Trying not to but the underground cable I bought to go from the charger to the tree is 14 gauge and it's definitely hot at the tree (I zapped myself). Just can't figure out why the HC isn't being charged (I tried to zap myself on the HC strips). From what I've read, galvanized HC is conductive.
"Load of #6"? S'plain, please.
Maybe the screws you installed the HC with are contacting the t-posts in some places?
#6 refers to the size of the shot in a 2 3/4 inch 20 gauge shotgun shell. Kills em graveyard dead. Preferable to a.22 bullet as it does not travel as far.
Not going to kill them (I hope).
Not positive, but they are only half inch sheet metal screws and the metal stakes inside are the cheap green ones, very thin. The stakes are three feet above the ground and the PVC is 5 feet. I'll see if I can get something thin to slide down inside the PVC and check.
I tried that with a bird feeder and it didn't even slow them down.
Well aint no harm in that i guess.
You can’t kill enough to harm the population
Man those look great.
Now that I've backed them out and attached the wires from the charger with copper split bolts (thanks Jim), the first two strips are charged. I'm going to try to use alligator clips to connect the other strips.
