Hotline Green Electric Poultry Netting

Description

Green Electric Poultry Netting. Available in 25m or 50m rolls from Hotline Electric Fencing.

Flexible Poultry Netting to keep the foout. Surround your chickens with this electrified netting to give maximum safety and maximum space. Make it into any shape you want and move it to new ground as often as you want.

It can be powered by a Mains Energiser, 12v Battery Energiser or Solar Power. Take a look at our complete Poultry Netting Kits section.

Electric Netting is simply the best way we have found to protect your poultry from the desires of the foand badger. We must stress, this netting is for keeping the foand other predators out, not for keeping the chickens in – although it can do that too.

The Standard Electric Poultry Netting is a 12-strand net, 110cm high (appro3ft 8in), flexible polywire net. The mesh has 7.6cm wide 6.3cm high squares at the base going up to 7.6cm 11.4cm at the top. See the Specifications tab.

PLEASE do double-check the length of netting you require as once the roll of netting is opened we cannot accept it back for exchange i.e. it cannot be refunded unless it is returned unopened and in a saleable condition.

Each electric netting roll comes with anchoring pegs for the bottom strand, a warning sign and a net repair kit. For complete Kits, to include everything you need for an effective fence, take a look at our Electric Fencing Kits for Poultry Section.

We suggest using a 9v or 12v battery energiser with poultry netting to ensure enough power goes through the strands and can overcome some shorting out. A Battery energiser should have at least 0.3 or more stored joules and for a mains energiser, we would also suggest at least 0.2 joules.

Tips for Installing Netting: When installing the net, carefully unroll the netting, roughly in position (see our video). Then push the posts into the ground around your hen house until the two end posts meet.

It should be kept as taut as possible and free of vegetation, then use plastic tent pegs (with guy ropes made of any non-conductive cord) on the posts to tension the top strand. Use the anchoring pegs on the bottom non-live strand to close any gaps over uneven ground.

You may find it difficult to stop the fence ‘sagging’ on sloping ground so extra black flexi-posts may be needed here, or CP112 more rigid Corner Posts.

A fowon’t normally take a ‘running jump’ at the fence, they will come and investigate it first and walk around it to find weak points. Once they touch it with their nose it will ‘bite’ them. The bottom strand (black) is not electrified but the next strand up at appro6cm is live and this also prevents the fofrom digging under the netting.

Note: the netting does not need to ‘meet’ to make a circuit; it could be in a ‘U’ shape or one long line and would still work. The electric circuit is completed when the fotouches the wire whilst his feet are on the ground.

• The 25 metre length of netting is approx. 82 ft, creates a Pen of appro21ft 21ft – 440 sq ft – or 39 sq metres.
• The 50 metre length of netting, is approx. 164 ft, giving appro41ft 41ft – 1680 sq ft – or 156 sq metres.
