How Electric Fence Works

Instructions/Diagrams
Netting is 60" (5 ft) tall to discourage deer.

  • 60" (5 ft) tall. Stops large and agile animals like livestock, bears, deer, dogs and coyotes.
  • Has verticals every 3" near the bottom (to stop rabbits, groundhogs, raccoons, skunks, dogs and geese). Verticals every 20" near the top. The unique spacing reduces cost and sagging between posts.
  • Posts every 6.8 ft.
  • Double spike posts.
  • 12 horizontal strands that are spaced close together near the soil.

Why use VersaNet Plus 60 instead of Deer QuikFence or PermaNet 19/68/3?

  • Unlike Deer QuikFence, close spacings near the soil will stop small critters.
  • Fewer overall strands than PermaNet 19/68/3—less weight/easier to move.

To Install

The same “unroll and then unfold” process applies to all electrified nets. However, this net is heavier and post spikes are larger than our other nets (therefore more difficult to push into the soil). Because the rolls are long and heavy, installation requires 2 people. Extra line posts are usually not necessary but, due to the extra height and weight of this net, extra supports such as 11/16" FiberRods are useful at corners, curves and ends. You will need a fence energizer to electrify the net.

We suggest installing with two people. Why? Because of its extra weight and longer posts. It can be handled, installed and removed by one person, but having another person on each end of the posts doubles the productivity and makes it easier for both.

Pushing or stepping posts into the soil is still a one-person task. And so is pulling the posts out of the soil. But these tasks take more effort because the spikes are both larger and longer. (After all, it doesn’t work to have a strong, well-supported post without large and long spikes.

To purchase:

  1. Measure the fence line.
  2. Choose the length and the amount of netting needed. Example: A 150 ft fence requires one 100 ft net and one 50 ft net.
  3. Choose support posts—As needed for ends, curves and corners. Premier’s 11/16" FiberRods posts are advised.
  4. Select an energizer, ground rod and a fence tester.

We offer many fences to fit your situation, including different heights and lengths, multiple colors, drivable posts and positive/negative options for dry soils. Questions? Call our fence consultants at 800-282-6631 for expert advice.

Precautions

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.

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 post spikes 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.
