I love me some properly grounded and energized electric netting! Have successfully used poultry netting as perimeter fence with goats, geese and chickens here on the farm. Coyote pressure here is heavy to say the least and 5 seasons in no issues thus far. I do test voltage on all runs of netting at their termination point every night tho. Use it spring, summer and fall but not in the winter here in upstate NY. Currently have 2145 linear feet of it out in the fields and will be adding more next year. Capital intensive MULTIPLE use infrastructure is the way to go per Joel Salatin and I would have to agree. This is why I choose to buy/use poultry netting since it works with all the animals I have here...goats, geese and chickens. Love your channel's content and looking forward to seeing more in the future!
@@cylonrollingacres When I crossed over 660 linear feet of netting out on pasture I started having issues with low voltage. All lines were free and clear of any forage that could possibly add grounding pressure. Contacted the manufacturer and they recommended I have at least 3 feet of ground rod per joule of energizer. I have a 6 joule energizer and only had 10 feet of ground rod. Only had half the ground rod that I needed! Added another 10 feet of ground rod into the mix and voltage doubled. Whereas before I was having trouble keeping 3.0kv on the fence with the proper amount of ground rod I was now up close to 6.0kv. If possible putting ground rods where the ground remains wet is optimal but I'm not in that situation so when there are long dry spells here on the farm I will drip irrigate my ground rods and that will drastically improve voltage on the fence-line.
Gallagher's is made from their Turbo wire which is 45x more conductive than the usual poly wire, the step in post grips are a plus, and the handle/straps for moving the fence are pretty handy- all making it different from P1. Premier has a lot more options for sizes (height, length) and applications of net fence.
