Poultry net reviews

Premier is amazing stuff. I have 3 types most are over 4 years old and still like new. I use hog net for the pigs each year. Goat for the large Sannens and we have poultry net around the layers and egg mobile.

My suggestions:
1. Use a good charger
2. Keep it off the ground/away from mice when not in use.
3. Learn how to roll and unroll it via Premier’s video on YouTube. This is super important. You will invent new curse words if the netting gets tangled.
4. Buy a couple of the power links (orange alligator clips/wires). They are invaluable for connecting/disconnecting the fence from/to power source.

We’ve never lost or had any of our animals get through any of the netting, with the exception of one hog. The problem was a rookie (me trying to load them on a trailer for band camp). Have not had any predators get through any netting.

Best of luck!

I heavily invested in Premier fencing. It only works for me in the winter and early spring when the ground is very moist. Most of my property is very sandy soil and the ground just won't support it. Use it for goats and pigs.

Also, I don't recommend it for chickens. It's not high enough and the majority will jump out if they have any motivation. It's great on Youtube and mother earth news but practical application not so much in my opinion.

I've been very happy with Premier products. Depending on breed, sea2summit, has a valid point. I hate the leghorns as they do like to jump up and over more than other breeds I've had.

I bought this several years ago:
PoultryNet® Plus 12/48/3 (100' x 48" white/black roll), double spike Item #207018

I don't use it for keeping chickens in, I use it for keeping all the woodland creatures out, and it has worked very well. Make sure you get the one with extra stout and/or double the number of poles, the poles tend to bend.

Make sure your electrifier is up to the task, since the bottom line of the fence is pretty much always in the grass for me. (I take mine down and put it up every pear season, I don't keep it up year round, and while it's up it definitely makes a line of dead grass where it touches the lawn).

While it won't keep squirrels and chipmonks out, it seems to work well against the deer, porcupines, raccoons that all want my pears.

I'm planning on using it rotate them around in the orchard and garden. Using it to extend there pen.

Been using Premier 48" perma-net with heavy duty posts spaced closer together for 6-7 years. Losses went from 1-2 a month to zero in 6-7 years. I fenced in a half acre for the chickens and ducks. Make sure you use a decent charger to power it. I have a 2amp charger which maxes out my fence tester. I've seen a bear touch the fence with his nose. Ran away like a bear was chasing him! I've been shocked a couple times, won't touch it on purpose!
