Use PermaNet® for sites that have installation problems for permanent wire fences (hills, rocks, curves, trees, no machine access). It keeps sheep and goats in and predators out. Can stop a wide range of animals.
How does it compare to our temporary nets (ElectroNet® and ElectroStop®, etc?)
- It’s taller, 48"—therefore more reliable.
- Designed to be left in one place for months or years. For this it has stronger, heavier, larger PVC posts with longer, thicker, steel spikes. The result is better support through wind, rain, ice and snow.
- It’s a very good conductor (low electrical resistance). This is critical as weed contact may become heavy.
- Supplied in many lengths—to enable users to buy the right length for each situation.

Installation
Tip: When using Pos/Neg fencing, a PowerLink (see Accessories) is recommended to attach the negative lead to the ground rod.
See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.
Common Questions
- Will PermaNet® 10/48/6 contain poultry?
- No. Because of the 6" wide spacings, this PermaNet® will NOT contain chickens. For chickens, we recommend 42" or 48" tall electric netting with 3" wide spacings.
- How easy is PermaNet® to install?
- We suggest installing PermaNet® with two people. Why? Because of its extra weight and longer posts.
It can be handled, installed and removed by one person, but having another person on each end of the posts doubles the productivity and makes it easier for both.
Pushing or stepping posts into the soil is still a one-person task. And so is pulling the posts out of the soil. But these tasks take more effort because the spikes are both larger and longer. (After all, it doesn’t work to have a strong, well-supported post without large and long spikes.)
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. 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.

Listed below are recommended optional components. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our fence consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

As always, a great product! This will add to our fencing abilities to graze our goats. It's tough enough to keep the bears, deer, and an occasional loose dog out, and our goats and LGD's in. We've used the double spike only as it provides a better stability in our sloped/hilly location. Though it is a pain to move in our forest and brush areas, the security it provides is well worth it. We only use the white as it can be seen at a greater distance, therefore we can see problem areas that may have sagged due to tree limb fall or where wildlife may have encountered the fence. We train all of our goats to it from the very beginning, wetting the ground within 2ft. of the fence and making sure the goats contact the fence. It only takes once or twice, and never a problem. We have Anatolian Shepherd guardians and they respect the fence, and have not tried to jump it in the 3 years we have used it, though they have been provoked to do so. We will never buy another product other than Premier!

I have used the single spiked PremaNet for years. Was not sure If I wanted to spend the extra money for the double spike type.
I bought three more rolls last month and thought I would try one roll of the double spike.
In my dry clay soil I would have to drive the posts in with a rubber mallet in late summer.
With all of my adjusting it took me about an hour to set up the two rolls of single spike, over Labor day weekend.
The double spike went up in 15 min. gave each post one good tap with the mallet after stepping them in.
Will buy nothing else in the future.

We're using this netting to protect our Katahdin sheep from the local dogs. It's working so well we're buying two more rolls. We have sandy soil here, and the double spikes work perfectly, provided there is grass holding the soil together. Have not had to water the ground, even though it gets quite dry in July and August, with the five light fence testing providing some degree of confidence. The netting is easy to setup, even when working alone.

I have Mini Nubian dairy goats and purchased this fence to keep the bucks out of the does. Training was difficult as I had a buck completely wind himself in the netting. He survived because we heard the screaming and ran out to deal with it. He and our second buck are now respecting it. Due to our presently extremely dry conditions I am hosing down the grounding rod every few days. I am pleased with this product and will continue to buy it. My only complaint is one of my double prong welds failed and popped off during installation. I will be careful and be sure the ground is wetter and softer the next time I install or move this style of fencing. This fencing is a very good value for the money and easy to use for this unskilled hobby farmer. We use it for both goats and horses.

Purchased PermaNet Electric Netting @ a friend's advice. I LOVE IT!! It was easy to put up and so far it's kept in our 9 baby goats. They had been escaping daily from their old 4 ft fenced in area. After installing the fence, and electrifying it, we waited around to make sure no one got caught in the netting if they decided to make a "break" for it. Each of them had a shock or two, but now that they know the boundaries they stay away from the fence. We are kind of of worried about the weeds growing up to the bottom electric wire. It mentioned in the instructions that it is very important to keep the weeds down. Time will tell if that becomes a problem. We did use weed killer around the perimeter of the fence.
