PermaNet® Plus 12/48/3 Starter Kit
Product Details
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. 48" tall.
Choose this kit if you plan to move the fence one per season (or less often.)
The mesh portion of PermaNet® is exactly the same as PoultryNet® Plus. 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 48" PermaNet® Plus, double spike electric netting
- (4) 48" FiberTuff™ support posts
- SolarStop™ 80 fence energizer
- T Ground Rod, 18"
- 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)

Benefits
Netting is quick and simple to move. Even for new users, it takes less than 10 minutes to go from out-of-the-box netting to installed fence.
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:
- PermaNet® Plus 12/48/3
- 100 ft length, 48" tall 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 strings placed every 3". “Plus” nets include additional line posts spaced every 6'8" to reduce sag.
- FiberTuff™ Posts
- (4) fiberglass-reinforced support posts for ends, corners and major directional changes. Use at ends to help maintain tension on the fence.
- SolarStop™ 80
- Solar powered 0.8 joule fence energizer. Will electrify 3-5 rolls of electric netting depending on soil conditions and vegetation. Includes one 12V 12Ah battery, wiring harness and 10 watt glass solar panel with built-in overcharge regulator.
- T Ground Rod
- Ground rods, which are an essential component of any electric fence, guide the pulse from the soil, back into the energizer. This 18" ground rod features a unique T handle, which makes it easier to grip when removing from soil.
- Fence & Battery Digital Tester
- For testing fence voltage and 12V battery voltage. At the end of the net, the voltage should measure at least 3,000V. Premier’s fence troubleshooting guide may help solve common problems.

Tips
An electric fence does NOT have to make a circle. You can overlap the fences or make a U-turn.
Visit this link for answers to other common fencing questions.
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 posts 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
3-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.

This fence works well for our goats and chickens. The dogs have learned to respect it too. The solar power works well, and the fence is quite sturdy. I can move it by myself but it is, as the rep said, a little heavy. I'm glad I got the gate to go with it, but I don't need the gate to get in and out of the fence.

Outstanding product, easy installation, and TOP NOTCH customer service! I followed the simple installation instructions and videos but I was not seeing the proper voltage on my netting. I called Premier 1 (on a Saturday morning) and got a live person! No frustrating phone tree button pushing or call transfers, just a lovely woman who knew the product well enough to instantly identify my problem. Even though I double checked my work, I trapped a single line of the netting when I stepped in the support uprights causing the entire fence to short to ground. The Premier 1 rep quickly recognized my problem and walked me through fixing it. She even stayed on the line as I hiked out to the barn (I called from in my house a quarter mile away). I'd definitely but from Premier 1 again simply for the customer support and professional business practices. Great job Premier 1 team!

I set this up around our enclosed coop for night time predator control of ground based predators. The fence is very sturdy and does ok in our windy weather. I am happy knowing our birds won't get nabbed in their sleep any longer. I plan on expanding this and using it to electrify additional nets to rotate grazing areas during the daytime.
I am very satisfied with ease of use and study construction of both the netting and the IntelliShock S60.

Very concise instructions for installation. easy to install, I managed 200 feet on my own in under an hour. Will definately purchase more in the future.

The fence came in just as stated and after watching the video on how to set it up, it went up easily. I did get confused with the solar panel instructions but after seeing the video, it made sense. Love the fence and definitely would recommend it.
