUT.


I installed an "electricfence" inside my chain-linkfence-enclosed
backyard. �The wire was an inch or so below the top rail.


I bought the charger/fencer from a local farm supply store. �It was
rated to 30 miles of wire. �Needless to say, it was more than adequate
for my back yard.


The arrangement was completely effective in keeping my large, yellow
Labrador Retriever from climbing thefence. �Given the report from my
grown daughter and the young girl next door, both inadvertently having
contacted the wire, I am absolutely certain that the "fence" was
effective in keeping people OUT, too.


Don't tell your home insurance agent of your plan. �They'll drop you
like a hot potato. �Don't tell your neighbors, either. �They'll respond
to the challenge like never before. �If you think your ahem
relationship with [whomever you wish to keep out] is bad now, just wait
until they get zapped.


A better solution: �Pull your window shades and turn up the volume on
your TV. �Good luck. �You'll need it.


Hiding information from your insurance company is not a good idea.
If/when you have a large claim, you may be denied making the insurance
itself a waste of money. �Insurance companies are armed with effective
lawyers.- Hide quoted text -

yeah tell them in advance no coverage wait till after no coverage
either.

the whole thing is a bad idea.

hazard doesnt have to be from electrocution. someone touches it and
gets shocked and falls breaking leg.

since OP broke law having fence in first place rthey will claim
permanent disability $$$$$$$$$

again what are the intruders doing?
