Tips for electric netting

[Magnolia Ducks]

Well I have it up, though it looks more like a geodesic dome footprint than the square I was going for. The instructions are kind of sparse. Does anybody have any tips? How tight should it be? The bottom of the net touches the ground when I put the posts all the way in. Is that right? My plan is to charge the battery tonight and put the duckies in tomorrow. Will the ducks learn how to use it or need supervision? This looked a lot easier in pictures.

If the bottom of the net is electrified, you don't want it touching the ground. I would assume most of the electric nets do not electrify the bottom most wire due to this?

The bottom wire is black and the rest of the netting is white. I assume that means it is not electrified on the bottom. I have it up better now but some of the posts are bowed. Maybe I went from too loose to go tight. I will electrify it tomorrow and put the ducks in and see how it goes. Thanks
