Electrified Netting — Buying Guide

What Is Electrified Netting?

Electrified netting (also called electric netting, poultry netting or sheep netting) is a flexible mesh netting supported by built-in plastic posts with attached conductive horizontal strands. It is connected to an electric fence energiser to deliver a deterrent shock. The combination of physical netting and electric deterrent makes it effective for both containing livestock (chickens, ducks, sheep, goats) and excluding predators (foxes, dogs). Its portable design makes it ideal for rotational grazing, temporary paddock divisions and seasonal use.

Key Benefits

  • Portable and easy to set up — stakes and netting unfold quickly; can be moved to a new location in minutes
  • Dual containment and exclusion — physical netting plus electric deterrent provides reliable containment for most livestock and deters foxes and dogs
  • Ideal for rotational grazing — move the enclosure area regularly to manage pasture recovery and parasite control
  • No permanent infrastructure required — ideal for leased land, temporary use or properties where permanent fencing is not practical
  • Effective fox deterrent — widely used for protecting free-range poultry from fox predation overnight

Types of Electrified Netting

  • Poultry netting — finer mesh apertures for containing chickens, ducks and small birds; typically 900mm–1200mm tall
  • Sheep netting — medium mesh apertures; typically 900mm tall for lamb and sheep containment
  • Goat netting — taller, stronger netting for goat containment; typically 1050mm–1200mm tall
  • Garden/deer netting — taller netting for keeping deer and larger wildlife out of gardens and crops

Frequently Asked Questions

What energiser do I need for electrified netting?
A battery or solar energiser with at least 0.5–1.5 joule output is recommended for poultry netting. For sheep and goat netting, use 1–2 joules. Ensure the energiser can be easily transported or relocated with the netting.

How do I prevent shorting out in tall grass?
Keep the area under the netting mowed or grazed short to prevent vegetation contact, which drains energiser output. Alternatively, use an energiser with sufficient output to overcome moderate vegetation contact.
