Don't Buy a Solar Fence Energizer, Build Your Own!!
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 3 lety
Ive made the mistake of buying a premade solar fence energizer from the farm store. Its inadequate, underpowered and really not fit for any real farm fence system. The cost per joule is too low. With the system I design and build in this video you get more power, 3.0 output joules which the pre-made units can't get close to.

This video is a follow up to the water tank video. We weren't getting enough flow from the old spring box. I initially planned to dig it all out and place a gravel bed. After digging I found a terra-cotta pipe that had been placed as an inlet. All that was needed was replacing the actual box(bucket) and the feed pipe to our lower tank. This is a simple system with very low input costs. I repair...

How much do you spend for all parts and how many hour did you invest?
Beautiful. What state is this?
Incredible resource.
Hows the farm 3years later
+1 sub in case you start posting again...
Very helpful and the only installation of the lower output shaft into a gearbox that I have found. Thanks for your time.
No problem 👍
Thanks for explaining what gets hooked up to what. So many other videos on this topic don’t even say in which order to connect the equipment. So it’s solar panel, to regulator, to battery, to fencer? My major concern is ground rods. I want to be able to move my unit multiple times a month, but the thought of moving three whole ground rods and driving them back into our rocky soil sounds like hell. Did you get around that somehow?
Since installing this I have moved it around, and upgraded the battery to a FiFePo and added another panel for the dark winter months. When moved I hook the ground to the T post fence and it is enough.
@@yourdeptlogohereany chance your willing to do a update video on this topic?
Awesome. Thank you. There are 5 of us. This would be used.
Glad it was helpful!
Why would you drown out your voice with obnoxious music. Would rather hear what you are saying.
I hate that when they do that. It really makes me want to just skip watching the rest of a video.😔
New subscriber here, thanks for your video. We're looking to move out of CA next year and purchase some acreage for a small homestead. God bless!
Welcome! Good luck on your journey.
I've seen others hook up like you did. By not running the fencer through the charge controller aren't you risking battery life from over discharge? or does the panel charge that well that it does not fully discharge?
Yes that’s correct. The original battery had been replaced by a smart LiFePo that shuts itself off at low charge. My goal was continuous fence charging even at the detriment of the battery. I don’t want cows out, even at relatively low voltage it still provides a shock.
Sounds like the Fire Co. is already on stand-by.
The fire department is always on standby, that’s how it works
God bless
What happened to the melted siding?
Not sure. I asked some long time neighbors and they didn’t know. There was a fire over there at some point.
Those Toto toilets are so excellent at flushing and keeping the bowl clean!
I know there’s a backer on the LVP but it looks like there’s still too much play and without the underlayment your floor is going to be a little crunchy and some spots. Or did you make sure that the whole floor is completely level before laying?
Excellent review. Is this the 3 cylinder model? Also I wonder if they have turn signal kits. These things are now street legal in the rural areas where I live, and I could haul trash to the dump in that big bed. Also I noticed that Kawasaki seems to have longer warranties, I think it's 3 years?
I believe it’s the 3 cylinder. I’d have to look again to be sure. I am not sure if they make turn signals. I added a slow moving vehicle reflective triangle and take it on the road occasionally.
Transit STICK? it is commonly called a "ROD"
Congratulations
great review
Thanks
It’s 1/8” drop per foot on 4” pipe not 1/4”. You’re welcome.
Thanks for the correction
any issues after a few years?
I sold that house, but if there were I’m sure I would have heard about it. I’m putting the same thing in the house I’m working on now
Hi what size of wire you used for the subpanel? And size of pvc pipe? Thanks
I don’t remember the size of wire, I’m assuming you mean to feed the panel from the main. It was 2” conduit I believe
Dog Sled Does water build up along the bottom of the panel? Is anyone adding a battery switch -- they use these on boats and RVs all the time?
Minimal water builds up. It doesn’t affect performance. I didn’t add a switch, it’s always charging, and the negative alligator clip is attached to the wood if I want it off
Nice
Save a lot of money, and keep the money in your pocket.
I bought the fxr in 2020 and it has 8517 miles on it with no problems. And I use it for everything from work to play and hunting. Dang good critter. Oh it still has the og belt and all. The tires are on too.
I agree, self-contained solar DC units are usually junk. Are used to have a couple of those solar Gallagher S 17’s and they also didn’t last very long the idea the ground rod is the number of feet in the ground so three ground rods not in the ground very far isn’t any better than one ground rod pounded in the ground all the way and then you’re supposed to separate those ground rods by about 10 to 20 feet they act as a large antenna especially as you’re putting more, Jules through a fence line with larger fence chargers
That’s as far as they will go into the ground. More contact over a wider area gives you a better ground and more shock delivered. I don’t even use those anymore, just ground it to a metal fence post nearby.
the Gallagher charger doesnt have to have sooo many grounding rods. Mine keeps in hogs,,,which need good charge because they test it more than cows 24/7. You didnt show the volts yours is putting out.
Thanks, it puts out between 9000-10000 volts at about .3-.5 amps.
What brand is that adjustable square?
It’s a Douglas square. They are hard to find now. I bought it at Woodcrafters in Portland oregon
I need to make a fence to protect my bee hives from bears. In total it’ll be about 60 of fence or so, probably 3 strands. How do I know what size panel/controller etc I’ll need?
As Rex said the bigger the better. The system that I used in the video has the ability to get to 3 joules. It will then depend on your battery capacity and state of charge. If you aren’t using solar then you will have more options. Good luck!
what are the rise and tread of this stair? Thanks much.
It’s standard 7” and 11”
@@yourdeptlogohere thanks.
Nice clean workmanship. Where can I purchase the adjustable square you showed in the video? Thanks.
It’s called a Douglas square. I bought it at Woodcrafters in Portland Oregon. I haven’t seen them available elsewhere. They may not be made anymore I’m not sure. I’ve looked online and haven’t found them.
All basically minor things done maybe in a rush but other wise this house looks plumbed nice 👍🏽
Thank you.
Great work! At my farm I've been ordering blue 55 gallon barrels from U-Line and drilling holes in them. Other than that, I do exactly what you are doing to help with erosion and slow down runoff.
What battery did you use?
It is a large deep cycle battery, I believe it’s either group 27 or 29. It was used, but still works.
ive never seen an adjustable combination square, that's interesting. Can I suggest using an adjustable stair tread template, which means no measuring, no comparing angles, you don't even need to know what the angles are, it's just fit wall to wall, and placed right on the tread. They're not cheap but it saves a lot of time and makes it much easier. Also a question or two - did you glue your risers, why no glue from the tread to the riser, and is there a nosing at the top?
I feel that the adjustable square is easier. Once you have one side and you measure your set. I did use construction adhesive prior to fastening the treads down. Thanks for watching.
All that work and no skirt board?
I guess it’s your preference. I like the skirt board in old homes, being a new structure with a modern style I didn’t really want one. Thanks for watching.
How has your DIY solution worked over the past two years?
It’s worked well. I’m going to make another one for my upper pasture.
great pine!!!! my favorite w rubio mono coat 😮
Any update on this? Thinking about building one of my own as well. Just wondering how it had held up now that you've had it for a while. Anything you'd change? Did it keep the charge or did you have to occasionally charge the battery?
Cory, I’ve been using it continuously since I built it. I had to charge the battery one time in the winter due to snow sagging the lines down. We had a rough winter. With that said the batteries were all used. Your results will vary based on sun and the amount you get over winter. You could always add another panel or battery fairly cheaply. I’m going to build another one just like it for my front pasture, and then another for my gate motor. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.
@@yourdeptlogohere good to know! I’ve been dancing around a lot of brands, joules, etc… I think I like this idea the best. Was mostly wondering if the 100W panel was enough to keep up with the output. Sounds like it did just fine for you. Would you consider using something other than the patriot? Like Premiers or a Gallagher? What made you land on Patriot?
@@corykelley8752 Patriot had the most joules that I could find that would pair with a solar application. If you find something better please share. Now that solar has come down in price even more I would look to get more than a 100W panel for my next setup. There are many options out there. What to look for is the output (I believe in amps) of the panel and pairing that to a solar charge controller that can deal with the panels power output. I believe that I pared the one that I used with the panel I was purchasing, you may have to step up to the charge controller if going with a higher output panel.
@@yourdeptlogohere I’ll let you know. I’m avoiding the Patriot because they aren’t serviceable. Probably end up with a PowerWizard, Cyclops, or Gallagher. I’ll let ya know how it goes.
Thank you for sharing this important information listening from Bangs Texas
Thanks for tuning in!
Hope the cattle pee and poo stay away from your spring!!! Not good.
The spring is underground and bubbles up into a spring box.
This moron put kickplates on his drains but not his water lines lmao, yea cus nails can pierce abs pipe but they wont go through pex! l mfao bro just stop and hire a plumber, this is way over your head. Your too stupid for this, go do swome gardening or something where its less easy to fuck up. This is too much for you.
I can see why you failed inspection, your an idiot joe homeowner and not a skilled, licensed plumber, or hvac tech. Lmao idiot. smh hire a plumber or tech next time clown.- coming from a plumber
Great video thanks you just gave me the confidence to green light my first go it alone project
Good to hear, let me know how it goes.
How did u get ur homestead zoned I bought 40 acres in mosier Oregon and we want to do the same thing but they said you are not allowed to build on land so I could totally chat and use some advice maybe we can meet up sometime and have a BBQ
Our zoning already allows for our projects. We didn’t change the zoning. They’re are a lot of properties that they will not allow to be built up. They are generally recreation only
Thanks for the video. Love your helpers. Do you think this system would keep deer, raccoons and rabbits out of our vegetable garden?
Deer could possibly jump over, but will definitely stop coons and rabbits. We use electric netting around our garden and it keeps the critters out
Yes with the right kind of fencing. There are many types of electrified fencing that would work with this charger.
Very nice video. Would you show me how to finish the last top step? Thanks
Are you referring to where the step meets whatever flooring your using upstairs?
Thank you! Will be using your design!
Thanks! So far it’s been great. If you live in a place where it’s darker for long stretches add another panel and another battery. I’ve got plenty of panel but I feel like I could add another battery to get through the once or twice a year when we have a couple weeks of grey skies.
