Tips
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.
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 netting. We do not recommend the use of electric netting during harsh winter conditions—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.

A good friend of mine has one of these so I was familiar with them. He loves his and now that I have mine I do too. It is worth the money to have easy access to the garden area.

We are setting up an electric chicken fence for the first time. We've just turned it on for the first time today, but have had the fence set up for a few days and I've been using the fence as designed, avoiding touching the fence even though it was not live, just to get in the habit. It is easy and intuitive to open and close the gate using the large plastic handle, and is easy to stay clear of the fence wires. It is easy to operate with one hand while carrying supplies, and to get it closed securely.
It is a one-pole operation. The working pole is inserted next to a fixed pole at the non-live side of the gate. (We have our fixed pole attached to the side of the coop close to the coop door.). Both the fixed pole and working pole are set into a solid plastic base that is staked to the ground. The handle at the top of the opening pole is large and easy to grab, like a ski pole. You slide the handle up off of the fixed hole, and pull the pole out of the plastic base. After stepping through the opening, you set the pole back in the base, and slide the handle back over the fixed pole, and back down to lock. It's a smooth and natural motion.
There is a little play in the plastic base, so that if you aren't trying to carry a load through the gate, you can even just release the top, angle the pole, and step over it without removing it from the base. We're really happy with this gate.

Works great. Im loving it.

The gate was fairly easy to install, it just took some patience maybe ten to fifteen minutes to read the directions and figure out how the parts go together. I am very happy I got it, it is a good design and makes accessing the vegetable garden much easier than before and I can leave the energizer turned on inside the fenced area rather than outside where my dogs can mess with it. I tied the fiberglass posts that came with it on either side to heavy duty tree stakes. If not for that I think the posts would probably lean and fall over from constant use.

We bought a poultry fence a few months ago but the gates were out of stock. We had to pull a couple of posts up to get in. We now have a gate and are very happy to not have to do that. We are also pleased with the fence. We haven't lost a bird since putting it up and feel like we have solved our predator problems.
