Installation Instructions for Electric Line Fence
Maxi Grunt – Maxi Braids
End & Corner posts - treated wood, 3 to 4 inch round or square - 7 to 8 ft. long.
- a 60 lb. bag of ready mix cement is recommended for each post hole
- this is all that is needed when using Maxi Grunt or Maxi Braids
Line Posts - Your choice of post - vinyl, metal t-post, wood flex posts
- pull a line of heavy string between end posts or end post and corner post no more than 2 feet off the ground. Do one straight line at a time. Use this line as a guide to set your posts.
- space posts 12 to16 ft. apart.
- cement not required.
Mark your posts for insulators - not necessary if using pre-drilled vinyl post
- wood posts - take a length of wood and mark for number and spacing of lines, use this as your guide for marking line posts. Install insulators at mark.
- t-posts are marked, determine spacing and install insulators for number of lines
Take the end of line - starting at the first line post past end post, feed the line through the insulators and corner/end insulators at corner posts as you walk the line to the end post.
- a person holding the roll on a round dowel to let the line unroll freely is helpful
- Note - wrap end of Maxi Braids with tape or touch with flame.
At end post - feed the line through the corner/end insulator or insultube.
- as line goes around the insulator wheel bring it back to itself.
- install connector - see diagram
Go back to starting post - cut line long enough to go around the corner/end insulator and come back to itself.
- as one person pulls the line tight a second person attaches connector and tightens it on the line - cut off excess line for neatness.
- follow this procedure for each line.
