  1. Determine how many corners or ends will be needed to completely enclose the desired area. Install those corners or ends first. Select any posts from the kit as corner or end posts. These posts should be securely placed in the ground. Each kit contains one drive rod that is used to drive into the ground. Insert the drive rod about 7" into the ground, remove and lightly tap the post into the hole. Do this for each post.

  2. Remove a package of 3/8th inch insulators from the kit. Place one insulator per corner post near top of fence post.

  3. Remove polywire from the kit. Attach the end of the polywire, from the roll, to one corner post so that the poly wire fits into the insulator as in Figure B. Run the poly wire, through the insulator, around each corner post until all corner posts or ends are attached together by the poly wire. Remove any slack in the poly wire. Polywire can be secured by simply hand tying a knot in the polywire to the insulator. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for double wire system.

  4. Locate 4 pk of anchor stakes w/rope in the kit. Place one at each corner post. Secure each corner by securing the stake rope to the corner post and tightening the rope with the stake at a 45 degree angle.

  5. Now that the above steps have been completed, begin to secure posts between each corner post in an evenly spaced pattern. Depending on the terrain and fence layout the fence posts can be over 20 feet apart.

  6. Place insulators on all fence posts that were installed in step 4.

  7. Locate the electric fence controller from the fence kit. (Solar: Place the solar energizer in direct sunlight for 3 days in the off position before placing on the fence. If you hear the energizer clicking you have pushed the power switch to the ON position. Keep your hands away from the energizer terminals.) (Plug-In: It is recommended that plug-in units be covered and protected from rain and snow.) If using the plug-in system, find the post with the attached mounting clip and secure the energizer to it. If using the solar model use the ground rod in step 9 to secure the power unit.

  8. Upon mounting the energizer in the desired area of the fence cut a short piece of polywire from the excess roll. Tie the piece of poly wire to the existing wire that goes around the fence using several square knots wrap the other end of the short piece to the wire terminal at the bottom of the electric fence controller marked fence.

  9. Locate the metal ground rod in the box. Insert the ground rod into the ground next to the power unit, bury as much of the ground rod as possible (if 1 ft or less is all that can be buried, bury the rod lengthwise). Remember that the solar energizer mounts directly onto the ground rod so leave approximately 18" for the solar unit. For plug in only: Attach a cut piece of polywire to the ground terminal, of the power unit, and the other end to the ground rod. Make sure that this wire is secure and does not touch the fence line. Solar unit only: Mount onto ground rod by sliding rod through clamp in back of solar unit and tighten. Unit should face South.
  10. Locate the deer pops box in the kit. Follow the deer pop instructions to attach and properly bait the easy deer fence kit.
  11. If using a solar electric fence controller, turn the device on by using the switch located at the bottom of the electric fence controller. The plug in electric fence controller is activated simply by plugging in the device.
