These are easy to use Electric Netting Kits that are quick and easy to set up; it includes everything you need to to create a safe and secure pen for your poultry.
This kit is designed as much in mind to keep the foxes out as to keep your chickens in. Foxes don't tend to take a running jump at a fence. They will more often 'stalk' the fence and perhaps test it from a few points for weakness.
Occasionally, a fox might try to climb a fence or even jump to the top in order to have a look over the other side... All of these behaviour patterns help make electric fencing and electrified netting in particular, very effective. Although not part of the kit, many of our customers suggest the addition of our Fence Line Indicator Lamp to increase the level of deterrent.
The netting kits are easy to set up. First strim the grass where your netting is to be positioned then unroll the net and push the posts, which are already attached to the netting, firmly into the ground. Use the twine that tied the netting during transit to tie the first and last posts together. The bottom line of netting isn't live, so once the net is in place, check carefully along the entire net for any lumps and bumps in the ground that are creating gaps that an animal could get under. Use the short stakes provided to firmly fix the bottom line in these areas to close the gap. Extra posts are also provided for the corners and also for wherever the netting needs additional support i.e. wherever it is sagging, or on particularly rough or exposed ground. These posts should be woven in and out through the net at these points and the top and bottom line of the net and can make a huge difference. Finally, additional pegs are provided for use in the corners to help keep the top line tight, much like a guy line on a tent, fix the lines about half way up the corner posts and then peg into the ground. The energiser and earth spike/s should then be connected to the netting as per instructions provided with the energiser.
