Thunderbird Electric Fence Options for the Hobby Farmer and the Professional
We are the Australian specialist in all things to do with electric netting. Our Thunderbird electric fence options are all based around electric netting imported from Germany combined with Australian-made Thunderbird electric fence energisers.
We offer an unrivaled number of Thunderbird electric fence kits – everything from 200m plus “Heavy Duty” poultry netting kits for the professional free-range chicken farmer to 25m lighter grade “Standard” poultry netting for the urban hobby block.
How does electric netting stop predators?
Poultry netting is made from polyurethane with metal filaments running through the horizontal strands (apart from the bottom baseline). The net is mounted on PVC posts. To ‘charge’ the electric fence, a Thunderbird energiser is connected to the net and to the ground via an earth stake. This forms an open circuit. When the predator touches the poultry netting, they close the circuit and get an electric shock. This shock frightens the predator away as they have no understanding of what just happened to them.

Thunderbird Electric Fence Kit – 200m Goat Netting
When it comes to electric netting, we are Australia’s leading specialist importer. We have an unrivaled set of options to make sure that your Thunderbird electric fence suits your personal requirements.
For the professional farmer, we offer the 200m Thunderbird electric fence for goats. The fencing kit includes a choice of two different grades of electric netting:
- The “Stiffened” goat netting, suited for rough terrain and fencing areas full of underbrush.
- The “Standard” goat netting, ideal for flat pastures.
Both Thunderbird electric fence kits are powered by a Thunderbird Solar Fence Energiser. The base model energiser that comes with this kit is the S75B, which can power up to 10km of wire (or 200m of netting). Energiser upgrades are also available.

Thunderbird Electric Fence Kit – 50m Poultry Netting
We also offer Thunderbird electric fence kits based on a 50m roll of electric netting and an S28B Solar energiser. This kit is perfect if you are looking for a smaller Thunderbird electric fence to protect your flock from dogs or foxes, or to keep your poultry confined within a specific section of the garden.
If you do not need 50m of poultry netting, you may find that 25m will be sufficient. Our 25m roll of poultry netting is the perfect size for an urban backyard or small holding to protect a flock of a dozen or so birds.
Based on our German-made poultry netting, this kit includes a variety of options, including energiser upgrades and various netting post sizes.
