50m Soft Electric Netting Fence for Poultry, Possums, Rabbits, Orchards - 1.2m High

• Spike: Stainless steel (provides reliable grounding)

• Posts: ABS plastic with fibreglass reinforcement

• Wire: Low-resistance copper for optimal power conductivity

Drive a grounding rod deep into the soil and connect it to the ground terminal on your energiser. In dry or sandy conditions, water the soil around the rod regularly to improve conductivity.

• Small animals: Use an energiser with a minimum output of 0.05 joules

• Larger or resistant animals: Use 1.5 joules or higher

• Standard setup (100 metres): A 0.5-joule energiser is recommended

If vegetation is heavy, increase output to 1–1.5 joules for best performance.

Check for the following:

• Vegetation contact: Ensure the bottom strand isn't touching grass or plants

• Poor grounding: Make sure the grounding rod is deep enough and properly connected to the energiser

Yes. You can connect up to 5 fences in series using one power source. The copper wire ensures low resistance and minimal voltage drop across the combined layout.

• Per metre: 0.2 ohms

• Per 50 metres: 12 ohms

This is significantly lower than standard fencing (which can exceed 50–60 ohms), allowing for longer and more efficient runs.

Only one energiser is required, thanks to the low-resistance copper wire design. Ensure your energiser’s joule rating matches the total fence length and vegetation level.

Yes. Simply fold back the excess netting to double-layer it—do not cut the wire, as this will break the electrical circuit.

Yes, but note:

• Rolled sections still conduct electricity, which increases resistance

• Ensure your energiser is powerful enough to maintain voltage across the full system

Yes. Plug-in energisers are perfectly suitable when mains power is available. Always take safety precautions during installation, especially in wet conditions.

You can:

• Install a compatible gate (sold separately)

• Disconnect power, wear insulated gloves, remove a post for access, then reconnect power after replacing the post

Use non-metallic rope (2–3 mm thick) to tie and secure broken plastic strands.

Yes, the fence can safely handle 3.1 joules. However, this output produces a strong shock and is not suitable for small animals.

Yes. If one side is already enclosed (e.g., by hog wire), you can use the netting fence to form the other three sides. Just connect one end of the netting to the energiser.

Yes. The copper wire construction allows for reliable performance over large areas, even with thick vegetation. Use a 1–1.5 joule energiser for best results in such conditions

Yes. To make a temporary gate:

1. Disconnect the power supply

2. Remove one post to create an opening

3. Enter or exit, then replace the post and restore power

No. Using it near steel posts or page wire fences may cause electrical interference and reduce system effectiveness. Maintain distance from solid metal structures.
