Higher output requires more ground rods, underground cables, multiple output terminals, etc.Įlectric fence is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. Recommended for whole-farm systems, but can be complex to install.Cold temperatures do not affect performance.Best for fences exposed to heavy vegetation.Least cost to purchase and operate per joule of output.Most farmstore solar units are too weak, in joules of output, to properly energize netting.Batteries are less effective in cold temperatures (deplete faster).

Because they need a battery, these units are more costly to purchase and operate than plug-in units.

Visit this link for answers to other common energizer questions.

Always connect the fence to an energizer, not an outlet.

Use insulated wire that is designed for electric fences.

Don’t allow your lead acid battery to discharge below 40%.

Use enough ground rod(s)-included with our energizer kits.

Use a fence tester to check the voltage often.

Use a low-impedance intermittent pulse energizer.

When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence-and need additional output.

Buy a larger energizer than necessary.

Remember, all fences must be kept free of vegetation. Pos/Neg fences can be converted to Pos/Pos in moist conditions. This will deliver more pain to the animal than an all hot net (Pos/Pos) because moisture in the soil is not required to complete the circuit. In order to receive a shock, the animal must touch both a positive (hot) and negative (grounded) strand at the same time. A PowerLink must be purchased separately to make the secondary ground connection. Because half the strands are connected to the ground terminal or ground rod, reliance on soil moisture is reduced. To overcome this, Pos/Neg nets* are wired to allow the use of every other horizontal strand as an extension of the ground terminal. However, not all areas have the required moisture.ĭry soil increases resistance-a weaker, less effective pulse occurs that does not deter animals.

× About Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) Nets Is your area dry?Ĭonventional electrified fence systems rely on soil moisture to be effective. (Its mortal enemy is errant lawn mowers!) And it’s durable! Nets last over 10 seasons if used and stored properly. You will need a fence energizer to electrify the net.Įven for new users, it takes less than 10 minutes to go from out-of-the-box netting to installed fence. Extra supports such as FiberTuff™ step-in posts are useful at corners, curves and ends. Minimal strength or skill needed (and no tools). The same “ unroll and then unfold” process applies to all electrified nets. And the tighter weave resists snags when moving the fence in rough terrain and pastures. More metal on the outside of the strand enables better animal-to-conductor contact.

ElectroNet® Pro 9/35/12 has braided horizontal conductors, not twisted.19mm) this enables longer sections (164' vs. PrimaPosts™ are manufactured using an advanced fiberglass composite and are smaller in diameter vs. NEW! ElectroNet® with PrimaPosts™ 9/35/12 has stiffer line posts for increased strength and rigidity.

#ELECTRIC SHEEP NETTING PLUS#

ElectroNet® Plus 9/35/12 is identical to standard ElectroNet, but to help with sagging, we’ve added more posts to shorten the distance between them (6'8" vs.

Available Pos/Neg option for dry conditions. Brown drive-caps indicate these posts are drivable. posts are much stronger and stiffer than standard line posts and can be pounded in with a dead-blow hammer or mallet.

ElectroNet® 9/35/12 (with drivable posts) is best suited for dry, hard or rocky soil.

Choose the Pos/Neg option when there is too little moisture in the soil to properly ground the fence. Built-in line posts (0.51" dia.) are spaced every 12'5".

ElectroNet® 9/35/12 is 35" tall and has 9 horizontal strands (8 conductive) with vertical struts every 12".

As an interim fence until a more permanent fence can be built.

Strip grazing pastures, orchards, vineyards and stockpiled forages.

Effective for beehive protection to keep out livestock and bears.

Make small pastures for animals that need special attention (ewes/does/nannies with triplets injured or stressed animals).

Contain sheep, goats and cattle and keep out predators such as coyotes, dogs and bears.

Ideal for situations when there is too little moisture in the soil to properly ground the fence. It’s also available as a Pos/Neg fence for dry, sandy or rocky conditions. Its very low electrical resistance (38 ohms per 1000') is important for fences that are either long or will experience high weed contact.

Because it’s so easy to install and remove, many move ElectroNet weekly-fencing the flock or herd instead of an entire pasture. When properly energized, 35" tall ElectroNet® is a nearly impenetrable mesh to sheep, goats, coyotes and dogs.
