PermaNet® Plus 12/48/3 Starter Kit

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (13) Read reviews »

Contain and protect your chickens in the backyard or on the pasture with this complete fence system. Effective for all types of poultry. Also useful as a perimeter fence to exclude small critters and deer from gardens, fruit orchards and tree plantings. Choose this kit if you plan to move the fence one per season (or less often.) 48" tall.

The mesh portion of PermaNet® is exactly the same as PoultryNet®. But it has stronger, larger posts—each with longer, larger steel ground spikes. That enables it to resist sagging and withstand the effects of wind, rain, ice and snow much better than normal netting. It’s a “less worries” option.

Starter kit includes these essentials:

Benefits
Starter kit contains all the essentials to fence a small flock of birds.

Effective as a semi-permanent boundary or subdivision fence. Can also be used for sheep, goats and other livestock.

Electric netting is quick to install, durable and adaptable to dips and curves in difficult terrain.

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 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.

Specs

Starter kit includes:

  • 100 ft roll of 48" PermaNet® Plus double spike electric netting creates a 25' x 25' enclosure.
  • 4 48" FiberTuff™ support posts
  • Solar IntelliShock® 60 fence energizer with U-Spike ground stake (combination ground rod and support stand) and wiring harness.
  • 5-Light Wireless Fence Tester

PermaNet® Plus 12/48/3 is a 48" electrifiable prefabricated fence. It arrives at your door as a complete roll with the double spike posts already built into the mesh/fence. Features 12 horizontals strands (11 electrified) with vertical struts placed every 3". “Plus” nets include additional line posts spaced every 6'8" to reduce sag. Add 3 more rolls of item #207100 to create a 100' x 100' enclosure.

FiberTuff™ Posts provide additional support around curves, corners and other major directional changes. Use at end posts to help maintain tension on the fence.

The Solar IntelliShock® 60 fence energizer will electrify 3-5 rolls of electric netting depending on soil conditions and vegetation.

Use the 5-Light Wireless Fence Tester to determine if your fence system is working properly. At the end of the net, the approximate voltage should measure at least 3,000V.

Installation
Consult the linked products or watch the videos above for installation instructions.

Precautions
PermaNet is 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.

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 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.

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

2-year warranty for energizers and solar panels cover lightning damage and defective parts or workmanship. Should an energizer fail, we will replace the unit, bill you for the cost to do so, then reimburse you for warranted expenses after we have examined the failed unit. Misuse and flood damage are not covered.

30-day warranty for all batteries.

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… Read More » sap energy from the fence.

This product was great. The posts were better than the other ones.

The feedback we wanted to offer has to do with the instructional booklet for the solar power and battery. The “U spike” mounts the battery into the ground for stability. No ground rod was included. The instructions state and show the black ground clip going off into space, they do not state to clip to “U spike” but only say “connect to the ground”! Really?!? Read and edit your instructions please! They are terrible!! The fencing is great so far. Concerned that this entire week of rain will deplete the battery. No information on the longevity of the battery either.

Want the goats to clear some brush and would like to be able to use the fence in areas where I am unable to mow first

I would recommend the starter kit to everyone who is a beginner with poultry, like us. The kit contains everything necessary. The buying experience online was very good and the kit arrived very quickly in perfect condition. Everything seemed set to work perfectly. Our only two suggestions for improvement would be: a) The user manual. On the electric part the pictures are black and white and dark, too dark to see anything. Drawings would be a lot better. The other part shows obvious things but not some tricky one, like connecting the ground. Still not sure if we are connecting the ground right as we are getting the lowest voltage. b) The ground rod, which is an inverted U under the battery. Our soil is very gravely and it is very hard to put it in deeper than two inches. We would prefer a very thin stick instead.

I bought the permanent plus kit for chickens (12/48/3) to set up around a mobile coop for a new flock of laying hens. I researched several types of fencing before buying and have not been disappointed. The initial set up of the fence and charger only took about 30 minutes. Charger worked at full power right away. We live on a farm with wooded areas and predators everywhere so we needed a secure fence for protection. Only a few comments on the directions; please include better info on troubleshooting. We had issues with low output on the second day & I was unable to resolve it intil I went to your website to review additional info on the e-net. I inadvertently stepped in the end post pulling the lowest white strand down to touch the metal spike on the bottom. Having better info in the directions for set-up would have helped. After remedying the problem fence has worked flawlessly. One comment on the fence charger, adding a rubber gasket to the tightening knobs would help keep them tight and the solar panel in place. I have arthritic hands and am unable to manage this. Otherwise, I love this product and plan to expand in the future.
