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.

So easy to handle and push into the ground.

Easy to drive in, and easy to relocate and move. Works well in moist regions. We get 36" of rain/year and not too hot temperatures, so our subsoils rarely dry out. You might need longer if in drier regions.

Perfect for our ground!

I really like these ground rods. I got 2 of them. It’s made it much easier to move when needed. Awesome product!

Neck of the T is weak, bends then breaks (third use).
