How Electric Fence Works

Instructions/Diagrams
A portable 30" tall electric perimeter or subdivision fence for pastured pigs.

It's easier to install and remove than multiple strands of electric wire on posts and far more effective and reliable. Much easier to handle than heavy welded wire panels and T posts.

The bottom strand is 6 in. above the ground to prevent domestic pigs from rooting soil onto the fence and shorting it out. Users can slide the lower strand up if desired. High conductivity (only 33 ohms of resistance/1000 ft) ensures a strong, uniform pulse from end to end.

Common Uses

  • As a perimeter or subdivision fence for pastured pigs.
  • Allows pigs to forage gardens, orchards and fields after harvest.
  • Replaces welded wire panels, which are heavy, not easy to move and more expensive per ft.

Training domestic pigs to electric fence…

Experience suggests that domestic pigs need to be trained to electric fence.

Why?
Because pigs new to electric fence may decide to respond like pigs—and charge forward through the fence instead of backing away.
How?
Set up an electric fence alongside (1 to 2 ft away) a secure permanent fence that the pigs can't get through. Make sure the fence is electrified—at least 3000v at the end of fence. Introduce the pigs to the fence. Monitor the pigs for a few hours.

Note: Failing to train domestic pigs to electric fences can be expensive—damage to the fence plus the damage the escaped pigs might create.

To Install

The same “unroll and then unfold” process applies to all electrified nets. Minimal strength or skill needed (and no tools). Extra supports such as FiberTuff™ step-in posts are useful at corners, curves and ends. You will need a fence energizer to electrify the net.

Even for new users, it takes less than 10 minutes to go from out-of-the-box netting to installed fence. And it’s durable! Nets last over 10 seasons if used and stored properly. (Its mortal enemy is errant lawn mowers!)

How To Purchase

  1. Measure the fence line.
  2. Choose the length and the amount of netting needed. (Example: A 250 ft fence requires two 100 ft net and one 50 ft net.)
  3. Choose from:

We offer many fences to fit your situation, including different heights and lengths, multiple colors, drivable posts and positive/negative options for dry soils. Questions? Call our fence consultants at 800-282-6631 for expert advice.

Precautions

Electric fence is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. A common mistake is not electrifying it. Animals may escape or become entangled (and may die). On a % basis, entanglement is very rare, but it can and does occur. If animals are scared or starved it will not keep them in. The first time you put the animals in the net, you should be available to watch them for a while. That way if one were to get into the fence and get caught, you can turn the power off and get them loose.

Warning! Due to risk of fire, do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting or electro-plastic conductors such as rope, twine or tape. Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. (Fi-Shock™ brand energizers which are sold as low impedance, continuous current output should NOT be used with electric netting.) All energizers sold on Premier’s website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for use with electric netting.

Dry conditions and wintertime usage may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing. Ice and heavy snow can flatten netting and thereby damage it.

Dry or frozen ground may cause post spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed. We recommend using drivable or single spike posts in hard soils. Double spike posts provide more stability when the ground is soft.
