PermaNet® Plus 12/48/3 Electric Netting

(2 nets on the left) Single Spike and (2 nets on the right) Double Spike posts.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (174) Read reviews »

Electrifiable perimeter fence for chicken yards or to protect gardens from small varmints and deer. For use in all seasons. Recommended for locations where the fence will not be moved often or very far. 48" tall.

Each roll is a complete fence with the posts already built into the conductive mesh. PermaNet has thicker posts with longer ground spikes than other nets. And its posts are spaced every 6'8" to reduce sag. Stronger posts withstand the effects of wind, rain, ice and snow much better than standard netting.

You will need a fence energizer to electrify the net.

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.

Benefits

Secure for a wide range of animals. PermaNet is sturdier than other nets with regular posts, but still easy to move when needed. Even for new users, it takes less than 10 minutes to go from out-of-the-box netting to installed fence.

No extra gates needed. Just turn off the energizer and pull the first post to create an opening. For added convenience, a PoultryNet® Gate can be used to provide easy access without the need to turn the energizer off.

Common Uses

Contain and control the movement of chickens, ducks and other poultry for a month or more at a time.
To prevent raccoons, foxes, opossums, coyotes, bears, dogs, skunks and other ground-based predators from attacking and killing poultry.
As a perimeter fence to exclude small critters and deer from gardens, fruit orchards, sweet corn and tree plantings.
For backyard, boundary or subdivision fences that will be moved infrequently.
Can be used to contain and control livestock other than poultry, such as sheep, goats, cattle and guard dogs.

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.

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.)

Note: Weeds must be controlled for PermaNet 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, PermaNet may not be the right net for you.

See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.

Precautions

Not effective with baby chicks that are small enough to crawl through the net openings and therefore are not deterred by the electric shock.

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.

Even though PermaNet is sturdier than other nets, extra posts may still be needed to keep the lower “hot” strands off of the ground. Weeds must be controlled for the fence to remain effective. Either move and mow as needed during the growing season, or spray herbicide along the bottom strand to kill the vegetation. If you can’t do this, PermaNet may not be the right fence for you.

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).

With PermaNet, the bottom hot wire can slip off of the plastic portion of the end posts onto the metal spikes. This will cause a dead short and no energy will be on the fence. Unhook the energizer and slide the hot wire back onto the post. Reconnect the energizer to the net and test.

Warranty

With proper care, netting should last 5-7 years. Replacements will be prorated.

It’s more of a permanent PoultryNet than it is like our other PermaNet fences. We use this netting at the Home and East Farms to keep our chickens where we want them. No predator issues thus far. Also keeps in ducks and geese (we haven’t used it with turkeys or other fowl yet). Since the net usually remains in place, we spray herbicide along the bottom to prevent vegetation growth. Otherwise grass would grow and sap energy from the fence.

This is an excellent fence that has exceeded our expectations. It is very simple to set-up and move, can easily be done by one person. The entire fence is well made and very sturdy. We highly recommend this fence!

Great product. I have several of premiers goat fencing and I needed smaller holes so my young chickens could walk thru the fence (not chicks). It is worth it for us to go with the semi permanent since we are slowly installing permanent fence on our property and using this for years to move our animals around. The poles are very sturdy, being closer together does help with sagging. Happy with another well built premier product!

Gave the product 4 stars due to the poor instructions that came with it and the energizer. Fortunately I have some experience with these types of systems and was able to figure everything out, but the verbiage and pictures leave a lot to be desired. I would rather know what each piece is for rather than guess what something "must" be for. Otherwise, good product.

LOVE my netting, I have the DS PermaNet Plus, I couldn't be happier, it is easy to move and pretty durable. ONLY one time did an angry bull decide to attack my PRS100 charger and disconnect it from the fence. The goats and sheep couldn't help but chew on the fence. FORTUNATELY the rolls come with a repair kit!!!! I have moved mine by myself MANY TIMES, I had to block my cattle from accessing the road when KY AM Water company washed out my corner fencing, I have used it to block off access from downed black cherry trees until I could remove them from the property. I have just ordered more to have as back up for the state's destructive highway plan, forcing me to endure 1.5 miles of new interstate road frontage, I have NO FEAR, the energizer and a few extra hundred feet of PermaNet Plus have my back when the cars come crashing my fence.
I have 400' around a chicken nursery for the young birds and use it as a barrier for the young lambs and kids in the spring, so far NO predators have gotten my birds - other than migratory predatory birds, and I figure I can tithe to them, they only get a few girls each year. Overall - I love my netting!!!
