Love your videos, I just received 100 ft starter kit of the 42 inch plus another 100 ft roll of the green and black for next summers garden. It is 65 by 35 ft. I am going to put a t post about 2 ft back from each corner then run a single electric line about 5 ft high tied in to the premier fence with the connector clips. I have been using reg wire chicken netting 2 ft high for years. Have problems with dogs and rabbits getting in my garden and the 5 ft electric strand has worked great for years. But what a pain rolling out that chicken wire. Can not wait to use next year with the new solar charger. Now the critters will be zapped 24/7. Will have to get use to turning off charger, do not want to be a victim myself. Keep up the great videos.

I purchased 4 rolls of 100' each plus a 8' gate and put it up by myself. I did take my lawn mower (raised the blades) to cut the grass to be less than 4". I unrolled the fence and laid it on the ground and then started putting the stakes in the ground. I do recommend the 48' over the 42" and if you can get the stakes closer together like 6-7' that really does work better to prevent sagging. I am out in the country, and I am trying to keep the coyotes out and my chickens in and so far, so good. My cats took a bit to figure out that the fence is live. I am using the solar electric version on low during the day and on high at night.

That poultry net has a problem with grounding due to growing groundcover... My suggestion is add some cardboard under the netting on the mowed perimeter for more insulation. BTW, my suggestion is to add a light to the system that you can see both day and night so you can visually check if the fence is on. This can eliminate accidental shocks AND can help at night when you walk by and notice the power is off so you can fix it before the goats get out or the coyotes get in.

Best part of this video was you showing your Swiss Army knife!! I have one with several useful tools that I use daily!! My friends who “like knives” think it’s worthless until they don’t have ANY of the tools I’ve got. If you’re reading this, go buy the deluxe right now and keep up with it better than your wallet. You’re welcome.

So if you you will stretch it out FIRST around the entire perimeter where you want it, then put both end poles in the ground, you can install it by yourself AND it takes out any guess work. Just stretch and put the poles in the ground as you go! Viola! But you get a 👍🏻 from me for the great review and the mole. Lol 😘

I got two 150 foot for my garden and Wow I love mine!!!! premire One yessss

[emmanelson]

Mine learned to go under it adding ground pegs and a peice of aluminum wire electrified around the bottom also use extra plastic fence post too pick up the sag

[IslandZsurvivor]

from what ive seen that stuff is great!....if you want to do it solo..you unroll it flat on the ground all the way..and then step the posts in as you go(from what ive seen on youtube)...good luck with them..

"I have never even seen a mole that close". You still haven't seen a mole. (Love your delivery, and the way you explain what you are doing.)

Love the goats. I had goats in the past. I would feed every afternoon. I would feed just shell corn. One scoop was all it took. My goats could walk through my fence anytime. But would always be home at feeding time. Good luck, I like the goat fence

[bradwaters]

Very funny at end with go stuck!! I laughed so hard. Thanks for videos!!
Found field wire works best for goats.

Love the Whoooo. At the beginning of this video. And the guitar. Hi from Australia. And this video was helpful in me Makin a decision to buy an electric fence. We have wild dogs in the bush in Australia. They come into our small town apparently at night. In packs. I want to ensure if I invest in chickens. They’ll survive.

I talked to a old goat rancher once trying to get pointers on raising goats. He told me that unless you can build a fence that will hold water then maybe it will hold goats. He was right!!!!

[johnwalker]

electronet is great. been using it for 10 years at least. you need fiber posts for your corners. it will make the fence much more solid.

[timpike]

Very informative video. You are lucky to have a neighbor like Poncho! So, after 5 years are you still using this and have you ever used it in wooded areas?

[jamielynn]

Ive been using these for almost ten year.. well 8 at least. I can't remember when we bought the first one. We now own like twenty to thirty lengths (a few don't work because my hubs hit them with the tractor or weedwacker *facepalm*. To keep the elk and larger predators like bear away from our animals: we hooked them up to a VERY strong charger that us usually used for large cattle. We run eight fences strung together which we move around to rotate. It works VERY VERY well and it isn't hard to move. We did however replace the posts with MUCH stronger ones with these neat loops and 'stoping pads' at the bottom that make getting then in and out of the ground much easier.. THAT makes a HUGE difference.

This fence works well in good weather. But ice and snow cause issues with keeping it up and anything inside of it. And you do have to take the charger in the house and charge it up if you have several days with little sun.

I know it's been a while since you posted this but I was hoping to see a little detail on how to attach the fence to existing electric fence. I looked through your catalog for this but couldn't find it. Any chance I missed it or that you could show a quick tutorial? Thank you so much!
