premier1 poultry netting.. advice needed!

[sillyduckz]

I have the 48" tall Chicken Net and I love it. I don't electrify it and it keeps my adult ducks (wings are clipped) and chickens in most of the time. The downside to this cheaper netting is the rather floppy posts and spacing between the posts which results in sagging. It needs to be supported with extra posts, especially at the corners, and staked to the ground to prevent the birds from escaping underneath (it comes with stakes). I don't move it as often as you plan to so I have T-posts at each corner and fiber rods between each post.

Since you want to move it often you may want to go for one with posts that are closer together so it is faster to set up and take down.

I recommend the fences with posts that have a single spike. I have another brand of electric netting with double spiked posts and I do not like them at all. The spikes bend and break in rocky soil and end up misaligned which makes them difficult to replace into the ground.

thank you for the info! it seems like the PoultryNet Plus will likely suit my needs the best, the added posts will be helpful on pieces of uneven ground. they also mention the PoultryNet line is faster to install than the other varieties which will be useful for regular paddock rotation. what length fence are you using?

You're welcome! I have both the 82' and 164' of the Premier1 fence plus other fences to create one giant pen.

I use electric fencing from them and a similar company called Kencove.
I find them to be good products and the customer service people are helpful. I had never used an electric fence before but managed to set it up just fine.
It does on occasion get torn. Branches from storms, a raccoon in a panic - but it is rare and they supply a repair kit with each fence.
