Pig QuikFence® 6/30/12

Single Spike posts.
Single Spike posts.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (116) Read reviews »

A portable electric fence designed to keep “free range” pastured pigs in. The bottom strand is suspended 6" above the ground to prevent pigs from rooting soil onto the fence.

Put your pigs to work by using their rooting and foraging instincts to your benefit. Selectively till gardens, pastures, woodlots or just about anywhere else on the farmstead. Once a section is tilled, it’s easy to take down the fence and move the pigs to their next job site.

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 multiple lengths with different post spacings, drivable line posts and positive/negative options for dry soils. Visit this link to compare all Pig QuikFence options.

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.

See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.

Precautions
Experience tells us that domestic pigs must be trained to electric fence. Failing to do so can be expensive—in damage to the fence plus the damage the escaped pigs might create. Inexperienced pigs may decide to respond like pigs—and charge forward through the fence instead of backing away.

To train, set up Pig QuikFence® fence alongside (1 to 2 ft away) a secure permanent fence that the pigs can’t get through. Make sure the netting is electrified—at least 3000V at the end of the fence. Introduce the pigs to the fence and monitor for a few hours.

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.

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).

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

A nice feature of this net is the lowest strand is high enough off the ground to avoid most contact from weeds and sticks. And pigs have a hard time burying the strand when they are rooting near it. Pigs can quickly till the soil, so expect to move the fence and pigs often.

We are raising our first pigs this year and were worried about escapes. We put this fence up very
easily, herded the pigs in and voila! They got shocked a couple times each, settled down to digging and haven't gone near it since. This is a great product and we will be getting more sections.

Just put the fence up yesterday and within 10 minutes of it being on, three of them escaped under the bottom. I didn't see how the did it but believe the were trying to escape, got shocked and scooted forward. Caught them with the helpof my premier poultry netting and put them back in the fence. So far they have been zapped a bunch and they haven't got out again. I think they will learn to respect it and will stay a long ways away from the fence.

Perfect combination of physical and psychological barriers for containing pigs. I had tried and failed multiple times to contain our 3 Berkshires with more traditional electric fencing. QuikFence was their last chance at being pasture pigs. They haven't escaped once from the QuikFence, even the short periods when it's been turned off. Just ordered another section. Money well spent. Thank you Premier1.

This is the best purchase we've made in a long time! We initially ordered 1- 100' fence to try it out. It has exceeded our expectations and we will be ordering at least 2-3 more! It literally takes less than 10 minutes to move it.

I could not immediately locate the directions for the fence. So, I jumped right and into installing the fence and felt enromously frustrated. Ironically, when later I did the directions, they said that many people feel they don't need the directions and cause unncessary frustration. Agreed. Love the product, working well now 10 days in...but please make the directions easier to locate.
