Twist Butler
Product Details
New! 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: 51" 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.

I love the Twist Butler! I use my fence through woods so the goats can eat the underbrush. It was always very difficult to set up the fence and take it down since I couldn't lay it down. The Twist Butler made it so easy. I am really sorry that I did not discover this a year ago!
