Clever Way To Protect Fencer
 |
 |
“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.”
