PoultryNet™ 12/42/3 KIT

We've simplified the process and taken the "guess" work out by offering kits to complete your poultry fence system. You will need a Poultry net kit and a Energizer kit.

PoultryNet is a 42 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.

Kit Contains:

  • 1 - 164 ft roll of 42 in. PoultryNet (choose either single or double spike netting, see below).
  • 5 - Additional support posts

Benefits

Easy to move to new grass areas. No extra gates needed. Just turn off the energizer and pull the first post to create an opening.
Installation

See PDF above.
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 the extra supports posts included in this kit. Use them at the corners and ends for sure. Extra posts may be needed elsewhere as well.
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. 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.
