ELECTRIC NETTING 111
Need complete instructions? • Instructions will be enclosed in the box when you receive your order. • Visit our website (video and/or written instructions are available). (right) These steps are with ElectroNet but the process is the same for all electric netting. How to Install… Why it’s easy to install… We can understand why those without experience might doubt those who say “it’s very easy.” But net actually is a product that’s easier to use than it appears— if you follow the instructions included with each net. A key to its ease and speed is that netting needs minimal tension—which means small, light posts that are both easy to carry (they’re built into the net) and easy to push or step into the soil. Site preparation… • Carry roll(s) of netting to proposed fence line. • Prepare a line by mowing or trampling down all vegetation over 4" tall. If mowing isn’t practical, use a vehicle (e.g. truck or ATV) to make a track. Then install the fence in the track. • For longer fences, we put the rolls into a vehicle and unload them as we drive along the intended fence line. Most common errors… • Not energizing it and/or using too small an energizer. Failure is almost guaranteed if it’s not energized properly. • Rolling it up like a carpet instead of first folding it up by the posts. Most of the nets we receive back from unhappy users are rolled like a carpet instead of folded— even though our instructions (which include how-to photos) are specific on this point. Installation steps… 1. Unroll and unfold the net. 2. Push in the posts. 3. Join the 2 rolls (as needed) . 4. Install additional support posts as needed. We suggest our FiberTuff posts. See details on pp. 122–123. 5. Connect energizer. Check the voltage. Even for new users, it takes less than 10 minutes to go from a roll of out-of-the-box netting to installed net.
