A properly installed grounding bed is the key to success with electric fencing systems. In most cases, if an electric fencing system is not functioning properly, the grounding bed is the cause. It is possible that additional ground rods are needed, or it may need to be watered, as the ground rods seek moisture from the ground. In certain demographics with dry climates, ensuring that the ground bed is damp can be the solution to many electric fencing failures.

When placing additional ground rods, space them at least 25′ feet from the fence charger and near the fence line, but at least 50′ away from another grounding system. A ground rod closer than 50′ from a waterline (even if the waterline is plastic) may cause signal interference with home electronics. Ground rods placed closer than 25’ from the fence charger may cause damage to the charger during electrical storms.
