Abstract

A portable electric fence kit for the erection of a temporary electric fence comprising: a primary fence section which is portable and non-electrified having two or more poles, a secondary fence section having two or more insulated poles secured to the poles of the primary fence section and having the ability to be electrified using a plurality of wires spanning the distance between the insulated poles, a plurality of wires spanning the distance between the insulated poles, system controls operationally associated with the fence sections, a power source operationally associated with the fence sections and the system controls, the power source providing electricity to the secondary fence sections and a coupling means which allows for one section of the fence kit and its wires to be coupled to another section of the fence kit and its wires.

Claims (50)

1. A method of erecting a portable electric fence comprising the steps of:

a. providing a portable electric fence kit for the erection of a temporary electric fence comprising:

a primary fence section which is portable and non-electrified having two or more poles, the primary fence section has an inner side and an outer side, a top and a bottom;

a secondary fence section having two or more insulated poles and having the ability to be electrified using a plurality of wires comprising insulated and non-insulated live wires which are secured to and span the distance between the insulated poles, the secondary fence section has an inner side and an outer side, a top and a bottom;

system controls operationally associated with the plurality of wires of said secondary fence section, said system controls having the ability to control the electrification of said secondary fence section;

a power source operationally associated with said secondary fence section and said system controls, said power source providing electricity to said secondary fence section; and

a plurality of couplings which allows for the plurality of wires associated with one secondary fence section of the fence kit to be coupled to a plurality of wires associated with another secondary fence section of the fence kit; and

a monitoring module which allows for said electric fence to be monitored both on-site and/or remotely;

b. erecting the primary fence section;

c. securing the secondary fence section to the poles of the primary fence section;

wherein the secondary fence section is laterally secured to the primary fence section and the outer side of the primary fence section faces the inner side of the secondary fence section;

wherein the bottom of the primary fence section and the bottom of the secondary fence section are positioned at or near a same height as each other; and

wherein the top of the secondary fence section is positioned at a height at or above the top of the primary fence section;

d. connecting the plurality of wires to the power source, system controls and monitoring module and/or coupling the fence sections from steps (b) and (c) to a previously erected primary and secondary fence section;

e. repeating steps (a) through (d) until the portable electric fence is constructed and wherein said fence sections are coupled together at variable angles resulting in a fence line of variable shape;

f. activating the system controls to electrify the plurality of wires; and

g. activating the monitoring module to alert one or more persons when the monitoring module registers a contact with one or more of the wires.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of wires is secured to each of the insulated poles and spans the distance horizontally between the insulated poles in a pattern alternating between uninsulated wires and grounded wires with one or more insulated live wires at each end of the spanned distance.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the portable electric fence is used to protect and monitor a construction site.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of wires are configured in a serpentine pattern.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the insulated poles of the secondary fence section span the same horizontal distance and vertical distance as the poles of the primary fence section.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the system controls include an electric fence energizer, the monitoring module, a control panel and a wireless communicator.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the system controls are portable.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the power source is selected from the group including battery power, grid power, solar power, wind power, or a combination thereof.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein said portable electric fence kit further includes an integrated footer or base operationally associated with each pole of the primary fence section.

10. A method of erecting a portable electric fence comprising the steps of:

a. providing a re-usable, portable electric fence kit for the erection of a temporary electric fence comprising:

a primary fence section which is portable and non-electrified having two or more poles, the primary fence section has an inner side and an outer side, a top and a bottom;

a secondary fence section having two or more insulated poles and having the ability to be electrified using a plurality of wires comprising insulated and non-insulated live wires which are secured to and span the distance between the insulated poles, the secondary fence section has an inner side and an outer side, a top and a bottom;

system controls operationally associated with the plurality of wires of said secondary fence section, said system controls having the ability to control the electrification of said secondary fence section;

a power source operationally associated with said secondary fence section and said system controls, said power source providing electricity to said secondary fence section; and

a plurality of coupling which allows for the plurality of wires associated with one secondary fence section of the fence kit to be coupled to a plurality of wires associated with another secondary fence section of the fence kit;

a monitoring module which allows for said electric fence to be monitored both on-site and/or remotely; and

an integrated footer or base operationally associated with each pole of the primary fence section;

b. erecting the primary fence section;

c. securing the secondary fence section to the poles of the primary fence section;

wherein the secondary fence section is laterally secured to the primary fence section and the outer side of the primary fence section faces the inner side of the secondary fence section;

wherein the bottom of the primary fence section and the bottom of the secondary fence section are positioned at or near a same height as each other; and

wherein the top of the secondary fence section is positioned at a height at or above the top of the primary fence section;

d. connecting the plurality of wires to the power source, system controls and monitoring module and/or coupling the fence sections from steps (b) and (c) to a previously erected primary and secondary fence section;

e. repeating steps (a) through (d) until the portable electric fence is constructed and wherein said fence sections are coupled together at variable angles resulting in a fence line of variable shape;

f. activating the system controls to electrify the plurality of wires; and

g. activating the monitoring module to alert one or more persons when the monitoring module registers a contact with one or more of the wires.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the plurality of wires is secured to each of the insulated poles and spans the distance horizontally between the insulated poles in a pattern alternating between uninsulated wires and grounded wires with one or more insulated live wires at each end of the spanned distance.

12. The method of claim 10 wherein the portable electric fence is used to protect and monitor a construction site.

13. The method of claim 10 wherein the plurality of wires are configured in a serpentine pattern.

14. The method of claim 10 wherein the insulated poles of the secondary fence section span the same horizontal distance and vertical distance as the poles of the primary fence section.

15. The method of claim 10 wherein the system controls include an electric fence energizer, the monitoring module, a control panel and a wireless communicator.

16. The method of claim 10 wherein the system controls are portable.

17. The method of claim 10 wherein the power source is selected from the group including battery power, grid power, solar power, wind power, or a combination thereof.
