Handy netting kit to control the movement of chickens, ducks and other poultry on a daily or weekly basis. You will need a fencer to electrify the net. 42" tall.

Recommended for containing heavy, non-flying birds and is easier to handle than taller nets. For flightier breeds or protection from larger predators, look to 48" PoultryNet kits.

Benefits
Netting is quick and simple to move. Even for new users, it takes less than 10 minutes to go from out-of-the-box netting to installed fence.

No extra gates needed. Just turn off the energizer and pull the first post to create an opening. For added convenience, a PoultryNet® Gate can be used to provide easy access without the need to turn the energizer off.

PoultryNet “Plus” is identical to standard 42" PoultryNet, but to help with sagging, we’ve added more posts to shorten the distance between them (6'8" vs. 12'). More posts means less sag and a more versatile fence which adapts easily to curves and hills.

Double spike posts are more stable in soft soils.

Common Uses
  • Contain and control the movement of chickens, ducks and other poultry on a daily or weekly basis.
  • Prevent raccoons, coyotes, foxes, dogs and other predators from killing poultry.
  • Rotate poultry to fresh grass as a food source and to reduce disease risks.
  • Keep small flocks in the backyard. When managed well, chickens are an indispensable garden tool—turning pesky insects and weeds into rich compost.
  • Can be used to contain and control livestock other than poultry, such as goats.

Specs

Netting kit includes:

  • 100 or 164 ft roll of 42" PoultryNet or PoultryNet Plus single spike or double spike electric netting.
  • 4 42" FiberTuff™ support posts.

PoultryNet 12/42/3 is a 42" electrifiable prefabricated fence. It arrives at your door as a complete roll with the single spike or double spike posts already built into the mesh/fence. Features 12 horizontals strands (11 conductive) with vertical strings placed every 3". “Plus” nets include additional line posts spaced every 6'8" to reduce sag. Add more rolls for a larger enclosure.

FiberTuff™ Posts provide additional support around curves, corners and other major directional changes. Use at end posts to help maintain tension on the fence.

Installation
The same “unroll and then unfold” process applies to all electrified nets. Minimal strength or skill needed (and no tools). Extra supports such as FiberTuff™ step-in posts are useful at corners, curves and ends. You will need a fence energizer to electrify the net.

See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.

Precautions
PoultryNet® is not effective with baby chicks that are small enough to crawl through the net openings and therefore are not deterred by the electric shock.

Electric fence is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. A common mistake is not electrifying it. Animals may escape or become entangled (and may die). On a % basis, entanglement is very rare, but it can and does occur. 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.

Netting must be moved when tall grass covers the lower “hot” strands. The alternative? Apply a strip of herbicide to kill vegetation.

Warning! Due to risk of fire, do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting or electro-plastic conductors such as rope, twine or tape. Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. (Fi-Shock™ brand energizers which are sold as low impedance, continuous current output should NOT be used with electric netting.) All energizers sold on Premier’s website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for use with electric netting.

Dry conditions and wintertime usage may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing. Ice and heavy snow can flatten netting and thereby damage it.

Dry or frozen ground may cause posts to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed. We recommend using drivable or single spike posts in hard soils. Double spike posts provide more stability when the ground is soft.

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 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).

With PoultryNet, the bottom hot wire can slip off of the plastic portion of the end posts 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. Reconnect the energizer to the net and test.

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

Works well, but the posts are super flimsy. You’ll need the support poles plus some stakes and rope to keep the fence up straight.

This poultry fence saved my chickens! They were slowly getting picked off by a fox. I ordered it and it came the next day. I set it up outside their coop and so far so good. It was very easy to set up and works great. I am very impressed with this product!

Buy high tensile wire with t-posts or metal panels — this type of fence makes life a living hell. It’s miserable to move, won’t carry electricity (max 1kv even grounded and with weed eating edges). I hate this fence so much I want to throw it in trash. What a waste of money.

Quality fence. Just what I needed to manage the flock and it’s easy to keep them where I need them to be.

It has kept the nightly predators away. A week before I got the Premier fence something killed all my quail.
