Electric Poultry Netting Explained..How does it work? Is it worth the $$$...Will it hold the Goats? 

Josh, if I lived a little closer, I’d be down there helping you with your chores. Because a appreciate all you do my friend!

Love your videos, I just received 100 ft starter kit of the 42 inch plus another 100 ft roll of the green and black for next summers garden. It is 65 by 35 ft. I am going to put a t post about 2 ft back from each corner then run a single electric line about 5 ft high tied in to the premier fence with the connector clips. I have been using reg wire chicken netting 2 ft high for years. Have problems with dogs and rabbits getting in my garden and the 5 ft electric strand has worked great for years. But what a pain rolling out that chicken wire. Can not wait to use next year with the new solar charger. Now the critters will be zapped 24/7. Will have to get use to turning off charger , do not want to be a victim myself. Keep up the great videos. Rick Brown Frederick MD

That poultry net has a problem with grounding due to growing groundcover... My suggestion is add some cardboard under the netting on the mowed perimeter for more insulation. BTW, my suggestion is to add a light to the system that you can see both day and night so you can visually check if the fence is on. This can eliminate accidental shocks AND can help at night when you walk by and notice the power is off so you can fix it before the goats get out or the coyotes get in.

I purchased 4 rolls of 100' each plus a 8' gate and put it up by myself. I did take my lawn mower (raised the blades) to cut the grass to be less than 4". I unrolled the fence and laid it on the ground and then started putting the stakes in the ground. I do recommend the 48' over the 42" and if you can get the stakes closer together like 6-7' that really does work better to prevent sagging. I am out in the country, and I am trying to keep the coyotes out and my chickens in and so far, so good. My cats took a bit to figure out that the fence is live. I am using the solar electric version on low during the day and on high at night.

Love the goats. I had goats in the past. I would feed every afternoon. I would feed just shell corn. One scoop was all it took. My goats could walk through my fence anytime. But would always be home at feeding time. Good luck, I like the goat fence

Very funny at end with go stuck!! I laughed so hard. Thanks for videos!! Found field wire works best for goats.

from what ive seen that stuff is great!....if you want to do it solo..you unroll it flat on the ground all the way..and then step the posts in as you go(from what ive seen on youtube)...good luck with them..

I believe that mole you caught is actually a shrew.

Best part of this video was you showing your Swiss Army knife!! I have one with several useful tools that I use daily!! My friends who “like knives” think it’s worthless until they don’t have ANY of the tools I’ve got. If you’re reading this, go buy the deluxe right now and keep up with it better than your wallet. You’re welcome.

electronet is great. been using it for 10 years at least. you need fiber posts for your corners. it will make the fence much more solid.

I got two 150 foot for my garden and Wow I love mine!!!! premire One yessss

This fence works well in good weather. But ice and snow cause issues with keeping it up and anything inside of it. And you do have to take the charger in the house and charge it up if you have several days with little sun.

Good stuff!!!

Very informative video. You are lucky to have a neighbor like Poncho! So, after 5 years are you still using this and have you ever used it in wooded areas?

So if you you will stretch it out FIRST around the entire perimeter where you want it, then put both end poles in the ground, you can install it by yourself AND it takes out any guess work. Just stretch and put the poles in the ground as you go! Viola! But you get a 👍🏻 from me for the great review and the mole. Lol 😘

Great video

We used a 5-gallon bucket with feed in it to call the goats. Easier for them to hear from across the pasture than the sacks the feed comes in.

With the solar juice box does it hold enough charge to keep fence hot over night ?

Thanks..Your so entertaining

Ive been using these for almost ten year.. well 8 at least. I can't remember when we bought the first one. We now own like twenty to thirty lengths (a few don't work because my hubs hit them with the tractor or weedwacker *facepalm*. To keep the elk and larger predators like bear away from our animals: we hooked them up to a VERY strong charger that us usually used for large cattle. We run eight fences strung together which we move around to rotate. It works VERY VERY well and it isn't hard to move. We did however replace the posts with MUCH stronger ones with these neat loops and 'stoping pads' at the bottom that make getting then in and out of the ground much easier.. THAT makes a HUGE difference.

Hello, I'm wondering if I need to close out the hot wire loop for it to work? I ran a straight line poly and connected it to my Gallagher s16 hot connector. The box is showing blinking green light, but I am not getting any juice. Any advice? Thank you

Love the Whoooo. At the beginning of this video. And the guitar. Hi from Australia. And this video was helpful in me Makin a decision to buy an electric fence. We have wild dogs in the bush in Australia. They come into our small town apparently at night. In packs. I want to ensure if I invest in chickens. They’ll survive.

Thanks 😊

Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

I'm curious what you think on the ideal partition size (per day, etc) for rotation grazing with these portable fences? Are you setting it up for like 1 day, or 2 day grazing in one spot then move the fence and how would you calculate how big this needs to be? And how often does an animal get through this kind of fencing, either by jumping or, panicking and going forward instead of backward? Are the portable fences actually stable enough to use long term? You look like you are actually having fun. A lot of people don't understand this. But I don't understand why they all want to be captives in the city where they have no rights; that's more 'fun' right than being able to do whatever you want?

Prices sure have gone up. :( Our electric netting should arrive this week and sheep next. I’ll have to search your channel for a video about hooking up the electrical. Thanks!

you can do it with one person. Roll it open flat on the ground all the way around. Go back to the beginning and stand each post up and plant, and onto the next.

"Show Dogs" I wonder what brought that analogy to mind? :-) 5' 2X4 wire. Never had a goat get out but of course I did not fence my entire property with it. BTW I have a new roll of cattle fencing for you. I don't know how long it is but you can have it.

Man, you have helper

I talked to a old goat rancher once trying to get pointers on raising goats. He told me that unless you can build a fence that will hold water then maybe it will hold goats. He was right!!!!

If im not mistaken that was a shrew, and they are venomous....lol. Good thing you had gloves on!

How do I determine how long of the electric poultry fencing I have twenty-five chickens

What size premier 1 fence you get ?

so the posts are part of the kit then?

Lol I had goats once...ONCE! LOL I even named 1 Houdini because that lil s*it could get out of ANYTHING & EVERYTHING!🤣🤣 I no longer have the patience for goats but love their stubborn/playful attitudes! Wish I had known about this fencing Then! Please update us on how it worked out for You! Cheers!😀

That little dude was a vole! I used to confuse the two all the time before my cat caught a little mole and left it as a gift on our porch. At least she left it outside... she has a history of maiming mice and leaving them to bleed out in our bathtub. 🤦‍♀

I seem to never be able to get mine electrified. I'm using an electrifier that plugs in, one positive wire to the fence, one to the ground. Should be simple but my fence is barely popping.

I did install mine by myself. It wasn't the easiest process but it can be done. LOL

Did you say you would put a link to the Victorinox knife? I dont see it. Where did you find it, I have been running into alot of fakes lately

Pasture looking good how about a Update video on seedlings

Where does the electric come in? Do you have to run a line from the house?

can you use this in the winter?Here in ohio we do sometimes get a foot or so of snow will this fence still work?

How far apart are the posts?

Can you please show your mobile goat shacks and what you use ???

We are considering the same fence but there is no way step-in posts will work for us. Premiere has driveable posts but those are extra. They are supposed to be coming out with a version that has driveable posts integrated into the fence like the step-in posts. We may wait until then. We will be trying to keep goats and sheep in with the fence but we will spend some time training them to it first.

What energizer did you go with? Do you have a preference for solar or no? I've heard so many mixed feelings on solar. My portable fence will at times be 73 yds from the power source in my barn and that's a lot of additional cordage to stretch out there. Plus, trying not to break the bank! Was hoping to stay under $500 between the poultry netting (which sounds like is best because of the smaller holes) and the energizer. Help!

we dont have like that in the philippines can i do order from you? i have chicken and goat and have the hard time to transfer.

"These aren't show dogs..these goats don't have papers!" 😂

They also have it for deer!

Not trying to be a negative Nancy but that's just a bandaid. You are in need of a more permanent fencing. A five foot cattle fence will do it. The mountain I live on here in NE Alabama ever person that has goat is using five foot cattle fence. shoot when I had goats in Florida I used five foot fence panels from Tractor supply. I think they were 16 ft long. They were $18-20 each. I even put a electric wire around the bottom outside of the pen to keep out the unwanted.

Do you think it will keep out coyotes?

"I have never even seen a mole that close". You still haven't seen a mole. (Love your delivery, and the way you explain what you are doing.)

Cab't you just start pulling the stakes out and pull each one back to take up the slack ? You seem to have the room.

Actual information about the fence, roughly a minute or two, but scattered about in between 15 minutes of everything under the sun...

Fyi i if you pull the triyon your trimmer it will automatically shut off fhe choke

I'll tell ya if its bull crap or not haha love it

I dont know about that I do it once a week all buy myself and I'm 13

What was the price? How did you set up the electric power part? Does it work??

The critter was a shrew not a mole.

Is the fence water proof?

Haha, it will go as far as the length of the fence.

Smart non paper goats!!!

Can I use this to protect my garden from horses. I’m new on all this gardening and growing food and there’s horses on the property.

Goat love

That's a shrew. Moles have a tiny nub tail and a star nose.

I think the little critter was a shrew.

Circumference = 2* Pi * radius. You want your 100 ft net to go in a circle. 100=2*3.14*R R = 100/6.28 = 15.9 ft. Next time stick in a thin pole straight down into the ground at the center of your intended area and get a 16' length of rope and make a small halfhitch knot at one end and put that end over the pole so you can walk around the pole in a circle and stomp down the brush. Then go back with the trimmer and knock down the circular path you made. Then lay down some cardboard and start adding your netting. Easy peasy.

Rotovator fence line

Does it keep wallabies out?

What I use to keep goats is the hot fence like you got there for your cattle and on the outside I ran chicken wire , 5 feet high , parallel with the hot fence about 10 inches from it . This is from trial and error . They always got out until I tried it this way . The hot fence wire spacing was a trick too . Spacing was from the ground up 6" , 6" , 6" , 8" , 10 " , 12 " , 12 " . Polarity from ground up + , - , + , - , + , - , + . Ran the polarity like this because they may not ground and make that circuit but they definitely will when their nose touches the two . They are not heavy like a cow and may be standing on grass insulated . They have to learn or be " taught" that the fence will hurt them .

Hy Stoney Ridge,can u please tell that the price of this fence.

I tried this netting 1 summer and the goats loved it. They could free range the whole neighborhood because this stuff is useless. The first problem is low impedance fence doesn't work on goats. I have a high amp charger now with 5 strands of fence and the goats are no longer a problem. Good luck finding the high amp charger, they are rarer then hens teeth now because it will catch a field on fire it not tended properly.

I am protecting my Rv from chipmunks eating the rv from the wiring up. You think this electric netting/fence around the rv keep the rodents from entering under it?

I have used it before you will easily get 4 or 5 years out of it it's pretty tough stuff

Dude, the freebies has to be much more tightly drawn than what you have there, otherwise the bottom electrified strand week ground out. BTW, you don't need two people to install it. Just anchor the first post and stretch out the netting, lay it down. Then, go back and stretch the meeting pit from the first post and press them in. :)

Why will it cause problems if there's limbs, or stuff growing around it?!

That was probably a shrew, not a mole. Mole's are typically larger and you won't find them hanging out in a wood pile...

How can we get the poultry netting here in Iligan City, Philippines? Do you have a supplier or distributor of your products here in our location?

🐐🐐🐐💚💚💚👍

goatel california!

Goat hooves will cut the wires if you lay it over for a “gate”. Also, bush hogs will slice through the &199 in a heartbeat. P.S. -in 47 states “Goat Love” will get you 3-5 years hard time.....

The guy on the fence movie did it by his self lot tighter than yours

Couldn't you just use regular ole chicken wire, cut the female end off of an extension cord, strip the wires, hook'em up to the chicken wire, and plug it in? Sounds good to me. ;o)

Sure wish you could have explained how the power works and all that.

Bwahahahahah joyiuos goats !? Goats that ya want to choke to death sometimes lol please dont forget to tell us how the fence works in about two weeks if this works I may see about getting this for dog Boudica

Butt fertilizer is the best fertilizer

You have t used it much then !!! The knife lol

Goats might nibble on that fence and get a little buzz..

U forget to tell us how U set the electrics up!!!

Just checked the link... EVERY one of them is BACK ORDERED!!

Goats AND chickens will eat that shrew.😂

150’ long. You’re only getting 37.5’ x 37.5’ for a total of 1,406.25 sq ft of space. They’ll eat through that in a day or less.

use cattle panels and steel t post goats wont get out

If I have to get poultry net I have to get a six feet high net these chicken of mines jumping over four feet

them ears tho!

Are you still happy with it

using a brush hog to run the fence line so you have a space on both sides of the fence "oh this is a old vlog? sorry"

That's not a mole that's a shrew and they eat mice that's what they eat🤗🤗 which is a good thing you don't want to kill them .more of them is.good thing field mice ya know.they look like mice but have a long snout 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

You didn't say anything about what Energizer to use.

That’s not a mole it’s a shrew and it’s full grown.
