25m Green Hotline Electric Poultry Netting

OUR PRICE £73.00 (RRP £92.40)

25m length of Green Electric Poultry Netting made by Hotline Electric Fencing UK. Electric Netting is simply the best way we have found for protecting your poultry from the desires of the fox, badger, mink etc. We must stress, this netting is for keeping the fox out, not just for keeping the chickens in although it can do that too.

A fox won't take a 'running jump' at the fence, they will come and investigate it first and walk around it to find weak points. Once they touch it with their nose it will 'bite' them. The bottom strand (black) is not electrified but the next strand up at approx 6cm is live and this also prevents the fox from digging under the netting.

The Hotline Electric Poultry Netting is a 12-strand net, 110cm high (approx 3' 8"), and the mesh has 7.6cm wide x 6.3cm high squares at the base going up to 7.6cm x 11.4cm at the top. The 25m roll of netting, when used to make a complete enclosure, will cover an area of approx. 39 sq m (20' x 20'). Electric Poultry Netting also available in 16m and 50m lengths.

The 25m electric netting roll is supplied with 9 black flexi-posts with metal spikes (15cm long) which you push into the ground. Each electric netting roll comes with guy twines and pegs, anchoring pegs for the bottom strand and a net repair kit. For complete Kits, to include everything you need for an effective fence, take a look at our Poultry Anti-Fox Electric Fence Kits.

When installing the net, carefully unroll the net roughly into position. Then push the posts into the ground around your henhouse until the two end posts meet. It should be kept as taut as possible and free of vegetation; then use the guy ropes on the posts to tension the top strand and the anchoring pegs on the bottom non-live strand to close any gaps over uneven ground. You may find it difficult to stop the fence 'sagging' on sloping ground so extra black Flexi-posts may be needed here.

We suggest using a 9v or 12v battery energiser with 25m poultry netting to make sure enough power goes through the strands and can overcome some shorting out. A Battery energiser should have at least 0.15 or more stored joules and for a mains we would suggest 0.4 joules.

A small mains powered electric poultry netting kit for the hobby poultry keeper who doesn't want the worry of a battery going flat and having to re-charge it. For more details of using Poultry Netting to stop foxes link here to Electric Poultry Netting

We have included here the new dual power energiser from Hotline as a mains energiser but it can also be used as a battery energiser for a 12v battery - so if you change your mind or find you cannot use mains anymore, simply add a 12v battery to the system and then the energsier can be placed outside (on a wall or post) near to the fence. For more details see Hotline Gemini Energisers in the Energisers section.

This Gemini 40 Dual Power energiser does have to be housed under cover (when used in a mains system) and have access to mains electricity. It simply plugs into a 3-pin mains socket and is attached to the fence and the earth spike using the double insulated lead-out cable supplied. Full installation instructions are included.

We supply the Gemini 40 unit with this kit for a 25m netting kit (which will cover an area of approx 39 sq m or 20ft square), but it could power a longer (50m) net if required, or 2 x 25m nets. The Gemini Energiser is suitable for use in a garden environment, with a 1 watt consumption and output of 0.3 joules.

Options to add to this kit are a Fence Indicator Light which flashes with the pulses of the fence. This acts as a deterrent and also gives quick visual sign that the fence is working, or, a Fence Voltage Alert which clips on to the fence and a red light will flash if the fence is not on or if the voltage drops below a certain level (see links below). When using with a mains system it may be worth considering installing a Cut-out Switch near the fence in order to turn it on and off easily.

If your ground is sloping or particularly uneven it may be worth considering adding more Black Flexi Posts which also avoids the frustration of never having a post in the net where you need to change the fence direction. Although this 25m net comes with 5 posts, and we include an extra 5 posts in the kit, this may not be enough in all situations. Spare guy ropes, Netting Repair Kits and galvanised pegs are also available separately (from our Electric Netting section).

Installation Instructions

This kit is ideal for a garden area to protect your hens from the terrors of the fox and badger (or even domestic cats and dogs) and the green 25m net will cover 39sq m (approx 20ft x 20ft). The electric shock will not harm the animals but will stop them attacking your chickens.

This electric netting kit uses a Centaur 9v Energiser from Hotline. A flexible option, where mains power is not available, as it works off a 9v disposable battery (included with this kit) which in housed inside the energiser box. It has 0.14 joules energy rating which would power a (realistic) fence length of 2 km - e.g. a 25m net has total length of 275 m electrified wires (11 electrified strands x 25m) but electric netting is often hard to keep 'short-free'.

The 55Amp/hr 9v disposable battery included in the kit is housed inside the Centaur which makes it a very neat unit, and the battery should last up to 15 weeks. Higher Amp/Hr batteries (up to 160 Amp/hr) are also available which will obviously last much longer.

The 25m netting we supply is green with black posts so it will blend into the background very well. We suggest you use one of the extra black posts to insert approx 1m from the end of the net to create a 'gateway', this will reduce wear and tear on the main netting and make access much easier. Or, a gateway is available to buy separately - see electric netting section.

Options to add to this kit are a Fence Indicator Light which flashes with the pulses of the fence, this acts as a deterrent and also gives quick visual sign that the fence is working, or, a Fence Voltage Alert which clips on to the fence and will flash if the fence is not on, or if the voltage drops below a certain level.
