Specs
Starter Kit includes:
- VersaNet® Plus 9/20/2
- 100 ft length, 20" tall electrifiable prefabricated fence. It arrives at your door as a complete roll with the single spike posts already built into the mesh/fence. Features 9 horizontal strands (8 electrified) with vertical strings placed every 2". “Plus” nets include additional line posts spaced every 6'8" to reduce sag.
- FiberTuff™ Posts
- (4) fiberglass-reinforced support posts for ends, corners and major directional changes. Use at ends to help maintain tension on the fence.
- SolarStop™ 80
- Solar powered 0.80 joule fence energizer. Will electrify 3–6 rolls of electric netting depending on soil conditions and vegetation. Includes 12V 12Ah battery, wiring harness and 10 watt solar panel.
- T Ground Rod
- Ground rods, which are an essential component of any electric fence, guide the pulse from the soil, back into the energizer. This 18" ground rod features a unique T handle, which makes it easier to grip when removing from soil.
- Fence & Battery Digital Tester
- For testing fence voltage and 12V battery voltage. At the end of the net, the voltage should measure at least 3,000V. Premier’s fence troubleshooting guide may help solve common problems.
Installation

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.
Warranty
3-year warranty for energizers and solar panels cover lightning damage and defective parts or workmanship. Should an energizer fail, we will replace the unit, bill you for the cost to do so, then reimburse you for warranted expenses after we have examined the failed unit. Misuse and flood damage are not covered.
30-day warranty for all batteries.

Keeps the critters out of the vegetable garden. As advertised!
Anthony B from Connecticut
Purchased the VersaNet Plus 9/20/3 Starter Kit to protect my garden from varmints, specifically woodchucks. The item arrived in a timely manner with no problems. The 100 foot fence went up easily and the directions were clear. However, the directions for the Solar IntelliShock 60 were not very clear. You need to know what your doing to figure out the setup. Also, it would be nice if the on/off switch was on top of the battery in a more visible location. It’s kind of a pain to get down on my hands and knees to look for the tiny green light to make sure it’s on or off. The battery tester seems to work just fine.
I have seen squirrels walk right through the fence even though the fence is energized. Can’t figure that one out. Nothing has eaten my garden since the installation so I guess it’s working. Haven’t bumped into the fence yet, so I have no comment on what the shock feels like.

Premier 1 makes a great garden fence. We love how easy it is to set up. Everything is connected for you. We bought the kit and highly recommend. Premier’s customer service is fast and friendly.
Kristi D from Connecticut
So effective and so easy to get set up and install — even by myself! (Though I am definitely going to recruit help to get it packed up and put away for winter lol!) I absolutely recommend this fence and can verify that it packs a good punch. I’ve accidentally bumped into it twice now :) No wonder it does such a good job of keeping the small critters out. Now if only there was a way to keep the moles out!
Ben R from Iowa
Nothing is more frustrating than spending the weekend gardening only to discover you’ve fed the neighborhood bunny population when you wake up the next morning. This short electric net fence solved my problem. It’s easy to step over, looks nice (green really does blend into the background), and keeps the rabbits out!
