48 WILDLIFE BARRIER FENCES
• Has large, strong posts • Stops wide range of animals Key Facts • Designed to stay in one place for months at a time. • Has strong posts with long, thick, steel ground spikes to support the net through wind and snow. • Though all PermaNet designs are a barrier to raccoons, coyotes, most deer, bears, dogs and larger livestock, PermaNet designs with verticals every 3" are also effective to stop rabbits, woodchucks, opossums, skunks, chickens, domesticated ducks and geese. • A very good conductor. High conductivity enables the pulse energy to remain high on fences that have high grass contact. Recommendations • Installs like all netting —but it’s easier with 2 people (above right) because the posts are tall/long and the rolls are heavier. • If the soil is soft, the line posts can be pushed in by hand (or by foot for double-spike posts). • If the soil is hard, you will need to make a starter hole with a hammer, screwdriver or drill bit. • A large energizer (in joules of output) is required to combat the energy leakage of weed contact on these fences—particularly if you don’t spray to kill the weeds under the fence (see p. 113) . Cost PermaNet ® Plus 12/48/3 (DS) Double Spike—$1.93 per ft (SS) Single Spike—$1.83 per ft Helpful hints— If you are interested in excluding only deer, see p. 47. We recommend this net if you are interested in excluding both small critters and deer. To aid in deterring deer, we suggest using an outside electrified strand—this would mimic our 3D deer fence design.
