ElectroNet® with PrimaPosts™ 9/35/12
Product Details
New! A prefabricated electric fence that has 9 horizontal strands (8 conductive), is 35" tall installed and has vertical struts every 12". PrimaPosts™ are built into the mesh every 12.6 ft.
When properly energized, 35" tall ElectroNet® with PrimaPosts™ is a nearly impenetrable mesh to sheep, goats, coyotes and dogs.
Why PrimaPosts?
- Stiffer—advanced fiberglass composite for increased strength and rigidity
- Weighs less per ft—posts are smaller in diameter vs. PVC posts of similar stiffness (13mm vs. 19mm); this enables longer sections (164' vs. 100') without additional weight
Which ElectroNet® is right for you?
We offer many fences to fit your situation, including multiple lengths with different post spacings, drivable line posts and positive/negative options for dry soils. Visit this link to compare all ElectroNet options.
Fencing FAQs 
Benefits
Its very low electrical resistance (38 ohms per 1000') is important for fences that are either long or will experience high weed contact.
ElectroNet® with PrimaPosts™ is available in (2) colors:
- Green & White — Item #208449
- Blends well with a green-grass background while offering good visibility to humans and animals.
- Blue & White — Item #208452
- 4-legged animals generally have poor color vision, but see shades of blue clearly. Because blue is an unusual color when seen on the ground, curious livestock (and their predators) check the fence with their sensitive noses. The result is a memorable electric shock. Animals conclude the fence itself is painful—and learn to avoid it.
Common Uses
- Contain sheep, goats and cattle and keep out predators such as coyotes, dogs and bears
- Enclose rams and buck goats
- Make small pastures for animals that need special attention (ewes/does/nannies with triplets; injured or stressed animals)
- Effective for beehive protection to keep out livestock and bears
- Strip grazing pastures, orchards, vineyards and stockpiled forages
- Wildfire mitigation (managed grazing)
- As an interim fence until a more permanent fence can be built
- Installing water gaps that work
- Making lanes for moving animals
- Protecting outdoor hay supplies

Installation
Ensure the net is at least 2" away from anything metal (e.g. T-posts, existing wire fences, spikes on support posts, etc.)
See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.
Precautions
Netting must be moved when tall grass covers the lower “hot” strands. The alternative? Apply a strip of herbicide to kill vegetation.
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 posts to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed when using PrimaPosts™ in hard soil. We recommend using drivable or single spike posts in hard soils. Double spike posts provide more stability when the ground is soft.
Troubleshooting
If possible, separate the fence into sections. Then progressively reconnect, checking voltage as you go. When the voltage drops, you’ve identified the section with the problem. Listen for snapping sounds. This occurs when a conductor is close to a grounded wire, metal objects, fallen branches, or other green vegetation causing a “short”. Shorts cause fence voltage to collapse and allow animals to touch the fence without feeling pain.

I purchased four sections of the ElectroNet 164’ to create two adjoining paddocks for four recently acquired goats. I was able to create the paddock by myself without assistance which is quite the achievement as anyone with experience can tell you. The net is sturdy and holds up nicely. Coupled with a simple boxstore solar charger we are seeing over 6k volts consistently. I would highly recommend this product from its sturdy construction, timely shipping, and customer service.

Wish I could give them zero stars! The Prima Posts are flimsy and won’t keep anything in or out! Don’t waste money on this! I don’t know why Premier 1 is even putting their name on this worthless fence.

Hopefully, I can update this review later after the fence has spent a solid summer in the heat and UV of the Gulf Coast.
I invested in the ElectroNet (standard) with PrimaPosts after borrowing other electric netting with white posts that had warped and just weren’t really rigid enough. I constantly had to reset them every few days because of the bowing. This fence is holding up (after a week) with no bowing, no additional support posts, and is working well to contain my small goat herd of does (who are already trained to electric) with a 5 mile solar fencer. It is nearly invaluable to be able to rotate my goats to new forage in about 30 minutes (with just one person).
So far, I tentatively recommend this. Next, I would love to try the “pro” version, since I will be setting fencing around brush.

Watch the videos. The product was not as easy to unroll as they say. I don’t have a smooth yard. I have rocks and ground cover a mower can’t fix. It took 2 people about an hour to unroll and set up 364 feet. The poles are nice and easy to install even in my horrible rocky ground. I would buy this product again, I’ll just make some changes on how we move it to the next section of property.

I have used some version of Premier electric netting for over 35 years. I must admit at times it can be very frustrating; double spikes in Georgia soil…tough. But the new PrimaPosts are a real game changer. I purchased a 164' section for the first time in years and was able to handle the entire role with ease. I’m now 68 years old. And going forward it’s all PrimaPosts!
