Twist Butler
Product Details
A clever reel system for rolling up and unwinding electric nets. The Twist Butler helps you install or store netting quickly and easily—without an extra set of hands!
Benefits:
- Fits one roll of netting (up to 164')
- Two heights available: for 42" and 48" tall nets
- Quick to wind and unwind
- Tangle-free compact storage
- Removable crank handle for use across multiple spools
For folks that struggle with taller nets, or for those that don’t move their fences often, the Twist Butler is a convenient alternative to the tried-and-true “fold and then roll” method.
Common Uses
- For setting up fences in small paddocks (1–2 rolls of netting)
- As a backyard helper for poultry runs
- Prevents tangles; plastic base keeps spikes organized
- For easier handling in brushy, brambly areas
Specs
- Fits most rolls of electric netting (up to 164')
- 12" dia, HDPE plastic base
- Removable handle
- 0.8" dia aluminum shaft
- Two heights available:
- Twist Butler, for 42" nets: 56" tall
- Twist Butler, for 48" nets: 58" tall
Common Questions
- I’m a professional livestock grazier, is the Twist Butler for me?
- Maybe. Folks who routinely move their fences through the woods, or in brushy, brambly areas have told us they prefer using a vertical winder vs. dragging the net behind them. It’s a little slower than the tried-and-true “fold and then roll” method, but the advantage of working in a narrow lane is significant.
It’s also a handy backyard tool for those new to electric net fences, as well as for users with small hands.

We’ve long recommended the “fold and then roll” method when moving nets. It requires no tools, and rolls end up much like they began—with all the posts on outside and the folds of net rolled up inside.
But we also know many folks use only one or two rolls. E.g. backyard poultry keepers who don’t often move their runs and are using taller, more cumbersome nets (42"–48"). For this, the Twist Butler offers a small convenience. It’s a clever way to wind-up the netting while keeping the spikes organized to reduce tangling.
For those moving nets daily or weekly in clean pastures, you’re likely to find the Twist Butler more trouble than it’s worth.

Definitely not for double spike post nets. You need a 3rd hand to keep lifting the net up above the spikes, as it can't wrap evenly top to bottom over them. Also difficult to work with on a 48" tall net. I'm short, so it's taller than me. Waste of money.

Works pretty good, I don’t think I have the hang of it yet (the netting keeps spinning down onto the base). MUCH better than trying to lay down 100' of chicken fence and lug it around!

This Twist Butler is great! It makes putting up and down the netting easy by myself. It keeps it from tangling and easily goes around obstacles. It’s money well spent.

Works great to collect fence. Saves a tangled mess. Wish every woven fence was shipped on a twister. It would make installation so much easier.

We use net fencing for 5 pigs and move it along overgrown tree lines on our property. My husband and I together would struggle to move the fencing (which works great separately too). Given the fence type, it is easy for it to get tangled or snagged. My husband kept asking me to buy this and I finally did. He says it’s a 10/10, and worth every penny. It is an absolute life saver, especially if you are moving the fence alone, or moving it along overgrown areas where the fence can easily get snagged. Great product!
