Electric Netting
Author: Kent 
Date:   04-21-14 13:27

Considering using netting for goats in some brushy remote areas. The terrain is hilly in places with lots of crooks and bends. Because of the location and the conditions I need a net that is sturdy and reliable but can be moved . I anticipate moving some fences on average about once every month to two months. Would the ElectroFence Plus or PermaNet Plus be more suited to the task? Thanks!

The ElectroNet Plus would be a better choice. Make sure to use support post on the corners to help keep the netting pulled tight and upright. We use the PermaNet for areas that the netting will be up for months at a time. Just make sure to mow a path. This will keep the weeds and branches off the netting. Also test the fence for a reading of 3000 volts or more. You may need extra post for the hills and bends.

Based upon your response, what do you consider to be the differences between the two nets you described and what makes the ElectroFence the better choice?

On the ElectroNet Plus the posts are 6.8 feet apart. Size of post is .51" with spikes at 6" long. This will give better support and has plastic struts that go up and down to help keep the fence upright. Best for hilly areas.
The PermaNet is for if you would like to leave the fence up for long time. The posts are spaced 12.5 feet apart with .71" post and spikes are 7" long. The white, string struts go up and down.

I suggest using the ElectroNet if moving the fence every few months.
