PermaNet® Plus 12/48/3 Starter Kit
New! Contain and protect your chickens in the backyard or on the pasture with this complete fence system. Choose this kit if you plan to move the fence one per season (or less often.) Effective for all types of poultry. 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:
- 100 ft roll of 48" PermaNet® Plus double spike electric netting
- 4 48" FiberTuff™ support posts
- Solar IntelliShock® 60 fence energizer
- 5-Light Wireless Fence Tester
Other Starter Kits:
- 42" PoultryNet® Plus—move fence daily/weekly with heavy breeds (e.g. Orpingtons and Wyandottes)
- 48" PoultryNet® Plus—move fence daily/weekly with light or flighty breeds (e.g. Leghorns and Buttercups)

Benefits
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
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.
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
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.

I lost 25 chickens to a wily fox in the first two years on my farm. In some cases, there were three fences between the chickens and it..... with heavy board, mesh, a lower electrified strand and one on top. Bought the kit with the solar Intellishock 60 and permanet that is not moved often, 48 inches tall. I have 20 chickens and some ducks and have not lost one bird since March when I installed the fence. The solar Intellishock charger is extremely reliable and easy to install. The birds quickly learned to avoid the fence. So did all the predators. So did I !! I am sold. We are expanding our poultry operation soon and this fencing will be my go to. I have thousands of feet of board fencing with four inch mesh and electric lines above and below. This will not stop chicken and duck predators. Go for the Premier Poultry net. You will not be disappointed. I will be a life long customer!!

I will let this short video clip speak for this fence. The first night my chicks were place in their new coop they had a visitor. He tried, but this Solar IntelliShock® 60 sent this Predator a clear message. Watch closely.

This product is shockingly high quality, effective, and durable. I needed an inexpensive fence for my dogs, and my brother suggested Premier 1 Supplies. I looked at all the relevant options and found this product to be just what I needed: 100' of electric netting and an energizer. The solar panel charger for the energizer made running electricity 200' from the nearest source unnecessary, and works great with minimal sunlight. It took a moderate amount of work to install the fence and energizer, but the instructions were very clear and the installation straightforward. I had to move one end of the fence half an inch away from the chain link fence next to it to inhibit discharging, but after that it worked great and my dogs will not come within feet of the fence. If I am wearing shoes and touch the fence, it only gives me a mild shock, but if I touch the ground or anything that is grounded, I have an extremely shocking experience.

Pretty amazing! First time purchase for our chickens very kool, easy set up and works perfect. Purchased because my abundant permaculture site with Justin Rhodes swears premier1 is #1 and so far we agree. Rec our netting set real quick and it's spot on terrific. We are purchasing another roll tonight and will be purchasing more.
