Fence Netting for the Backyard Chicken Keeper and the Professional Farmer
We are the Australian specialist in all things to do with electric netting. Our fence netting is all imported from Germany and we offer an unrivaled number of product options – everything from “Heavy Duty” netting for the professional free-range chicken farmer to lighter grade “Standard” fence netting for the urban hobby block.
How does netting stop predators?
Fence netting is made from polyurethane with metal filaments running through the horizontal strands (apart from the bottom baseline). PVC posts are an integral part of the kit and hold the netting in place. An energiser is attached to the fence to โchargeโ the netting and the earth is connected to the ground via an earth stake. This forms an open circuit. When the predator touches the fence netting, they close the circuit and get an electric shock. As a result, the shock frightens the predator away as they have no understanding of what just happened to them.
Fence Netting – Selected Products
Electric Fence Netting โ 50m
When it comes to fence netting, we are Australiaโs leading specialist importer. Consequently, we have an unrivaled set of options to make sure that your fence suits your personal requirements.
In order to serve you better, we have three different models of fence netting. Please note that all three models use exactly the same netting material โ the difference is entirely in the height and thickness of the posts. The three different options we stock are:
- Standard โ 110 cm tall posts, 13mm post thickness, 7mm thick double prong.
- Tall โ 120 cm tall posts, 13mm post thickness, 7mm double prong.
- Heavy โ 120 cm tall posts, 19mm post thickness, 8mm double prong.
The heavy duty fence netting is perfect for professional poultry businesses or if you live on hard ground and need a sturdy post that can go into the ground without bending. To buy now or investigate other options, click on the link below.
Electric Netting โ 25m
If you do not need 50m of netting, then you may find that 25m will be sufficient. Our 25m roll of netting is the perfect size for an urban backyard or small holding to protect a flock of a dozen or so birds.
Like all of our other netting, the 25m roll is made in Germany. This roll measures 120 cm tall and has a 7mm thick steel prong on the bottom of the post. Unfortunately, there is no heavy-duty post option as it is unavailable. However, for most urban environments such as lawn or grass, the 7mm steel post is more than sufficient.
