Chicken Net 11/42/3
Product Details
A prefabricated fence that has 11 horizontal twines (10 conductive); is 42" tall installed, and has string verticals every 3". Keeps in poultry and keeps out their ground based predators.
White PVC posts are built into the mesh every 13.6 ft. The result, when energized properly, is a nearly impenetrable mesh to sheep, goats, coyotes and dogs.
How does it compare to PoultryNet?
- Has 10 times more electrical resistance (380 Ω/1000 ft) so it's less suited for fences more than 1000 ft long.
- Not as easy to handle during removal and installation (longer length between posts means more material to fold/roll).
- Yellow color not as visible in light/dark situations as white/black.
Common Uses
- To contain and control the movement of chickens, ducks and other poultry.
- To prevent raccoons, coyotes, foxes, bears, dogs and other nonflying predators from killing poultry.
- To rotate poultry to fresh grass and to reduce disease risks.

Precautions
This is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. If animals are scared or starved it will not keep them in.
It is best to have animals trained to electric fencing before you turn them out in the net only. 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.
It has 380 ohms of resistance instead of 38 so it’s not advised for fences longer than 2 to 3 nets.
Note: We’re aware that the lower price of this net will encourage folks to choose this version. Think carefully before you do so. Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen its farmstore/catalog equivalents. So why do we offer it? Because it is similar to nets from other sources—and comparisons make decisions easier.
If unsure, give us a call at 800-282-6631 and ask to speak to consultant. They will help you make the optimal netting choice for your fencing needs.
Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. Warning! Do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting due to risk of fire. (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.
Dry or frozen ground many cause the NetPost spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed.

Works great for keeping rabbits out of our garden. I used the solar energizer from our chicken fence. It is a long span between posts. Meaning the netting sags a good amount between those posts. Some additional plastic netting posts would be a fix if it really bothers you.
Brenda R from Missouri
I use this fence to keep rabbits, racoons, and sometimes cattle out of my garden. Works great with the 3" spaces between verticals.
Samantha T from Alabama
Works great! Haven’t lost a chicken to the fox since I put it up.
Kari C from Michigan
So far so good keeping geese and chickens out of the garden.
Jose E from Florida
Fence is working as intended.
