Electric fence
Were soon moving to our new place near Coin and with us will be our 3 dogs. The problem is, though harmless lumps, they love escaping and wandering off for an adventure. The new place is fully fenced but in places it needs improving and in no place is it comcreted to the ground. Both our mastiffs are excellent diggers so i cant see the existing fence, even with some strengthening, stopping them for long. Therefore, im considering supplementing it with an internal electric fence. Does anyone know of a stockist or have any experience of using them.

Re: Electric fence
We bought ours from Guerrero in Coín to prevent the horses rubbing against the chain link fence. The transformers vary in power from elephants and giraffes to goats and dogs etc. Most have two outputs which are marked accordingly. They also sell the tape and other fittings including the stakes to which the tape is attached.
When we were originally looking we were told that you could only buy power units operated by a battery which turned out not to be true. You just plug the transformer into the mains and select the appropriate output.

Re: Electric fence
Thanks guys ill try both. I did start looking in bricomart and bauhaus witu no luck, hence not considering BigMat. Looks more likely to be stocked in the decent agro stores.

Re: Electric fence
AgroMalaga (next to Lidl)in Cartama and Torres (opposite Lidl) in Coin both have all the kit.
AgroMalaga have several English speakers if that helps!

Re: Electric fence
It was twenty years ago but it was Torres who told us that we had to have a battery operated power source. We just went across the road to Guerrera and found a mains operated one. I am sure Torres will now have mains ones as well but as a result of that we have always gone back to Guerrera which is just up the road from Lidl.

Re: Electric fence
I always find guerros to be cheaper than agromalaga.
Go to the one nearer lidl , theres one over the other side towards the feria ground (nice bar just past it on the right, churros before 12.00) but they seem to have less 'horsey' stuff and more seeds / plants / tools / hay etc
