Electric Fence for Bears

Electric Fence for Bears, maintained and powered electric fence will keep bears away from your property without harming them. When a bear touches a line on an electrified fence, electricity instantly travels through the animal, into the grounding rod and back to the energizer. The animal gets a shocking lesson and learns to stay away from your property and food sources. This type of deterrent is safe for children & pets, livestock & even your bees.

Most people choose to use a 3-wire system with two hot wires and one grounding apron. Grounding is important to ensure the system doesn’t accidentally shut down due to dry soil. We recommend driving a grounding rod six feet straight down or at an angle (depending on your soil conditions) with a minimum of four inches of ground cover. If you don’t have sufficient ground cover, we recommend connecting multiple grounding rods.

Electric Fence for Bears: Keep Your Property Safe

It is a good idea to walk around your property and listen for a clicking sound which indicates electricity is flowing through the entire system. You should also look for insulators holding the wires away from metal or wooden posts and check that the gates are tightly closed. If the gate handles are not connected to their anchors, they may not close properly or may be open when the gates are unlocked. Also check that all of the wires are connected to the energizer and that no other objects or animals are creating a short circuit.
