Your experience - how effective is electric netting for free ranging during the day?

I have the same trouble with Premier on flat ground. Fencing just rolls up on the bottom and lays on the ground. I actually have three separate chargers: Intellishock, solar, and the Kobe. Currently I am using the Intellishock but like the Kobe best. Getting ready to set up two more areas. I think I will stick with the Premier. Overall, I've been really pleased with it.

I take the sag out with these. Just get a stick with a fork on it and prop the netting up so it doesn’t touch the ground and short out. Just don’t raise the netting enough to let critters crawl under. That bottom strand is not hot.
 
That's awesome. I continually put off buying the extra posts as I keep thinking there must be a way I can fix it without the extra expense. Now I know what to do, I am so going to use this.
 
Oh Monsanto, we love you, we hate you, we can't wait to debate you.

Sorry, it's been that kind of day. Sometimes all you can do is laugh.

Does anyone know how long we can reasonably expect the poultry netting to last? I've heard various things and I'm sure it depends on how you use it/store it. But with continual outside use, how long till I may have to seriously start thinking about replacing it? I have no problem repairing to keep it going. I'm thinking about the pros/cons of going to a fence protected by hot wire at the bottom and top. I don't have flyers, so I think a 6 foot fence will keep birds in. I simply want to keep the neighbor dogs, coyotes and foxes out.

I'm used to using the paddock system, so I could fence the areas I use into quarters to keep them on healthy grass. Thoughts?

Edited to delete redundancy. I like that word. Redundancy.

I use the same net as Jack, but with a solar charger.... oh and mine is green.
Perchance do you have a picture of your fencing? I can't seem to find any pics of the green premier netting stretched out...wondering if it's a better blend with the surroundings, my guess is yes?
Also did you go with the poultrynet plus or the permanet plus? Can't decide...thanks!
