To stop feral hogs.

Pos/Neg fences—are for dry, sandy or rocky conditions. Ideal for situations when there is too little moisture in the soil to properly ground the fence.

• 10 horizontal white and black strands (9 electrified).
• Horizontal spacings from bottom to top are: 4" 2", 2", 2", 2", 2", 2", 4", 4".
• Verticals are white plastic struts spaced 12" apart.
• Posts are 1/2 in. diameter PVC with a bottom metal spike that goes into the ground.
• Spikes are 6" long and 1/4" in diameter.
• Posts are spaced every 12 ft.
• Installed net is 24 in. tall.
• Net is supplied in 100' or 50' lengths.
• 38 Ohms of resistance per 1000'

Every net is supplied with 1 warning sign and 1 repair kit.
Each fence can be wired as a Pos/Neg fence (for dry soils) or Pos/Pos (soils damp enough to keep grass green).

Feral hogs are a rapidly growing problem. It's common for hogs to find ways through, under or over physical barrier fences. Electrified fences are more reliable because hogs use their noses to investigate new situations. When the bare nose contacts an energized strand a powerful, but very brief pulse of electricity passes through the hog- causing sudden, sharp pain.

#208065 - $1.24 per ft (50' roll with single spike posts).
#208066 - $0.86 per ft (100' roll with single spike posts).

For dry areas install as a Pos/Neg fence. Connect the energizer fence lead to the positive "+" net clip and energizer ground lead to the ground rod. Then connect a PowerLink from the negative "-" net clip to the ground rod.

For moist conditions connect both net clips together and attach energizer fence lead to net clips then attach energizer ground lead to ground rod.

Also see pdf above.

If vegetation touches both the bottom positive strand and the negative strand (only 2" away) an electrical short is likely. A larger energizer is often needed.

Note: This is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. If animals are scared or starved it is less likely to keep them out.

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.
