PoultryNet™ 12/48/3 Electric Netting

It's an 48 in. electrifiable prefabricated fence. It arrives at your door as a complete roll with the posts already built into the mesh/fence.

White vertical plastic strings are "welded" to black and white electro-plastic horizontal strings. They are supported by 1/2 in. diameter white plastic PVC posts--which are spaced throughout the netting. Each post has a small, steel spike that is to be inserted into the ground for support.

Just attach a fence energizer and it's ready to keep poultry in and their predators out. One roll (164 ft) weighs only 24 lbs.

Precautions

Note: Not effective with baby chicks that are small enough to crawl through the net openings and therefore are not deterred by the electric shock.

This is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. If animals are scared or starved it will not keep them in. The first time you put the animals in the net, you should be available to watch them for a while. That way if one were to get into the fence and get caught, you can turn the power off and get them loose.

This net will need extra supports posts. Use them at the corners and ends for sure. Extra posts may be needed elsewhere as well.
Troubleshooting

If the voltage drops below 3000v on the net, you need to turn off the energizer and unhook the net from the energizer. Test just the energizer by itself. If the voltage is 5000v or higher on the energizer the problem is in the net. The most common problem is that the lowest 'hot' strand has been caught around one of the metal spikes on the posts and is shorting it out. The net must be at least 2" away from anything metal (metal posts, existing fences, spikes on support posts).

On PoultryNets, the bottom hot wire can slip off of the plastic portion of the end posts down onto the metal spikes. This will cause a dead short and no energy will be on the fence. Unhook the energizer and slide the hot wire back onto the post. Hook energizer back to the net and test.
Warranty

With proper care, netting should last 5-7 years. Replacements will be prorated

This is a great concept. Easy to put up and move if necessary. Hens are laying better than ever! I did install fiberglass posts between the push in posts because mine is more permanent. Love it!!

Was very pleased at how easy this system is to set up and use. I feel at ease letting our dog out without fearing for the safety of our small flock of hens. Our neighbors run a bird dog training center, and the wayward escapee was also a concern.
The only issue now is covering the area to protect the girls from hawks.

It would useful to include information to let consumers know the configuration gives an odd number of lengths between post, making it impossible to create a square or rectangular enclosure. But that is a minor issue.
Did need to use several steel t-post to anchor to to keep line from sagging, but you can still call me a happy customer!!

I now have eight rolls of poultry netting, and am quite pleased with the product. Everything Premier says about its pros/cons is right on the money, so anyone buying this product should know exactly what to expect. We have had problems with skunks getting under the netting to our birds, and may need to try an offset wire. Otherwise, most birds stay in (a few fly-overs), and most critters stay out. Great stuff!

I wish I had ordered this fence earlier so that the fox would not have thinned my flock. Great product, easy to put up, works well. Ordered another roll to increase the area. We will use it in the winter to let the hens in the fallow garden.

I am loving the ease of use and effectiveness of this fencing -- we've got serious raccoons and coyotes at night, and they are not getting to our birds at all. My one complaint is that here on the Wet Coast the bottom lines short out a lot. We mowed the grass under the fence as short as one can do a pasture, and have braced the mesh as tightly as possible, but it sags between posts and lets the bottom lines touch the grass. Perhaps a different wire across the top line would help?

Was very easy to install. We have had it only a short period of time but we are confident that now that it is up it will do its job. We definitely would recommend it. Do stress though that a prospective customer purchase the corner posts (PowerPosts) that Premier also sells. It is much easier to install when the posts are used when turning a corner. Great product!

This netting is wonderful! It's easy to set up and very effective. Everything from ordering to receiving and speaking with customer service was excellent. I will recommend your products and will be purhasing from you again. Thank You!

I couldn't afford to buy the fencing and energizer but decided to take a chance and get just the fence. It set up easily and with the aid of landscape staples, my chickens are contained. By the end of summer, I'll buy the energizer which will make it even better. I love it.

Easy to setup. The instructions for using an AC charger were confusing. Seems like it is biased towards using a 12 volt DC battery. Don't bother hooking up a cheap charger or one designed for poultry, as it will not put out enough energy to properly charge the fence.

We purchased the PoultryNet 12/48/3 (48ā€¯ x 164ā€™) and the Patriot PS15 Solar Energizer Kit, both which was delivered timely and in perfect condition. After struggling with connecting the cables to the Energizer, using gloves and pliers and a lot of force, the net went up without any problems. It is recommended though to put 2ā€¯x2ā€¯ wooden tree stakes or fence posts as support in the corners or when changing direction from a straight line of the fence. It would not hurt if the built in stakes were much less flexible. The net has kept our small flock of rare breed chickens inside and the fox couple, which hunts all day and night, out. Our dog accidently tested the net, and he is now staying far away from it.

This is easy to use and appears to be effective. I expect to buy again. I admire the way the seller points out the things that people like about the product, as well as the things that some dislike about it. It's "drawbacks" are not really problems if you know what you're getting at the outset.

This is our second order of this fencing, which is used to help keep free-ranging chickens OUT of our garden. Needed more this year as the garden is much larger. Sometimes a few guineas do fly over the fence to go through the garden, but they are not the problem the chickens are, so that's okay, because this fence keeps out the chickens. Grass and weeds still grow into this mesh, but we are working on that.

It mostly works as advertised. I've had it up 2 weeks and have 5 of my 18 chickens enclosed. The other 5 get out at will. I think I'll clip wings and see if that helps. I've also been unable to get the net tight enough to keep it from popping every second where the bottom of the net between posts is dragging the ground. I think I need to get some fiberglass posts to keep those parts from touching the ground.

This is our 3rd poultry fencing order and the second time we have ordered this particular netting. We have been using Premier's poultry netting for about 4 years, and we really love it. We move the fences about every 2-3 weeks (we have 4 sections 165' long) for pasture rotation for our 130 hens. It takes about 20-30 minutes with 2 people. It has successfully kept our hens IN and everything else OUT. Thanks Premier!!!!

The netting was really easy to set up. We watched the video and then went out to the field. We had it set up in less than a half hour and our chickens are loving the new pasture!

This netting, combined with the Kube 3000, has protected my poultry from predators while giving them access to pasture. It's everything Premier says it is and more.
I love the portability and simplicity.
