Plus Net vs Standard Net
The key difference?
Plus nets have added posts, which
means a shorter distance between
line posts.
More posts mean less sagging
between posts. Those who have
used both almost always prefer the
Plus Nets.
Why do we offer both?
1. Standard is less expensive
2. Many like standard netting.
3. Users who own Plus nets seem
very pleased with it (as are we).
So we continue to supply both.
Quick notes…
1. PoultryNet Plus and PermaNet
Plus nets use the same mesh
design as standard PoultryNet.
2. Added posts = added weight.
To make the rolls easier to
handle, we shortened the
lengths to 50 ft and 100 ft rolls
(instead of 82 ft and 164 ft rolls).
Plus nets
(6'8" between posts)
Standard nets
(12' between posts)
When Plus nets excel…
1. For fences that involve curves,
corners and directional change.
Added posts enable the fence to
better adapt to corners and curves
with minimal sagging.
FiberTuff support posts are still
recommended at 90º corners.
2. When aesthetics are a concern.
Less sagging = more eye appeal.
3. When netting will not be moved.
Drawbacks of Plus nets…
1. Heavier and bulkier per foot of
linear length than standard nets.
2. More expensive (more posts).
3. The extra posts make the fence
more work to move.
When to use Standard nets…
1. The fence line is a straight with no
curves. Purchase additional posts
for corner support.
2. The energizer is strong enough to
cope with more grass contact.
This chicken run is made with a Plus net and Premier’s PRS solar
energizer. Notice the lack of sag between posts.
Use standard nets for fences with few curves and corners.
(below) Plus net in the foreground has almost twice as many posts as the Standard nets
in the background.
This reduces the sagging between the posts and decreases the possibility of energized
wires contacting the soil or wet, damp grass.
