ElectroStop is 7" taller than ElectroNet®. Has one extra conductive twine. A prefabricated fence that has 10 horizontal twines (9 conductive); is 42" tall installed, and has large white plastic vertical struts every 12".

White PVC posts are built into the mesh every 12.5'. The result, when energized properly, is a nearly impenetrable mesh to sheep, goats, coyotes and dogs.

The black and white colors provide 24/7 visibility to both humans and animals against light and dark backgrounds. It's low electrical resistance (only 38 Ω/1000 ft) is an important benefit for longer fences and/or fences with high weed contact.

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 ElectroStop options.

Instructions/Diagrams:

Benefits
Very easy to move. Secure for adults, lambs and kids. Extra height is better for large and/or flighty animals. Visible for animals against all back grounds. End posts act as built in gates. Multiple nets hook to each other quickly via a clip on each end. Double spike posts are more stable in soft soils. Plastic strut verticals are more rigid than string verticals. Nets with vertical struts bunch less than string verticals when the net is being rolled up or unrolled.

Common Uses
Used to keep sheep, goats, guard dogs in while keeping out stray dogs and coyotes. Also used to keep bear away from bee hives. Suitable for cattle.

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 ElectroStop.

Available with positive/negative (Pos/Neg) capability for high resistance fencing conditions.

* 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.

Quick Ground is a special use netting developed by Premier. Metal filaments in the bottom horizontal strand serve as the ground rod to complete the electrical circuit. It’s designed for those that move netting very frequently. There is a risk with this design; if vegetation touches both the bottom strand and the first positive strand (only 3" away) an electrical short is likely. We recommend using a larger (in output) energizer.

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.

ElectroStop is a little taller than ElectroNet and designed for goats rather than sheep. The net is heavier and not as easy to install as ElectroNet (taller net = added weight and longer posts). If you have sheep use ElectroNet, if you have goats and tall sheep use ElectroStop.

Works great 90% of time.
Does not stop rutting Bucks (at least with my overloaded charger), or small lambs (they go through the holes). Vegetation grows like the jungle during spring in Michigan and quickly overwhelms, even hides the net.
The spikes do rust rather quickly.
Needs 4x4 grid and powder coated spikes to be perfect.

Netting works great, will be buying more.

We're just getting started into the sheep business and the electrostop was the first fence we used (and only for awhile). To say we exceed the recommended usage is an understatement. Our "pastures" are anything but ideal... 5 foot tall canary grass... wet,rocky, lumpy ground is the norm and we don't (can't) mow paths, just try to stomp it down. We do use fiber posts between posts to keep the net from completely sagging and support the corners with step-ins. Once it's set up, it works better than it probably should. Make sure none of the hot strands are touching the metal spikes! The little 20B is all we have (the solar panel is worth it) and shocks well through the grass even though the red light sometimes doesn't flash. I test the far end of the 2nd net by touching a hot strand with a blade of grass. The only thing more impressive than the net/20B package are the hardy Katahdin and Dorper hair sheep we graze!

Our goats had no respect for the four strands of electric tape we'd put up. Even after we'd purchased a better charger they would jump through or crawl under the tape and get into our neighbor's garden. This fence was so quick and easy to install and is the only fence they respect. We purchased the two prong after our experience with the single prong fiberglass posts. The two prong is worth the extra money - much easier to install. This fence was the perfect solution for us until we can fence our whole property with permanent fencing.

I called and was told that form my area the one prong fence would work well. Well it does not. The post that go into the ground are way to flimsy. When I was finally able to get the post into the ground, it sags. So I had to put extra fence post mid way between every section.
