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 and/or images below

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 and staple end to post, for neatness (see image below)
• follow this procedure for each line.


Electric connection - take coated underground wire and cut piece a few inches longer than the spacing between lines. Strip back the coating on both ends about 4 to 5 inches. (see images below)

• twist one end of the wire around one line 3 to 4 times
• take other end of wire to the next line and do the same. Repeat to connect all lines
• the power connector will do the same thing more easily.
• Note: - a u-clamp should be used instead of twisting the wire onto all Maxi Braids.
• the u-clamp goes over the line and the connecting wire is fastened between the nut and clamp. Using the clamp makes a better connection on the braid surface.
