PoultryNet® and PoultryNet® Plus 12/42/3 Kits

Netting Kit includes:
- 164 ft roll of 42" PoultryNet or 100 ft roll of 42" PoultryNet Plus.
- (4) 42" FiberTuff™ support posts.
Complete Kit:
- 42" PoultryNet® Plus Starter Kit—Contains netting, energizer, support posts and fence & battery digital tester.
Diagram & Accessories 
Benefits
No extra gates needed. Just turn off the energizer and pull the first post to create an opening. For added convenience, a PoultryNet® Gate can be used to provide easy access without the need to turn the energizer off.
PoultryNet “Plus” is identical to standard 42" PoultryNet, but to help with sagging, we’ve added more posts to shorten the distance between them (6'8" vs. 12'). More posts means less sag and a more versatile fence which adapts easily to curves and hills.
Double spike posts are more stable in soft soils.
Common Uses
- Contain and control the movement of chickens, ducks and other poultry on a daily or weekly basis.
- Prevent raccoons, coyotes, foxes, dogs and other predators from killing poultry.
- Rotate poultry to fresh grass as a food source and to reduce disease risks.
- Keep small flocks in the backyard. When managed well, chickens are an indispensable garden tool—turning pesky insects and weeds into rich compost.
- Can be used to contain and control livestock other than poultry, such as goats.
Specs
Netting kit includes:
- 100 or 164 ft roll of 42" PoultryNet or PoultryNet Plus single spike or double spike electric netting.
- 4 42" FiberTuff™ support posts.
PoultryNet 12/42/3 is a 42" electrifiable prefabricated fence. It arrives at your door as a complete roll with the single spike or double spike posts already built into the mesh/fence. Features 12 horizontals strands (11 conductive) with vertical strings placed every 3". “Plus” nets include additional line posts spaced every 6'8" to reduce sag. Add more rolls for a larger 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.
Installation
See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.
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.
Troubleshooting
With PoultryNet, the bottom hot wire can slip off of the plastic portion of the end posts onto the metal spikes. This will cause a dead short and no energy will be on the fence. Unhook the energizer and slide the hot wire back onto the post. Reconnect the energizer to the net and test.

Was able to get my fence from the Post office 121418. It was easy to setup. Have connected the electic yet however large enough for the 108 flock, they are so happy now. Must turn on fence and clip wings. Thank you premier1 we are a happy family now.
Melody W from Ohio
Needed to contain my flock but give them freedom to run and forage. Was fairly easy to install and does exactly what I wanted.
Virginia T from Florida
easy to put up ...additional support posts do not help tighten fence or support it on corners theyre for help with sagging of mesh between built in supports. I did not use them at all but secured fencing to a wooden post at one end .They do not go into the ground securely enough to do a corner or hold an end in place at all . That being said the integrated posts are very secure and go into the ground and hold the fence fairly tight. If you're looking for a nice moveable easy to install fence this is it!!
Damien M from Virginia
I like Premier1 products a lot and overall I am happy with this purchase, but there is too much fence between the support posts and mine sags a lot. I am glad it came with corner posts because I used them to support the middle of some sections and ended up buying other fencing posts to hold up other sections in the middle. Its a good product but it sags.
Nancy G from Florida
It's wonderful! I don't worry about the girls as much, knowing they are in a very secure area. I also love the access gate which was purchased separately.
Thank you so much for all of your help, with both of my orders.
