Premier 1 PoultryNet® Plus, 48" H x 100'L Electric Fence Starter Kit | Extra Line Posts to Reduce Sag | Includes: Solar Energizer, FiberTuff™ Support Posts and Tester | Green/Black

There are a few things that you should be aware of.Juvenile hens can get through netting and rats can also get through. If I could make a suggestion that the mesh be made smaller. I’ve lost 2 hens to rats. What I’m thinking happens is a rat gets in, freaks the chickens out, the hens panic and bolt through any opening to get away from the murderous rat. Also when it rains, and it has rained quite a bit here this spring in NJ, the fence makes a popping/ ticking sound in the area where the fence is being grounded out by something. So trying to keep the fence from sagging is key here and it’s not easy. The hens do know to stay away from the fence when it is activated. I think they sense the electrical field. You need a grounding rod. Mine did not come with one. I used a 12” gals railroad tie spike. I think it should be longer but it’s all I had. They give you 4 sturdy support poles. I think 2 more to help prevent sag would help this situation. So I’ll be ordering more.Instruction is easy enough to follow, craftsmanship is great, the ability to move this fence is easy and makes the concept of free ranging while affording some protection is huge. I just wish it would have saved my 12 week barred rocks. The ability to connect additional fences is an easy task too. So I took away a star for the rat situation and took away the star for the fence sag/popping/grounding out situation.Here is a quick update. I had an issue with the fence not getting enough juice from the battery. It was an easy fix thanks to their amazing help desk. I updated my rating from 3 stars to 5 for that and. The fact that it’s my fault for putting hens too small in the netting pen. Net works great, nobody escapes and undesirables are staying out. Hens are large enough to not get through anymore. I used some wooden spikes to help prevent sag by studying up the fiberglass support poles.

It was sturdy well worth it so far been up on day

Great produce!

Do not like. It said free return. First, It came late and didn’t work. I return it but I didn’t give me full refund.

Does a great job of keeping predators away from my chickens. I have the 164 ft fence with charger and am very pleased

Superior customer service. Easy set up. Smaller chickens (5 weeks) could get through, but older ones can't. Would recommend.
