35" Sheep &Goat Netting
Temporary
ElectroNet ® 9/35/12 • 9 horizontal strands. • 35" tall. • Vertical struts every 12". • Posts (built-in) every 12.5 ft, .50" dia. • Post spikes (SS or DS) .26" dia, 6" long. • Drivable Post (DP) version available. New! Drivable Posts… • Post can be pounded in with a dead- blow hammer or mallet. • .75 dia post with fiberglass cables. • Brown drive-cap to easily determine which posts are drivable. • Single spike only. ElectroNet ® Plus 9/35/12Identical to ElectroNet except
line posts
are every 6.8 ft instead of 12.5 ft.
Net is less
prone to sag. Adapts easier to uneven
terrain
(see p. 107).
However, extra posts make netting
heavier—so we also shortened the roll
lengths to 50 ft and 100 ft long to make the
fence more manageable.
When installed and energized properly,
ElectroNet is a nearly impenetrable mesh
to sheep, goats, coyotes and dogs.
Contrasting black/white color
provides 24/7 visibility to animals
against all backgrounds.
Its very low electrical resistance (38
ohms/1000 ft) is important for fences that
are either long or will experience high
weed contact.
The Pos/Neg version is recommended
for dry (grass turns brown for 4 weeks or
longer) or snow-covered sites.
Uses
Actual uses almost always exceed the
purposes for which it’s purchased.
• Strip-graze pastures, turnips and rape.
• As an interim fence until a more
permanent fence can be built.
New! Electric Sheep Net 8/35/6 • 8 horizontal strands. • 35" tall. • Vertical strings every 6". • Posts (built-in) every 13.5 ft, .50 dia. • Post spikes (SS) .26" dia, 6" long. • Yellow and white.How does Electric Sheep Net 8/35/6
compare to ElectroNet?
• Has string verticals instead of
plastic struts. So it is:
a
More prone to sagging.
a
More likely to tangle and bunch
when installing and removing.
• Has verticals occur every 6" instead
of 12".
• Has one less energized horizontal
strand (7 vs 8).
• Electrical resistance (380 ohms/1000
ft) is 10 times higher. So it is not
advised for fences longer than 2 to 3
rolls or for fences exposed to heavy
weed load.
• Is less expensive.
• Yellow/white instead of white/black.
• Enclose rams and buck/billy goats.
• Make small pastures for animals that
need attention (ewes/does/nannies
with triplets; or injured, stressed or
poor-doing animals).
• Keep coyotes, dogs and bears out.
• Keep domestic dogs in.
• Graze orchards and vineyards.
• Make lanes for moving animals.
• Water gaps that work.
• Protect outdoor hay supplies.
• Graze stockpiled forage on hay fields
in late fall and early winter.
Because it’s so easy to install and
remove, many move netting weekly—
thus reducing the length of net needed
for only a limited area instead of an
entire pasture.

Think carefully before you do so. Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen its
farmstore/catalog equivalents.
