I have made a slug/snail electric fence for keeping the critters off my veg plot (See attachment). I used stainless steel wire, bought from a hardware shop to make two tracks round a wooden fence connected POS of a 12v battery in series with a bulb and the other wire to NEG. It's been working ok for two days till today, where one wire snapped. It rained last night, and there are stains, perhaps rust or snail slime. It seems that the wire I bought can't stand the conditions. The wires are taught, but not too much. The wire is none magnetic.
Do you think stainless steel welding wire would work or would it also stain and break under these conditions?
