A nice feature of this net is the lowest strand is high enough off the ground to avoid most contact to weeds and sticks and hogs have a hard time burying the strand when they are rooting near it.

We love this fence, our pigs however do not! The quick and easy set up allows us to move our pigs with little stress. We will surely be buying more in the future.

I was skeptical about this type of fence but I am very happy with it. I like the visibility vs. single strands. My pigs are very content to stay within the paddock I made for them.

Very fast delivery, had the fence set-up in about 20 mins and pigs were already testing their boundaries, been a week now and so far no escapes. product appears to work fine, I even tried touching the fence myself and was throughly electrified, "wow" won't for get that again.

As with all of your electro netting products I was thrilled with the results. I was very happy with how solid and strong the posts were and with how easy it was to move the bottom strand to adjust to contoured land. The heights of the strands are perfect and it delivers a healthy enough shock to keep the pigs respecting it. Great value.

have used quick fence netting for the goats for two years. Got pigs in summer of 2012. they are fairly tame for pigs. They come when they see you to get scratched behind the ears. Got to the point of having to separate male from females at birthing, keep them out of here and there
Hell, just buy one of these if you have any problems. Elvis will not leave the building.

Put the fence up with minimal help and have had no problems keeping our Guinea Hogs and even our Dexter Cattle in.

We are raising our first pigs this year and were worried about escapes. We put this fence up very
easily, herded the pigs in and voila! They got shocked a couple times each, settled down to digging and haven't gone near it since. This is a great product and we will be getting more sections.

Just put the fence up yesterday and within 10 minutes of it being on, three of them escaped under the bottom. I didn't see how the did it but believe the were trying to escape, got shocked and scooted forward. Caught them with the helpof my premier poultry netting and put them back in the fence. So far they have been zapped a bunch and they haven't got out again. I think they will learn to respect it and will stay a long ways away from the fence.

Perfect combination of physical and psychological barriers for containing pigs. I had tried and failed multiple times to contain our 3 Berkshires with more traditional electric fencing. QuikFence was their last chance at being pasture pigs. They haven't escaped once from the QuikFence, even the short periods when it's been turned off. Just ordered another section. Money well spent. Thank you Premier1.

This is the best purchase we've made in a long time! We initially ordered 1- 100' fence to try it out. It has exceeded our expectations and we will be ordering at least 2-3 more! It literally takes less than 10 minutes to move it.

I could not immediately locate the directions for the fence. So, I jumped right and into installing the fence and felt enromously frustrated. Ironically, when later I did the directions, they said that many people feel they don't need the directions and cause unncessary frustration. Agreed. Love the product, working well now 10 days in...but please make the directions easier to locate.

Easy set up. Pigs still root up against the bottom wire. Have not tested it out in the woods yet, but worked right out of the box. Set up around our barn to train the pigs. Pigs (9 @ 3 month old) respected it right away. Ordered 2 - 100' sections. Going to order 2 more. Get 4 sections right away. It works and is a good price.

I love this fence; it is so easy to move around my pasture! My pigs got used to the electricity really fast so now I can turn it off to move it during the day and they stay out of the way.
It says not to use it with piglets less than 12 inches tall but if you put some support posts in it you can lower the bottom electrical line so a smaller pig won't get out. You can also adjust the height by moving the bottom line holder up a bit on each post or just one if the ground isn't level. My potbelly pigs haven't been able to bury the bottom strand of wire with all their rooting.

Very quick and easy to put up. No difficulty whatsoever. My 4 1/2 mo old potbelly had been living in the garage and it was time to move outdoors. Set it up, hooked up the juice---dog tested fence and showed me it was working when he jumped back 10 feet---and put the pig in. She proceeded to run to the fence and jump right on through. Hmmmm. Took the 2nd string of 100 ft fencing I bought and lined the inside of fencing #1 but staggered so holes are only 6" or so big (instead of 12")---making her touch fencing for longer. This time she paced and paced the fence and when she couldnt' stand it anymore...she went right on through again. Any other ideas???? Not sure if she is too small or what. On the other hand, my chickens are loving roosting in the cat carrier I have set up in the pen with hay in it..... I am determined to try this again. Not sure why it isn't working for me.

This was my second order of Pig QuikFence. Get four 100ft sections. Four sections allows you to have a two-section paddock with two gates. Then you set up the next two-section paddock and keep moving. Train the piglets to the fence. My pigs have not made it through the fence, although they don't seem to be afraid of the fence as I'd like. I'm using the PRS50 solar charger.

This is a fantastic product. I have used many of the poultry nets over the years, all of which work very well. The hog fence exceeded my expectations in durability and utility. I am able to control grazing of forest land to help improve my timber stands while providing high quality forage for my hogs. I plan on ordering many more of these.

Fencing works great. pigs trained to it easily. the rigidity of the vertical stays makes this fence a better choice than the poultry netting (another company's). very fast to move, we are relocating 3 pigs every 2-3 days and it takes only a few minutes.
the ability to move the lower strand up and down helps with the pigs rooting and uneven terrain

Easy to set up. We use a PRS50 Solar charger. We followed the instructions and taught the piglets about the fence the first day we brought them on the farm. They occasionally accidentally got a zap or two but for 8 months they never got out and really respected the fence. I actually shut the charger off for a few days and they never dared find out. I was skeptical at first but I am now a believer.
The only con is even though the bottom strand is 6" up off the ground they will still root up enough dirt and rocks to short out the fence quite often. You have to walk the fence daily and kick back the dirt and rocks.

My husband was skeptical and gave me a hard time when I wanted to purchase this fencing. I ended up buying it away...for our four pigs. Bought the pigs when they were only 40 lbs...AND NEVER once did they get out. When they were little...they tested every INCH of the fence and then hardly ever again. Every once in awhile they would push dirt up on the fencing...to be unsuccessful! BEST FENCING EVER! Can't wait for this years' pigs!! Also purchasing the chicken fencing! I am hooked!!!!

I have a Hampshire show gilt who is absolutely beautiful, but had no respect for any fence (including electric). I had tried hog panels (she jumped them) and I tried strands of electric fence, (still jumped them). Pig QuikFence was my last resort for her. I hooked the P30 up to 3 rolls of the Pig QuikFence, she touched it once and hasn't touched it since!
I have since bought at least 10 more rolls of it :)
Thanks Premier!

Yes, we had our pigs pastured in electric netting truly not designed for rooting pigs. We would leave the property for an hour and the pigs would get to work. They would begin to root right up against the bottom of the netting and cover the bottom two strands. Once buried, they would go under the netting and the great pig escape was on. Since, the Pig Quickfence has been installed and the pigs were quite diappointed, but they are truly happy now. And so are we - we are not continually worried about - "where will we find them next?"(In their pasture!

It took my 13 year old son and myself only about a half hour to fence in about a fifth of an acre with Pig Quikfence. Comparatively, it took my husband days to install our seven strand electric fence for you goat herd. I wish I had known about Premier1 Fencing before we put up that fence. From now on all the fencing on our farm will be Premier1 fencing!

A perfect product for this use; Recently our pigs outgrew their pen and we opted to transfer them to swamp and brush pasture on our farm. Boy was it horrendous trying to get them to the new Pig QuikFence pen from their old pen- the 300lb animals darted all over for quite an intense pig scramble. Luckily we had the quikfence on our side. After guiding each pig into the pen, we allowed them to get shocked once on the fence and that's all it took to deter them further. Once we had corralled all of them to their new pasture, the Pig QuikFence instantly became our preferred housing method. It certainly does hold-up to grounding as mentioned. Only large stumps and turf mounds on the netting will ground it. We will be purchasing much more of this product especially with its very economic pricing and high performance.

Okay, I now have poultry netting, sheep netting, and pig netting. Does Premier make "child" netting? : )
The pig netting is exactly what we needed! We run our pigs in movable pasture/woods paddocks, and have lots of twigs, etc. that can interfere with a fence. We had been using sheep fencing, which worked fine, but the pigs would root and cover up the bottom strand, or debris would otherwise end up shorting out the fence.
This product solves that problem. It is extremely easy to set up. I will definitely be buying more.
Once again, thanks, Premier, for helping to make rotational grazing so simple and enjoyable!

This is another one of those products that leaves you wondering why nobody has invented this before. I put a bunch of feeder pigs in a pen made with this. Every one of them had to touch it. A couple went through it. Got everybody put back in, re-energized it and have had absolutely no problems since. The entire training process took about 5 minutes. The height is perfect to easily step over to check feeders, etc.
