www.premier1supplies.com • 1-800-282-6631 Premier Netting Data Chart 1. Installed height— in inches. 2. Netting name and number Example: ElectroNet 9/35/12 9 = number of horizontals 35 = installed height (inches) 12 = distance (inches) between verticals (SS) = Single Spike Post (DS) = Double Spike Post (DP) = Drivable (with a single spike) Post For easy identification—Drivable Post caps are brown in color, not black like the SS or DS. (PN) = Pos/Neg. Horizontals are “wired” as 2 separate circuits—for use where the soil surface resistance is high (brown grass, drylots or snow). 3. Item number— use when ordering. 4. Cost per roll— includes line posts. 5. Price per foot— use for cost comparisons only! Netting is only sold in full rolls. 6. Roll length— in feet from end to end. 7. Type and color of verticals and posts Strings or plastic struts — (first word) . See photos at right. Color of vertical — (second word) . Color of post — (third word) . 8. Post spacing and diameter Post spacing (in feet) — (first number) distance between the posts. Diameter — (second number) outer diameter of each post. See p. 103. 9. Color and number of conductive strands Color —indicates strand color. Number of conductive strands —number of strands that are conductive (carry a pulse). 10. Post spike length and diameter Post spike length (in inches) — (first number). The length of the steel that goes into the soil. Longer spikes provide more support in soft soils but can be more difficult to push or step into hard soils. Steel spike diameter (in inches) — (second number) . Larger is stronger but also harder to push into soil. 11. Distance between verticals Closer spacing is a better barrier for small or young animals. But closer vertical spacing means more weight, more prone to sagging between posts and more expensive to buy. 12. Horizontal spacing (inches) from bottom to top • Indicates vertical space between each horizontal strand. Close bottom spacing is better for small animals. • On the other hand, conductive strands that are closer to the soil will leak away much more pulse energy when green vegetation touches a strand. 13. Electrical resistance ohms ( Ω )/1000 ft • Very important. Smaller numbers mean less resistance and better conductivity. 100 ohms is twice as conductive as 200 ohms. • Less resistance means an energizer’s pulse can pass through a net(s) with less loss of energy. • Less energy loss means more pulse energy will pass through the animal and through any green vegetation that touches the net. • Nets with smaller ohm numbers are better for long fences and/or fences that will encounter high weed contact. 14.
