#208021 - $1.42 per ft (50' roll with double spike posts). |
| Installation |
See PDF above for installation instructions. We use FiberRods (see under accessories tab above) at the corners for extra support. |
| Precautions |
Extra posts will be needed at the ends and at 90 degree corners. 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. Dry conditions and wintertime usages—may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing. Dry or frozen ground many cause the NetPost spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed. |
| Trouble Shooting |
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.

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

One of our consultants who travels around with her horses for barrel races likes to take along a roll or two of this so her horses can have a small paddock attached to the back of their trailer. Very easy to set up and it has higher ohms of resistance (less charge flows through) to accommodate more spirited horses.

--If you are methodical and follow a regular way of taking it down, keeping the top of the posts clear of the netting, it's possible to keep it from tangling.
--I've had deer try to get through it twice and the first time they broke one vertical netting part. (This because I haven't left the electric on when the horse is not in the fence.)
In general though, it's made my targeted grazing scheme work with ease. My pony respects the fence even when it is not electrified.
Would definitely recommend.
Since horses can level a pasture quickly, this fence can easily be moved and shaped any way you want to accommodate the horses.
Minus 1 star: It can get tangled up and it takes some real patience to untangle, especially for one person. It needs to be energized ALL THE TIME when the horses are out.
