Starkline Electric Netting (42" x 164') Electric Fence for Backyards, Homesteads, Gardens, Farms, and Ranches (10/42/7)

We have several of these and love them! We have started a homestead and frequently rotate our pigs for land clearing, nutrition/forage and because they are little bulldozers. Granted, when moving them there is a slight learning curve on not getting them tangled but it really only takes once to figure out. We check for grounding daily because that's just what pigs do and move a stake here and there to make sure it remains taught. For the parts of the horse pasture it covers, this is a non issue and all the animals respect the fence. The added bonus is that it also keeps the heavy predator load we have here away from the animals. We also rescue some unferfed and downright malnourished and sometimes abused horses. These allow us to create rehab paddocks when needed to give them turn our, but also restrict too much movement when medically necessary so they aren't cooped up.innstalls all day. Overall, I highly recommend these for multiple uses. It's a great product and while some may gripe about them being hard to work with or requiring hours of untangling, we have not run into such issues and it gives us the freedom to install temporary fences where needed or even extend the time we need to create more permanent fencing as hogs weighing in at about 400# and horses upto about 1500# alike all respect the fence and it keeps them relatively safe on a property with predator load including bear, mountain lion, coyote and the like.

These have been a real game changer for me with my goats. I did listen to the cautionary tale of horned goats getting tangled in the netting and made sure to carefully observe the one horned goat I have for a few days before turning her loose with it. My dog and my goats all agree that the fence carries a shock well! Once I got the hang of gathering up the posts to relocate the fence, moving it became a breeze. I'm still working on the "how much area can I cover" learning curve in non-linear areas, but a surveyor's wheel helps a ton with that. I've only managed to break one post in the few months I've been using these, but I have a suspicion it's because I totally spaced hooking up a section that wasn't connected to the other sections (haha, oops...) and my goats beat that section up a bit. I feel like the posts may have a weak point where they connect to the base. I did receive the wrong item on one shipment (smaller length of fence), but the company immediately remedied the situation. I'm very pleased with my choice!

This netting is great! I have kiko goats who I use to clean up areas that I don’t want a permanent fence by. I was skeptical at first since I live in an area that has blackberry bushes as undergrowth. The netting was easy to maneuver around orchard trees and with the length I can make a mighty good fence. I bought some random connectors for a quick hook up to my regular fence (they look like jumper cables with a single attachment alligator clip on each side). The only pain is moving a massive amount of fence and connected posts. It’s a nightmare to fight blackberries while I’m trying to roll it up or unroll it. For those cases I would recommend the 50’ roll and connect them together. Well worth the price!

Worked great the forest year but the charger didn’t work the next year. I did leave it out through the winter.

My husband and put this up in about 30 mins in our initial set up. It held our goats in really well. One goat jumped out at certain spot that was lower and she jumped on to the porch in the pic, but we got her back in and fixed the low spot. She has not got out since and our other 2 never got out. We had it up for like a week. When we first put them, I saw one of the goats touch and the jump back after getting a shock. I have heard from other goat farmers that electric fences can be ineffective for goats but this one works. Now we moved it to a different spot. It took us about 20 mins to move it. Next time I think it will take even less time to move it. As we get a process down. Pros: easy set up and easy to take down and move, keeps goats in Cons: the pen is small

I'm happy with this net fence. It was easy to set up and electrify. It is easy to move too when grazing is done in one spot. We are using it with our four horses. Just have two people to put it up because it can easily tangle.

We are a medium size farm and raise a lot of poultry for consumption. Our Pyrenees who lives with the poultry is a wanderer. We had tried standard hotwire fence but she was jump in between, over or dig under the hotwire. We needed something different to keep her inside with her poultry friends. So we gave this a shot. It arrived early, in good shape. Took 10 minutes to set up and we put her and her chicken friends into the netting. It took 1 touch, 1 shock to teach her not to go near the fence. It's only been up 24 hours but she hasn't been able to get out and stays far from the fence. I plan to order several more to use for the hogs, sheep and goats we have. This does not work on poultry. The holes are to large, xl duel process chickens, xl ducks and Cornish crosses all get stick in the holes and need help getting out. If they don't, they will die from being shocked to many times. We will be trying a poultry netting this brand offers to swap out and help keep everyone in. We do use a solar charger and a Cooper rebar ground. The key is getting the ground 3 feet into the ground and wetting the soil around the ground. The water helps it conduct stronger.

This is a GREAT fence. Not as tall as I thought it would be but it is strong enough to keep all the pushy fence testing animals contained while I grow pasture grass. The great pyrenees touched it once and hasn't been within 5ft of since. My big bulldozer of a horse that has to have 7ft tall regular pasture fence, does not even try to test it as one good shock was enough. I use my Solar six volt Parmak to electrify, works super well. This fence is definitely NOT for small poultry though. Turkeys and geese would do fine but holes are too big for chicken and small ducks.
