The rain itself does not interfere with the net. However, every blade of grass/weed that touches the net takes away a little bit of energy. When the grass is wet (dew or rain) it takes away more energy because the moisture is such a good conductor. That is why it is important to keep the grass/weeds to a minimum with any electric fence. If there is just some grass on the fence, then most energizers can handle the 'drain' and still have enough power to deter the animals.
If you don't want to spray herbicides, then you will need to move the net periodically and mow underneath of it. How often will depend on the grass growth rate- spring and early summer you may need to move it every 1-3 weeks. Later in the year when it slows down you may only have to move it 1 a month. wrote:
