VersaNet® Plus 9/20/2 Electric Netting
Easy-to-use (and move!) garden and critter fence. Line posts are already built into the fence and can be inserted and removed by hand without tools. Hand tension is all that is required. 20" tall installed.
Key features:
- Very close mesh spacing. Lowest energized horizontal strands are 2" apart and the verticals only 2" apart.
- It’s short. So it’s easy to install and remove. Also, most adults can easily step over it.
- Highly adaptable. Like all of Premier’s nets, they almost self-adjust to irregular shapes, curves, corners, etc.
- VersaNet® Plus has line posts every 6.8 ft. More posts means less sag and a more versatile fence.
- Two colors available:
- White & Black — Most visible. Use when aesthetics are less important.
- Green & Black — Less visible. Use where aesthetics are important and there is less likelihood of contact by uninformed human visitors.
New to electric fence? Premier’s Starter Kits may be a good choice. They include netting, extra support posts, a solar fence energizer, ground stake and a digital tester. Already have an energizer? Choose a netting kit instead.

Benefits
End posts act as built-in gates—just disconnect the power and remove an end post to make an opening.
Easier to step over and costs less per ft than 30" VersaNet Plus.

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.
Ensure the net is at least 2" away from anything metal (e.g. T-posts, existing wire fences, spikes on support posts, etc.)
See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.
Common Questions
- Does VersaNet® stop squirrels?
- A properly energized fence (3000V or more) will keep most unwanted varmints out, but we can’t promise good results with lightweight critters such as squirrels and chipmunks. Squirrels are cunning; they often jump onto the fence without making any ground contact. Without good foot-to-soil contact, they won’t receive a memorable shock. (This is also why birds can perch on power lines without being electrocuted.)
- I have more length than I need. What should I do with the excess?
- An electric fence does NOT have to make a circle. You can overlap the fences or make a U-turn.
100' of netting creates a 25' x 25' enclosure. Add additional rolls if you need to protect a larger area. At each end of the net is a built-in, stainless-steel male/female clip. Slide these clips together to make a connection.

Precautions
Netting must be moved when tall grass covers the lower “hot” strands. The alternative? Apply a strip of herbicide to reduce green 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 fencing. Ice and heavy snow can flatten netting and thereby damage it.
Dry or frozen ground may cause posts 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 possible, separate the fence into sections. Then progressively reconnect, checking voltage as you go. When the voltage drops, you’ve identified the section with the problem. Listen for snapping sounds. This occurs when a conductor is close to a grounded wire, metal objects, fallen branches, or other green vegetation causing a “short”. Shorts cause fence voltage to collapse and allow animals to touch the fence without feeling pain.

I tried everything to keep raccoons and/or possums out of my grapes. Chicken wire around the trellises, bird netting over the top, steel traps, mouse traps, rat traps, live traps (i did catch one possum with this one). Nothing worked, every day, more and more fresh, ripened grape skins were on the ground. In fact, they completely cleaned out my neighbors grapes for the 2023 season and I was on the way to the same outcome.
I read about electric fences but had no idea there was a product like this one that was like a net. Not a single grape has been taken by any animal since I set this fence up!
I have never had any experience with an electric fence but the entire process was way easier than I thought it would be. It took about 30 min to set up and works perfectly. I bought a power source and tester from the local farmstore, but Premier’s fence is amazing. I have video of possums and raccoons touching the fence at night and jumping back. I love this product!
Joseph K from New York
I have been ordering from Premier 1 Supplies for years to protect my gardens from all the wildlife that roam in upstate New York and have never had any varmints enter my gardens. All their products are top shelf and I’ve never had any bad experiences. I will always order from Premier. Great company!
Lenny H from Indiana
Used this fence to keep our free range chickens and wild bunnies out of our garden. We haven’t had any issues since we installed it.
Lee P from Missouri
Excellent fence, easy to install, and works great keeping the rabbits out of my garden.
Nick S from Maine
This has kept the woodchucks out of my vegetable garden for years. Now I wish Premier could develop a feature to keep the landscape mowers from running into the fence!
