This is an installation manual for an electric fence
This installation manual is designed for the ElectroBraid Fence System, a pure copper and polyester braid electric fence intended for horses and livestock. It emphasizes safety, ease of installation, and minimal maintenance, noting that the system is resilient rather than rigid to prevent injury to animals. The guide covers the entire process from planning and calculating material needs to the final testing of the electrified fence.
