RULES OF ELECTRIC NETTING
1. Electrify your fence!Electric fence is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. If you do not
keep the fence energized at all times, your animals will lose fear of it. Then they will go over,
under or through it-risking entanglement (and possibly death). Retraining is difficult.
2. Ensure the voltage is at least 3000V at the end of the fence line. (150 ft of netting
typically requires at least 0.25 joules of output.) Energized fences last longer and require
less maintenance-because animals do not crowd, rub or scratch on them.
3. Introduce animals new to electric fence by first installing the properly electrified
temporary net inside a permanent corral. The permanent barrier will prevent them from
jumping forward when they check it with their sensitive noses and receive a memorable
electric shock. The pain encourages the animals to avoid future contact.
WARNING:
Ignoring the rules may result in escaped or entangled animals. On a % basis, entanglement
is very rare. But it does occur and may result in death. Properly installing,electrifying and
training animals reduces this risk.Remember! If animals are scared or starved it will not
keep them in.
