Pls I need more light on electric fence for private residence. Pls how safe is having one especially above the metallic gate area? Has there been situations where wrong installations or forces of nature (heavy winds and rain,) has led to collapse and electric current leaking on the gate? Has there been cases where flow of rainfall has conducted electric current from the electric fence to unwanted areas? How legally protected is one should one's electric fence electocute someome (say a domestic worker) who mistakenly touches it? And how much electricy does the fence consume in say 24hrs of operation? Can it be powered by alternative source of energy? Is it worth installing one? Thanks

There is nothing special about going to Dubia. If I want to go, I won't even spend a penny. I will wait until when I am coming to Nigeria, then I will book my flight with Emirate and intentionally add 1-2 days transit through Dubia. The airline might even offer free hotel and feeding for the duration of transit.
So you see, it is not a big deal, but for some it is.

Morning all,

I am currently about to start my septic/soakaway construction in 3 days time. The blocks are ready. Just to give the go ahead to start digging.

However, I am still not sure what I want.

Whether to go for Biodigester technology or the conventional septic/soakaway.

I am soliciting for information from current users of biogester in there buildings. ( Not Marketers oh.)

Please how effective and efficient is it? Does it worth it ? I am trying to consider biodigester due to its low cost of construction.

THANKS

Electrical fence is a good and safe. it helps to keep some certain level of security in your home. If you have plants that grow around your fence make sure it is properly trimmed.
They require a working power source. If you have access to the grid, that is good, and your fence is ready to go. If you make your own power, then you will need to integrate them to solar power or another source. The power consumption is still low, but it is a constant low-level drain you must keep in mind.
An electric fence must be maintained. Broken or damaged insulators can leak current, poorly grounded fencers can fail to perform, weeds and vegetation on wires can drain the voltage and negate the entire purpose of the fence, and a scared animal can run right through the fragile wire if they are spooked enough.
You also need to ensure that the fence has been properly grounded otherwise it may become hazardous or ineffective.
Electric fence can cause serious shock to humans, but it can electrocute like a cat to death in some cases.
it is definitely worth installing.

It can be hazardous to human...just make sure the distance above the gate js about 6 inches .. then use the right materials. ...the one we installed recently killed a hug snake.

Until we change the country from politics of thuggery and do or die. Those omo onile are not just doing omo onile, they answer to our politicians n highly placed people during election, when they want to flush out their opponents, get their items for rituals or cause mayhem.
Don't be surprised, they have commissioners of police and the likes on their speed dial and they have been to so many cells and back.

That is just the bottom line of their menace. Funny enough, they are recruiting young ones into the system. A 15 year old boy had once challenged me on a site.

.

all good points given.
final point, which people usually don't think of....---install a timer socket with the electric fence...to automate its turning off and on...and programme it to come on at 10pm and go off at 6am. also install the power for the fence, in a discreet place. most electric fence, consume less than 1amp and this is delivered in pulses, which isn't enough to kill a human, as the human reflex will pull/jerk your body away....only way it can kill is if someone gets trapped or hooked there

No, I refuse to concur sir.
Politicians or leaders remain the cause of our problems in this country.
If an organisation wants to employ, such organisation goes as far as checking such potential employees health.
Look at Tinubu vying for the post of a president, is he medically fit?
Are the sayings "like leader like follower" and "We lead by example" not relevant anymore?

Its low voltage equipment. Your suggestion is also good by installing a switch using photocell to control the equipment.

True but they need you to show them X marks the spot.

I know what happened. They already did fence and stupidly limited themselves to space allowed by gate opening.

I broke my fence so that the rig can get to the specific spot marked by survey.

Greetings to my Oga's in the house. How many horse power (hp) of a pumping machine is ideal to install for a commercial build of a storey building.
Someone told me getting a 0.7 or 1hp is ok to do the Job because of the low voltage we have but I feel getting something within 1.5hp might do a better job.

Ejor I need your thoughts
