: That's sort of what I was thinking: Don't ask, don't tell. Besides, the 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, but tell that to a mommy. If I can point to a timer, all should be peaceful. the only way a properly installed electric fence could really hurt a person is if they had a mechanical pacemaker. we have electric stock fence on one minute pulse (i went 2 years before i got a shock & then it was because we had a faulty ground & the gate got charged. i was barefoot...). Tom hit the hot wire with his forehead bending over to pick up a rock & saw some pretty good stars & my 4 year old hit the fence with his umbrella Saturday. it scared him more than hurt. yeah, a timer should solve your nanny city problem though. lee -- It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them. -Leo Buscaglia, author (1924-1998) |
