PermaNet® Plus 12/48/3 Starter Kit
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:
- 100 ft roll of 48" PermaNet® Plus double spike electric netting
- 4 48" FiberTuff™ support posts
- Solar IntelliShock® 60 fence energizer
- Fence & Battery Digital 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)

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

- 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.
- Fence & Battery Digital 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 Fence & Battery Digital 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.

Just starting my little homestead and purchased this set up for my kunekune piglets until they are big enough to move out to a bigger pasture. Then planned to use it for my chickens to free range safely. However, love it so much that I’ve already purchased more netting to continue using for my pigs to rotate through the pasture. My only negative is that I bought the heavy duty “plus” net and that sucker is heavy. In my head, I wanted to make sure it was super durable to last me years. In reality, it would have been easier with the lighter posts for my purposes of frequent moving. I still love it and certainly do not regret it. For those that might have the same thoughts as me, you might be happier with the lighter netting. I think I’ll be setting this one up around my garden instead of using it in the pasture.

It’s everything that I hoped for. I’m glad that I went with the semi-permanent netting. The gates are a very simple addition and make access much easier. Great product! I’ll be purchasing more soon to add additional paddocks.

I bought this fencing when we moved to a rural mountain place. There are roaming dogs and wildlife and I knew my chickens would be easy prey. They also didnt know where they were so containing them was very important. The fence has kept them safe from other animals and taught them to stay in the yard. I am very happy with how long the battery stays charged. The set was worth every penny.

We love our PermaNet fence! This is our second purchase of a PermaNet electric fence. We have had our first one for over two years and it has held up very well. We are getting more chickens and needing another fence. We didn’t hesitate to order another.

It worked. In the beginning. But over time stopped working repeatedly. Called customer service 3 times with no real help. Now, my fence has dozens of holes because it hasn't worked in 3 months. And plus they want me to ship it to them on my dime to get it fixed. Not worth the price.
