RE: [RC] [RC] Insulating electric fence with hose? - Laurie Durgin

Angie , we run both our dog fence (radio) wire and our horse wire thru either hose (under the driveway) and/ or plumbing pipe 3/4 inch that I buried at the horse gate. You also could run it 'up and over" using electric fence standoffs (them yeller things), and run a 2x4 bridge above it or again, use plumbing pipe and connecters to make the bridge. _____

In order for my electric wire to get from the source of power in the barn
to the part of the fence I want electrified it has to run along a short
section of board fence where my horse's feed buckets are attached and I
reach over & pet. They like to stand with their heads over this fence so
I ran the electric fence along the outside of the fence at about shin
level until it reached the wire section of the fence.

Therein lies the problem. People keep walking up to the fence to pet my
horses, reach over and touch them just as their shin hits the hot wire.
My poor horse is getting a complex! The people don't care for it either.
I'm wondering if I could run that section of wire through a waterhose for
the length of the board fence and that act as an insulator?  Any
suggestions? There's no way to run it overhead.

The bigger they are, the farther you fall.
