Seems like a solid unit, all metal, probably overkill for deer in your garden, 4-5k volts min is recommended for bears, coyote, etc. We just ordered a parmak 6 volt for lambs we're pasturing. Close to the same voltage, much cheaper. Baiting the fence is a good idea for a garden, peanut butter on tinfoil.

Pro tip- don't skip on the ground and water it when you put it in or it gets dry. The charger will do its job so all you gotta do is your own. Solars aren't charged up fully for maybe 24 hrs so don't let them get a light tap- get it up and running with a full on slap your face zap. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

Keep the hot wire close to the ground with a ground wire above it for coon. .Coon are the biggest problem here in Iowa. We don't have many lol bears lol around here. Ours is a Zareba brand. Pretty common around here and did a good job for us.We used it for cattle in a 20 acre pasture. just Last edited by AKAjust; 05/21/20 01:01 AM.
