Electric Netting Fence

The Pet & Livestock HQ Netting Fence is suitable for all types of animals both large and small. It can handle Solar fence Energisers that output as little as 0.05 Joules all the way to those that output 1.5Joules or greater.

Yes you can connect a maximum of 5 Pet & Livestock HQ Netting Fences in a series layout such as a square or pentagon, to form a closed loop. Our netting fence uses copper wire which is characterised by its low resistance and minimal power loss requiring only 1 power source for the entire setup.

12Ω every 50 meters as opposed to high resistance netting fence that uses between 50Ω to 60Ω

Our fence resistance is exceptionally low compared to other high resistance netting fences so you would only require 1 power supply. Other high resistance netting fences require minimum of 2 power supplies or more.

If the bottom of the netting fence is in contact with vegetation ( i.e. grass, weeds, etc. ) this can cause the fence to ground out.
Another common cause an be an inadequate grounding system. Make certain the grounding rod is installed deep enough into the earth to ensure good conductivity. Check the grounding rod and connections to make sure they are correct and secure.

You can use any non-metallic rope with a diameter ranging between 2-3mm to secure the plastic wires effectively.

For 100 meters of netting fence, an energizer with a minimum output of 0.5 joules is recommended. However, if your area has heavy vegetation or you need a more robust deterrent for larger animals or animals with a thicker coat, you may consider an energizer with a higher joule rating (between 1-1.5 joules). We recommend our Pet & Livestock HQ Solar Fence Energiser which is compatible with the Pet & livestock HQ Electric Netting fence.

Yes, excess netting fence left rolled up will still conduct electricity, but it may impact the overall effectiveness of your electric fence system. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind:

1. Electrical Resistance: Any part of the electric fence that is rolled up and unused will still carry the electrical charge, as the wires are designed to conduct electricity throughout their length. However, the coiled or rolled section can increase the total resistance of the circuit, which might reduce the voltage along the rest of the fence.
2. Voltage Drop: If the energizer isn't powerful enough to handle the additional resistance caused by the rolled-up section, there could be a voltage drop. This means less shock potential in parts of the fence that are in use, potentially reducing the effectiveness at deterring animals.
3. Power Distribution: The effectiveness of power distribution might be compromised, especially if the rolled-up section is significant in length. This is because energy is expended along the entire length of the fence, including the unused, rolled-up part.
4. Best Practice: It’s generally recommended to use only the length of fencing you need and to adjust the setup to fit the area you are enclosing. If you find yourself with excess fencing, consider reconfiguring the layout if possible or using a more appropriately sized fence. This ensures optimal performance and maintains the integrity of the shock system.

If reconfiguring isn’t an option and you need to use a long fence with excess that needs to be rolled up, ensure your energizer can handle the extra load and check the voltage regularly along different sections of the fence to ensure it remains effective.

Yes, you can shorten our Electric Netting Fence if it's longer than you need for your specific area. When you reach the area you require the coverage for you can place a pole there and then you can fold the extra netting back to the original position where you started so you will have a second layer of netting fence. You can even have a third layer of the netting fence depending on how short you require the netting fence to be i.e. you can loop the wire or wrap it back on itself. DO NOT cut the wire to fit the area you require as this will break the netting fence.

Yes, you can use a plug-in charger with our Pet & Livestock HQ Netting Fence if you have access to a mains electricity supply. However, please ensure you follow safety guidelines during installation and operation, especially in wet conditions, to avoid any electrical hazards.

To create access points or gates you either need to purchase a gate that would work effectively with your Pet & Livestock Netting Fence. The conductive wires of the gate need to be connected to the Pet & Livestock Netting Fence. You could make your own gate ideally close to the edge.

Another option is to disconnect the power connection of the Pet & Livestock HQ Netting Fence wearing insulated glove for safety precautions. Remove the post at the edge of the fence and enter the enclosure with food water or tools. After entering put the post back and reconnect the power. When leaving the Netting Fence turn off the power before doing anything. Remove the post to create an opening, leave the enclosure and then replace the post and secure it. Remember to connect the power again so the netting Fence is active.
