New mounting trick for deer deterrent power plug

deer deterrent power source mounting tip


My new preferred method of mounting a power supply plug to a deer deterrent is to use a small stretch of plumber's strapping tape to make a bracket like above.

It will be mostly protected from the elements by being mounted on the underside of the board.

This configuration also allows for easy unplugging in the event that you have a power failure and the motor reverses direction. It's been my experience that these motors will start turning the other way depending on what point in the revolution it was powered off at. What works for me is to keep unplugging it and plugging it back up until you reach the spot where it gives the signal to switch directions.
