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
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, netting should last 5-7 years. Replacements will be prorated.

The best part of this net is if you can lift your leg 19”, you shouldn’t have a problem getting over this net. Makes getting in and out of a “secure” garden or field easy. As many gardens have many shapes, pick up some extra posts to help with corners and curves. Ideal to have around sweetcorn patches as raccoons love the sweet tasting ears.

Great product. Sweet corn has had zero loss to raccoons since we installed this netting.

It worked. Honestly I was surprised that when the raccoons had already found the corn patch and we put up the fence, that it stopped the damage. We were able to harvest the rest of the patch. Thank you.

I used this to set up a temporary fence around a patch of sweet corn that I rotate from plot to plot in different years. The raccoons, for the first time, found and were decimating my crop. The system worked well (the netting, the solar charger). It was easy to set up. I haven't taken it down yet. This is my first year to use it, so I cannot comment on durability.
I gave it a 4 rather than 5 stars for the following reasons. It is difficult to keep the netting tight from top to bottom. Despite being tight below, it is still a bit loose above, so there is a little sagging. Still, it repels the raccoons, even though it does not look perfectly tidy. Also, given some peculiarities of my plot, I had to use a pentagonal shape rather than rectangle. I needed an additional post, but had only ordered four. I made do with an old-fashioned plastic electric fence post from a local store. Overall, based on my first season of use, without experience with winter storage and reuse in subsequent seasons, I am happy with this netting. The raccoons are repelled, and we are enjoying the corn.

I have to admit I was skeptical. We carved out a home site in the center of 50 acres of woods. Gardening has been a challenge, to say the least. Every varmint in the county got the memo about the good eats. After installing the Racoon Fence (in about 15 minutes) my garden has been untouched. I only wish I could stay awake long enough to watch the little "buggers" get zapped.
