The Duo 6 mounting post serves a dual purpose as both a durable mounting post and an effective earth stake. Crafted from hardened steel, this post is compatible with the Dual Power Energiser range and conveniently designed in two parts for easy storage and transport.
A reliable earth system is essential for optimal electric fence performance. Without proper grounding, animals may experience only a mild shock—or no shock at all.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Dual Purpose Design: Functions as a mounting post and earth stake.
-
Durable Construction: Hardened steel ensures long-lasting outdoor performance.
-
Dual Power Energiser Compatible: Ideal for use with the Dual Power range.
-
Easy Storage: Two-part design allows convenient storage and transport.
-
Effective Grounding: Ensures the electric fence delivers a proper shock for livestock containment.
Earth Installation Guidelines:
-
Install stakes in moist ground for maximum conductivity.
-
Maintain a minimum 15m distance from domestic earth systems.
-
Use the 1m of earth rod per joule rule for higher-powered energisers (e.g., 2-joule energizer = 2 x 2m stakes).
-
Place multiple earth stakes at least 3m apart and connect with insulated lead-out cable.
-
Test with a voltmeter: the stake should read under 300V for optimal effectiveness.
