Subject: I can't believe I am not the only one


South Dakota
I purchased the kencove Kiwi Double U with steel reinforcing for high pressure. Item number 148.. I have over 20 corners. It is a 3 wire hot system with one grounded with 5 ground rods . I spent an entire winter that was mild building this fence and thought it was the super fence that would last forever. I now find the stray voltage through wire that holds corners. It is obvious the heavy and expensive steel reinforced caused the issue. I will be harder changing them then putting them in fresh since wire is already there. Rail road ties are in all my corners with brown treated posts in-between Now the treated posts are rotted off after 15 years. I think an untreated post would have lasted longer.
