This Zareba ® 14 Gauge Aluminum Wire for electric fences comes on a spool for ease of use. It has a breaking load of 215 lb. and tensile strength of 38,000 PSI and conducts 4 times better than steel wire. This wire won’t rust, either!
My electrician friend recommended this gauge & the aluminum. I have horses and dogs. One of the dogs had become an escape artist. She has not got out since I replaced my galvanized wire with this.
Hello, i live in Alaska. I am building two Electric fences. One around a chicken coop for bear protection. It will have a total of 420 ft of wire (seven lines each side of a perimeter that is 10ftx20ft). What charger do you recommend?
The second e fence, will be for my property fence. It will involve a total of 2100 ft (300 ft x 7 wires). For that one, what charger do you recommend? And Should I do continuous?
I live in bear country, both black and brown. Plus lynx and coyotes. Thank you.

For the 2100 ft fence: Zareba® 50 Mile AC Charger (EAC50M-Z) is recommended.
Yes, a continuous fence line helps maintain consistent power. These chargers are strong enough for predator control, including bears, lynx, and coyotes.
