So can you run these as a straight fence not connecting back to itself in a closed loop? As in I want to run some along my wood line but not back on itself, just a single line. Will that work?
Correct, an electric fence does not need to connect back to itself. The circuit is complete by an animal (in contact with the ground) touching the fence.
Most energizers put out 7k-12k volts this is fine on netting. Higher joule energizers on short fence lines are fine but are more than needed. For further questions please give us a call at 800-282-6631.
The bottom strand of netting is not electrified. We recommend mowing or trampling the grass prior to installation. If grass contact is likely to occur, use a large enough energizer that can power through the grass contact and provide a large enough pulse at the end of the fence line.
You can make a u-turn and have the net against itself, or overlap the ends. Bundling increases the likelihood of conductors touching the spikes and shorting out the net. Shorter lengths than the standard 100' or 164' nets are available.
@@premier1supplies thank you so much for the U-turn idea, I've been raking the coals of my mind all morning either waiting for a response or trying to think of something innovative😂
You can tie back to the T posts for support at curves, corners or ends. Attaching directly to a t-post via insulators defeats the benefit of portability.
We recommend mowing or trampling the grass to reduce the weed load on the fence. Unless you have a powerful enough energizer to push through the weeds (output needed depends on amount of grass and length of fence), you're going to need to maintain a clean fenceline.
Extra points for not using cheesy music with this video.
So excited to get mine setup today! Thank you Joe!
Than you :) I needed a refresher...
Great video you guys!

@@premier1supplies perfect, thank you
Yes you should connect it back to itself as this will be the least resistance and give you a higher voltage.
Now if you have a small barn can I run the netting to each side of the miniature barn
Can one repair..broken squares on the bottom. Edge.. ? Just tie it together?
Yes, bottom strands can be tied together. Use the supplied cordage from the included repair kit.
How does it set on the ground but not ground itself out?
The lowest strand has no charge running through it.
Is there a limit to the maximum volts and/or joules recommended to power the Electro Net fence?
Most energizers put out 7k-12k volts this is fine on netting. Higher joule energizers on short fence lines are fine but are more than needed. For further questions please give us a call at 800-282-6631.
I see grass touching the bottom of the net. Is that not going to be an issue?
The bottom strand of netting is not electrified.
We recommend mowing or trampling the grass prior to installation. If grass contact is likely to occur, use a large enough energizer that can power through the grass contact and provide a large enough pulse at the end of the fence line.
Could I only use a partial amount and keep the rest bundled?
You can make a u-turn and have the net against itself, or overlap the ends. Bundling increases the likelihood of conductors touching the spikes and shorting out the net. Shorter lengths than the standard 100' or 164' nets are available.

For support posts can I use normal metal t posts

How does this work if the netting is contacting the ground? Wouldn't it discharge rapidly?
The bottom strand of netting is nonconductive so it does not effect the charge.
Can you use these nets with tall grass
We recommend mowing or trampling the grass to reduce the weed load on the fence. Unless you have a powerful enough energizer to push through the weeds (output needed depends on amount of grass and length of fence), you're going to need to maintain a clean fenceline.
My energizer is 6,000 joules. Is that too much for chickens and sheep?
6,000 joules or 6,000 volts? Send us an email with a picture of the energizer and we'll help. info@premier1supplies.com
@@premier1supplies 6,000 Jules would explode a chicken or sheep lol :D
Can you use this for a dog?
Yes, we have folks that use netting for all varieties of canines. Please give us a call at 800-282-6631to speak to one of our consultants.
