ElectroFence® Plus 11/48/12 Electric Netting
Product Details
Effective at keeping in: sheep, goats, guard dogs and cattle while keeping out deer, coyotes and bear.
For fences that involve curves, corners and directional change, or when aesthetics are a concern, “Plus” nets include additional line posts to reduce sag. Line posts are spaced every 6'8" (vs. 12.5' for standard 48" ElectroFence).
What makes ElectroFence different from PermaNet?
- Strutted verticals every 12" vs PermaNet's string every 6".
- Has 10 energized strands vs 9 for PermaNet.
- Lowest energized strand 4" above the soil (vs 6" for PermaNet).
New to electric fence? Premier’s Starter Kits may be a good choice. They include netting, extra support posts, a solar fence energizer, ground stake and a digital tester.

Fencing FAQs 
Common Uses
For small breeds such as Pygmy or Nigerian Dwarf goats use PoultryNet style netting. The tighter spacings are a better deterrent to these species than the wider spaced ElectroFence.

Benefits
Installation
Note: Weeds must be controlled for ElectroFence to remain effective. Either move and mow as needed during the growing season, or spray herbicide (see photos above) along the bottom strand of the net. If you can’t do this, ElectroFence may not be the right net for you.
See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.
Precautions
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.

Preface — long time customer and own many Premier 1 fences. I’m trying to write this without saying anything negative about Premier 1, but this last fence is junk.
Yes, it works and works well IF you never have to move it. Otherwise it’s a tangley, spiderwebby, top cap disconnecting mess that i want to add to my burn pile.
Look, I have purchased many electric fences over the years. I use them for chickens, turkeys, and sheep. I currently have, IIRC 7 or 8 from Premier, in rotation now. The older ones I have are great! I 100% swear by them and I still tell people to stick to Premier 1 and avoid the “other guys”!
This last one I purchased though (few weeks ago)… it’s a mess. It tangles up way too easily. I think due to some sort of memory in the line not unlike bad mono fishing line.
I move these around for sheep grazing. Normally with the older fences, I can pull all the posts from a section, gather them all in one hand, draping the net and carry to new location and deploy, mostly with no issue. These new ones…not so much.
The other problem I’m having is where the top line goes through the black caps on the top of each post on these new ones. Those lines pop out of the caps way too easily. Heaven help you if you have to move this fence regularly, between the top lines coming free and the tendency to tangle, it’s just not worth the fight.
Rhod L from Tennessee
If you are on the fence about Premier 1, get one of their fences. It’s definitely a shocker!

I love this fence for my goats! Laying it out or taking it up is much easier with two people but it can be done fairly easy by yourself. I feel that the double spikes make it very sturdy and it looks very attractive when setup. I have three gates; one 4" and two 8" in different areas for easier access. My vet came out for a general health check and she inquired about the fence for her animals. I was happy to highly recommend it!

We raise goats and sheep. They are devils and get out of everything. This fence works great! Also keeps our Great Pyrenees dogs in. So happy with our choice. I researched a lot.
Eric T from New York
A little tough to set up without help, but doable.
