To install
The process itself is similar to other
nets—except that the net is heavier and
post spikes are larger (therefore more
difficult to push into the soil).
Two people make the task much easier
and faster
(see at top right)
.
Extra posts needed at corners, curves
and ends.
You will need an energizer to
electrify the net.

PermaNet features the same mesh as
PoultryNet but with thicker/sturdier
posts. It is designed to be a more
permanent net.
Posts with 2 (double) spikes (DS) are
often easier to install because you can
push them in with your feet. However
they are difficult to put in and remove
from dry/frozen soil.
Note: PermaNet won’t stop young birds small
enough to crawl through the net openings. For these
few weeks in your flock’s life we suggest making a
small inner pen with steel chicken wire.
We suggest installing PermaNet
with 2 people because...
PermaNet, because of the netting’s extra
width/height and the larger, heavier line
posts, is notably more cumbersome to
handle than ordinary netting.
That makes it more difficult to install
than other forms of netting—and explains
why we use this as a semi-permanent
fence—to be moved less frequently
It can be handled, installed and removed
by 1 person (I’ve often done it) but having
a person on each end of the long posts
more than doubles the productivity.
Pushing or stepping posts into the soil is
still a one-person task—although it takes
more effort and time because the spikes
are larger and longer.
It’s also more efficient to have 2 persons
to remove PermaNet. Pulling the posts out
doesn’t need 2 people.
But picking up the posts as you walk
along the fence line is easier when a
person is on either end of the posts as
shown above.
(above) Netting works best with birds that aren't
able or inclined to “fly”— which includes most
medium to heavy breeds.
Strong posts
(right)
The
weight of ice on
this net illustrates
the strength of a
PermaNet post.
Netting with
a normal net
post holding this
amount of ice
would be flat on
the ground. (Of
course ice storms vary. Too much ice will
flatten all nets—and many fences.)
To insert posts into frozen soil:
1. Use a battery drill and 5/16" drill
bit extension to make a starter hole.
2. Insert the post into the hole.
3. Make sure the posts fits into the
hole and is secured into the ground.
Weed issues
Weeds must be controlled for PermaNet
to remain effective.
Either move and mow as needed during
growing season, or spray herbicide
(see
photos on the left)
along the bottom strand
of the net.
If you can’t do this, PermaNet may not
be the right net for you.
