Electric fence reel support/holder

Nov 26, 2022 03:33:58

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using temporary electric fence reels very successfully until this morning at my place.

Unfortunately someone came overnight and stole my reels, which I normally hang on the high tensile electrified steel wire at the boundary of my property.

Thankfully the animals didn’t escape from what was left of their previous electrified enclosure (the reels were taken by cutting them off from wire between them and the temporary enclosure). Their electric fence training is paying off.

I’m extremely disappointed as it used to be a very easy way to create small areas for my animals to graze from and move them in a couple of days later.

I’m buying new reels and starting again but now thinking of a new way to set it all up and having the reels away from the boundaries where they could be easily taken again.

I can electrify the fence from the other end of the wire attaching it to the electrified boundary. I do need to find a good solution to support/hold the reels (3 of them at this stage of the animal training) on the end though, away from the boundary.

I was wondering if anyone would have any similar experience with reel supports/holders put in the middle of a paddock.

Thank you once again for you help.

Hi, Gabriel

I had not seen a electric fence reels so I looked to see what they looked like.

We just use the metal container that the wire comes on with a stick to make it easy to reel the wire off.

That said, I have no experience to answer your question so by bumping the thread maybe someone will see this and speak up.

I hope you get your problem resolved.
