Electric Netting Fence

ELECTRIC NETTING FENCE

THE GARDEN FARM SUPPLY COMPANY

OUR PROMISE IS "IF WE SELL IT, WE USE IT ON THE FARM OURSELVES"

* * * Update Regarding Availability of Electric Netting Fence * * *
We will have limited stocks of both Masterfence and Starternet available mid September.
All those customers with back orders should contact us.
The Bad News is that the manufacturer is closing down his factory and that this will be the last shipment from him.
The business has been sold offshore and future arrangements for supplies will take a considerable time to put in place.
Electranets are the best quality fences of this type available and whilst we know that there are other fences available we are not prepared to compromise by switching to brands that we know are inferior.
We greatly appreciate the loyalty of our customers and we will vigorously continue to attempt to bring you the best quality products.
Our apologies for this situation which is unfortunately beyond our control.

The world's leading multi-system electric netting.
Three wiring modes ensure it works perfectly,
even during dry periods.
By fencing the herd, mob or flock and not the paddock,
the farmer gets immense flexibility
in many fencing situations.


Untying a 50 metre roll of fence	Laying out the fence	Putting up the fence

On our farm we use Electranets Masterfence for controlling laying hens and goats on pasture and protecting them from dogs, foxes and other four-legged predators. We also use it to control hens and goats when they are moved onto spent vegetable areas to fertilise the ground and clean up plant residue.

Masterfence is 1.2 metres high and comes in 50 metre long rolls. There are 14 horizontal wires. The bottom wire which is in contact with the ground is not electrified. All the other wires are three strand stainless steel and plastic electric twine. These horizontal wires can be energised all positive (earth return) or alternately positive/earth (no earth return required). The horizontal wires are closest together at the bottom and more widely spaced at the top of the fence similar to ringlock sheep fencing. Semi rigid, polycarbonate, vertical stays are spaced every 160mm completing the mesh. 14 plastic fence posts are built into the netting to keep it vertical. The bottom of the posts are fitted with a stepped, double pin steel spike for easy installation and stability. All nets include a repair kit.

Starterfence is constructed with the verticals 80mm apart giving a smaller mesh size than Masterfence . In all other aspects it is identical to masterfence. Starterfence is used to control young pullets before they reach point of lay and their combs are not fully up. When they have been trained to the fence we can safely move them into the Masterfence. Starterfence is essential to our Day Range system of growing meat chickens.

Ducknet is used for just that. To control and protect the grazing ducks in our orchard.It is identical to Starterfence but is only 0.7 metres high making it easy to step over even when it is electrified.

Electranets are the most useful tool for the farmer. In addition to the use we put them to they can also be used for:

controlled grazing (rationed grazing) sheep, goats, cattle or geese on permanent or temporary pasture
"instant" fence for subdividing grazing of forage crops
conservation of new tree and shrub plantings from the predation of herbivores
portable boundary fence to force sheep, goats and small cattle breeds to lawn mow around sheds, machinery, vehicles, etc.
protecting sheep and goats from predators (foxes, dogs, feral pigs)
"instant" pen for poddy lambs/kids
strip grazing sod between tree and vine rows in orchards and vineyards
protecting stored feed (bales, round bales) from stock
subdividing and controlling pigs on pasture
constructing lambing enclosures which are safe from predators
portable small grass enclosures to reliably separate rams, bucks, bulls and boars from ewes, does, cows and sows
protecting beehives from stock
short-term fencing so sheep, goats and cattle can safely graze the roadside (long paddock)
protecting vegetables, flowers and young trees from wildlife and stock (kangaroos, wallabies, possums, rabbits, goats, cows, sheep stock.)
"instant" pen for geese and ducks that cannot fly
difficult zoo situations
keeping nuisance animals off golf courses.
