Officially, the copper rods aren"t even right for the type of electric a charger puts out. It should be galvanized, of all things. It should be deep enough to hit moist ground, which is why that say 5 or 6 feet. And they like 3 rods for the "real" fencers. Ok, so this is a small fencer, and want to move it. I"d buy a better fencer & energize the main fence, just hook onto that. Will make the next 20 years a lot easier. But that isn"t what you wanted to hear. :) Could you run a smooth wire along one side, inside your fence posts, and make that live? Make it a permanent instalation, then hook the portable wire onto that? It"s just you are really making a lot of work for yourself without a live wire available to clip onto..... In real dry conditions what they do is alternate hot & ground wires. That doesn"t work either, because you only have 1 temp wire. What is your main fence constructed of? Wire contacting many metal fence posts? You could try hooking the ground clip - firmly! - to a metal fence post or wire on the main fence. Then all those (short, tho...) metal posts will spread out the grounding around the whole pasture area. This has a good chance of working. Unless you have dry sandy soils. So, I suppose you have all wooden posts..... You have an awkward situation there. --->Paul
