T Ground Rods
This ground rod features a unique T handle, which makes it easier to grip when removing from soil.
The ground system is an essential component of any electric fence. Ground rods guide the pulse from the soil, back into the energizer. The larger the pulse or higher the resistance of the soil (because it’s dry, sandy, or rocky), the more ground rods that are needed to collect the electrons from the soil.

The 3' ground rod was easy to work with.
Kenneth M from Kansas
Good, but small hole at top of handle is a weak spot that cracks after repeated pounding into soil.
Fred E from Connecticut
Worked well in rocky soil.

Does the job.

Works great. Slides in with ease and easy to pull back out as well. Wish I had this ground rod years ago.
