... Doug Kanter said: neighbors who've been here for 20+ years say they've never seen deer during the hours when kids would be out playing and might approach the garden. So, I thought I'd probably put the electric fence on a timer. I understand that the fence is unlikely to harm a person I wouldn't wory about those kids unless one of them has a pacemaker. My small unit runs at 1000 Volts and the big one at 5000, but the current is miniscule. Touching the fence is about equivalent to the shock you get when you scuff your feet on a rug. That static electricity jolt, by-the-way is about 50,000 volts, but the only way you can get hurt is if you happen to be picking up a gas can. Dave http://members.tripod.com/~VideoDave Yeah....I know. But, there are people who have built lives around refusing to learn. Given a choice between a 20 minute pointless conversation, and spending $20 on a timer, I'll go for the timer. :-) Another example: When I got my pistol permit, my ex wife kept crabbing about "What if the gun goes off by itself?" (when my son's at my house). I told her the holster completely covered the trigger, and that the gun was in a locked metal box. "Well....if it goes off by itself, won't the bullet go through the box?" Told her it was unloaded when locked up. "What if you leave a round in the chamber". Told her "I check it twice, in case I'm tired". "Do kid's name and his friends know where the key is???" Told her "Of course. How can they play with the gun if they can't get it out of the box???" That usually has the same effect as the timer for the electric fence. End of silly conversation. :-) |
