Fencing for the Hobby Farmer and the Professional Free-Range Farmer
If you are looking for an electric fence kit then you have come to the right place. We are the leading Australian importer of all poultry related fence kits. All of our netting is imported from Germany and we combine this with genuine Australian-made fence energisers from Thunderbird in Mudgee NSW.
Our kits come in an unrivalled number of product options – everything from “Heavy Duty” poulty fencing, to light grade goat fencing. We stock the full range of Thunderbird Solar Energisers to power any kit.
So how does this kit stop predators?
Poultry and Goat netting is made from polyurethane with metal filaments running through the horizontal strands (apart from the bottom base line). PVC posts are part of the kit and hold the net in position. To ‘charge’ the poultry netting an energiser is connected to the net and to the ground via an earth stake. This forms an open circuit. When the predator touches any part of the net they close the curcuit and get the electric shock. This shock frightens the predator away as they have no understanding of what just happened to them.
Electric Fencing Kit – Poultry 25m
The smallest kit that we offer is the 25m kit for poultry. This kit is the one you select if you only have half a dozen chooks to contain. This kit is often used by vege gardeners to keep the chickens in a certain patch for a certain period of time. It’s also a great way to keep the dogs away from the chooks!
The electric fence kit contains the following items:
- A 25m roll of poultry netting – 120cm tall, double prong posts
- An earth stake
- A Thunderbird Solar Energiser
When you click through to the description of the electric fence kit, you will notice that it is possible to upgrade the energiser to a more powerful unit or add a “hot gate” for ease of access.
Electric Poultry Fence Kit – Poultry 100m
Probably our most popular electric fence kit is the 100m poultry netting kit. This kit allows the enclosure of just over 600 square metres of space, which is a big space for around 100 or more chickens. The electric fence kit contains the following items:
- 2 x 50m rolls of poultry netting – 110 or 120cm tall, double prong posts
- An earth stake
- A Thunderbird Solar Energiser
This electric fence kit is completely customizable. You have a choice of different fence heights, post thicknesses, and energisers. Probably the most important thing to get right the first time is to ensure that you purchase an energiser capable of powering the electric fence kit you plan to have in the long run rather than the one you need today.
