Clever Way To Protect Fencer

Clever Way To Protect Fencer FENCING Miscellaneous When Craig Spierling needed weather protection for an electric fencer he decided to use a 5-gal bucket that slides up and down a metal T-post “I’ve used the pail to cover my fencer for the past 10 years and it has worked well ” says Spierling “It’s weatherproof and livestock proof ” To hang the fencer unit and support the battery Spierling welded a steel plate to a T-post The plate had to be large enough to hold the battery and a vertical leg with at least 2 in of space between the leg and the post “The leg is 1-in square tubing welded to the plate with a small steel plate welded at the top ” says Spierling “There are different size fencers but they all are designed to hang The leg and plate are sized to hang my fencer above the battery ” Keeping 2 in of space between the leg and the post leaves ample room of the 5-gal pail fencer cover To make it easy to pop on and off Spierling drilled holes in the pail and used twist ties to attach the pail to a short length of aluminum tubing The tubing is slightly larger in diameter than the post “The pail sits on the stand with the battery and fencer inside ” says Spierling “If I need to check the battery or fencer the pail slides right off ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Craig Spierling 1627 Cassidy Rd Levering Mich 49755 ph 231 537-2324
