To narrow down the type of fence, determine your species to contain and frequency of moves. Easy steps to ordering We sell 3 net types— 1. Pos/Pos: Single polarity fence in white/ black or green/black with strong posts. Superconductor for better electrical flow. 2. Economy/Basic. Single polarity (pos/pos) with narrow posts, lower conductivity and no struts. Similar to all non-Premier generic (farmstore) nets. 3. Positive/Negative (P/N). Dual polarity for dry conditions (more details on p. 101) . Superconductor for excellent conductivity throughout the fenceline. 2. Pick an energizer system that works for you (pp. 74–91) . Refer to our energizer section. 3. Don’t forget the support posts (pp. 116–123) . Use as needed for ends, curves, corners and major directional changes. Essential in rough, undulating terrain. With all the items above one can install most systems within 5–15 minutes. See p. 155 for installation details. 12 = 12 horizontal strands 42 = 42" high, installed 3 = vertical strands every 3" – + What’s the terrain? Choose Plus Nets if your area to be fenced has ups/downs & curves/corners. Plus Nets have a shorter distance between line posts (every 6.8 ft). Better adapts to changes in terrain. If you have flat ground, standard netting (posts spaced 10 ft or 12 ft) works well. Those who have used both almost always prefer the Plus Nets. See net diagrams below. We also recommend Plus Nets to new users. Why? The mesh between the posts is easier to manage and the rolls are shorter than standard netting. Frequency of moves? If moved daily or weekly or for fast- paced rotational grazing set-ups, a temporary fence is best. If moved monthly or less frequently, you need a semi-permanent fence. Associated with set-stocking pastures or providing a stationary run for the flock. INFORMATION THAT APPLIES TO ALL OUR NETS Pos/Neg (P/N) Nets Nets that are P/N will have this symbol. (SS) Single Spike— the best choice, unless your soils are always soft. (DS) Double Spike— for very soft soils. Push in the spikes with your foot. If soil is hard or rocky, double spikes are more difficult to install and remove. (DP) Drivable— for installing net in dry, hard or rocky soils. An illustration comparing the 3 NetPost diameters.
