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.

Perfect gate for the poultry enclosure, easy to install and easy to open and shut, providing the finishing touch to the poultry fence enclosure I put up. The top brown cap has come off several times; I may end of gluing that.

I really like the convenience of this gate and am glad I got it. I have the 4’ high, 48” wide black and white version. As other reviewers have commented, it’s a good idea that could use some refinement, and the quality of the materials is not as good as the poultry nets from Premier One. Both the bottom end cap (that fits into the base) and the top handle have come off with normal use. The base is a little fiddly in terms of getting the post seated correctly. The gate also seems shorter than my 48” poultry net. The netting itself seems a little coarser and stiffer than the poultry net. I added a post in the center of the gate to keep it from sagging. Despite all of this, I’m still god I got it and look forward to new and improved versions as I build my chicken empire.

This 4 ft gate made a perfect addition to my PermaNet Plus fencing. Super easy to install, easy to get in & out of, and don't have to worry about disconnecting the electric to do so. Definitely convenient. Great product!

This gate performs a basic function, but it's a pain to use. The handle-side gets stuck in the ground anchor when you're trying to open the gate. The handle grip gets stuck on the top-cap of the anchor post has pulled it off a couple of times when I'm trying to lift the handle. All this can be pretty aggravating if you've got a bucket in one hand and are trying to get through an energized gate while it's coming apart. Altogether, not a very well-engineered product, but one I'll have to continue to use until something better becomes available.
Jennisse S from Montana
I don't know why I waited to get this! I had been climbing over the fence previously. Took me a bit to figure out how to squeeze first than pull up for one-handed operation - which still doesn't always work but still significantly more convenient than crawling over the fence or lifting up a post. Well made, no surprise there. Easy to install. I will be getting a second gate for the other side of the yard.
