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 (see more information on p. 102). ElectroNet ® Plus 9/35/12 Identical 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 . 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 white/black 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
Netting’s actual uses almost always
exceed the purposes for which it was
originally purchased.
• Strip-graze pastures.
• As an interim fence until a more
permanent fence can be built.
• Enclose rams, buck/billy goats.
• Make small pastures for animals
that need attention (ewes/does/
nannies with triplets; 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.
• Install 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 daily or
weekly—thus reducing the length
of net needed for only a limited area
instead of an entire pasture.

How does Sheep & Goat Net 8/35/6 compare to ElectroNet 9/35/12? • 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. • 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. • Verticals occur every 6" instead of 12". • One less energized horizontal strand (7 vs 8). • Less expensive. • Yellow/white instead of white/black.Note: We’re aware that the lower price of Sheep & Goat
Net may encourage folks to choose this product.
Please think carefully before you do so. Customers who
are unhappy with netting are usually those who’ve chosen
it or its farmstore/catalog equivalents.
So why do we offer it? Because, unlike our other nets, it
is similar (posts, conductivity, design) to nets from other
sources. Comparisons of like items make decisions easier.
