- 1). Place at least three galvanized ground rods, at least 6 to 8 feet in length, underneath the prospective fence area to ensure good grounding. Attach them with good ground clamps. Not having adequate grounding will result in weak shocks that may not faze the felines.
- 2). Make sure the solar panels are facing the sun, if your fencing system is charged in this way. If you do not have the panels facing the right direction, the fence will not work.
- 3). Place the stakes into the ground a few feet apart. Surround the entire garden with the stakes. If you leave any gaps in your fencing, the cats will be able to get in.
- 4). Use high-quality insulators on your fence. Most insulators deteriorate after spending time in the sun, which can result in an unsafe fence. Use black insulators that are treated to resist fading and deterioration.
- 5). Check the fence's voltmeter often to make sure it has the right amount of charge running through it. Follow the manufacturer's suggestions for the voltage setting, as it varies per product. If the setting is too high, the fence could injure the cat. If the setting is too low; however, it will not affect the cat at all.
