Tip: Place end posts carefully
The end post of electrified netting should
not touch a building, concrete or a wood or
steel post. Install it at least 1" to 3" away.
We suggest installing PermaNet
with 2 people because…
PermaNet’s width and height
plus the larger, heavier posts can be
cumbersome to handle.
That makes it more difficult to
install—which explains why this is a
semi-permanent fence.
Of course, it can be handled,
installed and removed by one person
(I’ve often done it; I’m 6 ft and 200
lbs), but having a person on each end
of the posts doubles the productivity
and makes it a pleasant process.
Pushing or stepping posts into
the soil is still a one-person task—
although this takes more effort and
time because the spikes are both
thicker and longer.
Pulling the posts out of the soil is
also a one-person task.
Weed issues
Weeds must be controlled for
PermaNet to remain effective.
Either move and mow as needed
during growing season or spray
herbicide along the bottom strand of
the net. If you can’t or won’t do this,
PermaNet 12/48/3 will disappoint you.
1. Measure the fence line.
2. Choose the length and the amount
of netting needed.
Example: A 150 ft fence requires one
100 ft net and one 50 ft net.
3. Choose either:
a. Netting only—(at right) does not
include accessories. You will need a
suitable (large enough) energizer.
b. Netting and Energizer Kit— Order
net only and energizer kit (at right).
4. Choose support posts—
As needed for ends, curves and
corners. We use steel posts with tie
strings, 48" FiberTuff (p. 50) support
posts or 6 ft long 11/16" dia FiberRods
(sold on our website).
(above) Geese are helpful in orchards to control grass and weeds. Use netting to protect the geese from
predators and to section off areas for grazing.
