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.

We offer many fences to fit your situation, including complete kits, different lengths, multiple colors and line posts with single or double spikes. Visit this link to compare all PermaNet options.

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.

Premier’s netting fences are great! I have 400ft. They’re durable and work well. I use this fence for my chickens and my dogs. On a couple of occasions something, probably deer, have experienced the zap and did not manage to make entry into the fence but clearly did not like it, and perhaps got tangled a little. Very little damage done to the fence. It comes with a repair kit but I have not had to use it yet. My oldest length of fence is probably at least 5 years old and still in good condition. It has stopped the raccoons and opossums from killing my flock and eating my chicken feed. I love this fence! I have solar chargers for them. They work well as long as they get a good dose of sun. They can also be plugged in, if needed, for the low sun winter days. I would say the biggest chore with this fence is keeping the grass and weeds down. I either just move the stakes and mow under them, or use some Roundup.

PermaNet Plus (12/48/3) has been our go-to for netting to protect our flock from escaping as well as to deter unwanted “guests”. I always recommend Premier 1 to folks in our poultry community groups because their products are superior to others on the market. Plus Premier’s customer service team is always very patient and helpful!

I have been a backyard chicken keeper for about 7 years. Free ranging was great for a while until every predator found out where to get a free meal. I knew absolutely nothing about an electric fence. Zero understanding. This PermaNet Plus has been a perfect solution. I started with 100 feet and just recently added 100 feet. Premier’s customer service has been amazing for answering every question I had. I have seen several foxes come up to the fence and leave. I think the can hear the electric pulse.

I bought several of these fences in the past to protect and contain chickens, provide a temporary barrier for the dog, and keep deer off of berries and fruit trees. They work great! I shift the net about every two weeks to mow the grass under it.
