Bear QuikFence® 12/35/12

Single Spike Drivable posts.
Single Spike Drivable posts.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Read reviews »

When properly electrified, this netting protects beehives and campsites from bears.

Bear QuikFence has drivable posts (.75" dia.) are much stronger and stiffer than standard line posts and can be pounded in with a dead-blow hammer or mallet. Fence installs easily in hard/frozen soils as well as soft soils. Pushing in posts is no longer necessary.

It can be set up as a Pos/Neg fence. What does this accomplish? Eliminates the need for the soil to carry pulse back to the energizer's ground rod—this method provides superior results when soils are dry.

Each roll comes with 1 Warning Sign and 1 Repair Kit.

* Pos/Neg (PN) fences are recommended where the soil is very dry and/or the animals do not ground well. Two clips are used at each end. One is hooked to the energizer, the second should be connected to a ground rod.

Benefits
To reduce energy leakage from tall grass, disconnect stainless steel clips at the bottom of the net to halt power to lowest strand. Useful if net is in place for several months.

Drivable Posts (DP) For those who find it too hard to push single-spike or step-in double-spike posts into the soil. If double-spike posts cause frustration (from tangling)—drivable posts can provide relief.

How?

  • Instead of dividing downward force (from hammer) over 2 spikes, using a single spike directs it to 1—this makes insertion into hard soils easier.
  • Single spikes do not tangle (as double spikes are prone).

Cost
#205100 - $1.70 per ft (100' roll with single spike posts).
#205050 - $2.70 per ft (50' roll with single spike posts).

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.

Tip: When using Pos/Neg fencing, a PowerLink (see Accessories above) is recommended to attach the negative lead to the ground rod.

See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.

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.

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).

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

Bear QuikFence® 12/35/12
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This fence is easy to install with two people. Just don't get frustrated when your first attempt to have the fencing unroll as ours was a bit tied up but once we found the one wire that was wacky, everything went smoothly.

The only recommendation I would make is to possibly purchase additional posts to add mid-way along the sides. On our bumpy land this could pull the fence up at the bumps along the open sections to prevent grass at the fence bottom.

Sturdy, thorough coverage is provided. I have had no trouble opening the fence and getting it back together with firm re-installation of the moved post in our heavy clay soil. Makes me feel like my bees are safe.

Fence is easy to handle. Fast to set up. The driveable posts are sturdy and work good in semi rocky soil. Sturdy corner posts will help fence support against wind.

Easy to install though I haven't tried hooking up to my power source yet. Best put into place with two people.
