The TRUTH about Premier 1 fencing! 

What a beautiful house/ home. I love older homes.

Last year the critters (rabbits, deer, etc.) ate just about my whole garden. Then I bought the Premier1 poultry fence to put up around it. It worked to save the plants that were left, that tried to make a valent come back. Being half way through the season, it wasn't much; and we ended up buying produce to can salsa, etc. This year, the fence is up and ready to protect my garden from the start. Long live Premier1.

This is excellent information. I've been scared of using this for years.

Happy with my Premiere1 Poultry fencing. Using a energizer that doesn’t push well through even a little weediness/piled up mulch but cannot fault the fencing for that. Cons: Wanted the permanent net fencing cause i use it in my back yard and don’t move it much at all. Cannot get this type in Canada unless willing to pay through the nose on S/H and customs. Only has 2 Canada distributors and they only have one type of Premier poultry fencing type, which is NOT the type used for ‘permanent’/long term instillation. -Expensive -fencing netting with long sections Tends to stretch out /droop/sag overtime. Pros: -Very nice quality. -Comes with a nice repair kit. Lots of replacement fencing rope and clips. -Does NOT tangle up on itself nearly as much as another electric net fencing I bought the Premier fencing to replace. This seems to have something to do with the texture of the materials. This made for a MUCH easier installation and moving. -Comes with nice long ties useful for securing the fencing to another section of fencing or other object as well as great for parceling it up nice and neat for storage.

Very thorough info. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this honest video! When I went to the HOA conference this year the Premier One guys had a booth and I got their catalogues to look through for the future. I’ll keep this in mind. Also, I know you guys are busy but would you be willing to do a video taking stock of the animals that y’all have on the farm? Visiting the goats, head count and future plans with the chickens, checking in on the dogs, etc. I’d love to see it!

I may have over looked it but what solar charger did you go with that will work on 3 - 164 length goat fences or suggestions on how many joules or watts?

Nice video , good honest info ..thanks !

Thank you. I thought I was the only one who had issues. For me, goats are a no go unless I want to put young ones on area for a day. I can use for poultry on flat areas and for sheep. I will continue to use for flat and temporary areas but will keep working on permanent fencing.

Thank you so much this was helpful.

Can you use green hedge like hedge lucerne for fencing?

Used all sorts of fence for goats - the Premier 1 is the best for all seasons on rough terrain (Maine) bar none. If you want electro netting, it's worth the extra money and their customer service is positively amazing

Good video, trying to decide if I want to use poultry netting.

Hey, thanks for the info....would have liked some video clips of the positives and negatives... seeing your goats trying to get out...you trying to set up with snags etc

Happy Thanksgiving

I've used Premier 1 48" electric semi-permanent with the double spike for 5 years. It is extremely durable and we moved it several times per year. I initially had 7, 100' sections of this fence. I live in a hilly area and by utilizing the correct fence for the application, it worked famously. I had 7 goats and now have 12 sheep and NEVER had an escape. Please, buy the fence designed for the terrain and the specific animals. This is my personal experience with this fence for 5 years at Ponker Farm.

Most people I saw use them in the woods or anywhere, they weed whack/string trim a path, you want to keep it clear.

have any info on double or single spike? can you use another charger unit with the Premier 1 fencing?

what fencing do you use for your goats now? Getting goats soon and trying to decide what I should get.

Mine keeps grounding out I check and check The stakes with wire touching The battery. Connection Etc

Would you say that you could use this to set up a dog kennel area?

How would this work for protect my gardens from rabbits and groundhogs?

Don’t go trying to use Premier, one temporary netting for perimeter fence .

Thank you for making this video. I see the Premier 1 fencing in virtually everyone's videos and wondered about it. It seems awfully expensive to me. And I live on hilly, wooded property, too! Thanks for the heads-up!

I raise a small breed of pigs...and properly trained them to Premier 1 Pig netting for pastured pigs (the kit, with energizer). The net doesn't reach the ground (6" gap) and within a couple months, they figured out that they could quickly push the net up and run under it. Then, BOOM...just like - hundreds of dollars totally wasted! The clips and caps just slide onto the fiber rods...they aren't threaded, so when the clips slide up it leaves an opening the height of the rod for all the other pigs to follow through. When the caps are pushed off, the net falls to the ground and the pigs just walk over it.

I bought a Starkline netting kit and it has worked perfectly! I can't speak to Premier netting but I love mine.

You need pins to keep the bottom line on the ground.

Get a whole pile of plastic tent pegs and peg the bottom line down.

I have three big neighbor dogs that already killed one of my rabbits. We will have ove 50 chickens here soon.. Do you think this will keep those dogs out?

Sounds like you need a pos/neg fencing. My ground a very dry but it would keep your sheep/goats from going underneath. my dog have tried😬

Would the fencing keep groundhogs and rabbits out of a garden?

I have had a problem with the netting getting caught stuff as well. We've kept sheep and chickens in it temporarily. But our property got pretty grown up before we got our riding mower and there were lots of saplings coming up. Now that it's all mowed down, the netting gets caught on all those little sapling stumps. My netting also only has the one spike at the bottom instead of the double that you can step on. It can be really hard to push into our clay ground when it's dry or frozen. I also have trouble keeping the netting taut. But I'm pretty sure that last part is user error on my part.

With all the people that use premier 1 no comments (ok only 17 people looked) so far however I do rotated fencing with perment fence and move animals not the fence It works better for me. Animals dont exscape, do to fence charger not working.Premier 1 starter fence cost close to 500.00 dollars with the same money can get 2 rolls of 330ft of fence plus t post. Of course when premeir gives youtubers the fence to push, for us to buy then it is cheaper. Thanks for the pros and cons of premier 1

What about rocky soil...we have very rocky soil.

You lost me at if it can hold in a chicken it can hold in a goat

Great product. Rude people working there. Try to get a refund. No longer nice
