Frequently Asked Questions
What is electric poultry netting?
It's a portable mesh fence with vertical posts built into the net at regular intervals. An energizer sends a brief pulse through the conductors, so anything that touches the fence gets a short shock. Most people use it to contain free-ranging poultry and keep predators from getting through the perimeter. Setup and takedown are quick enough to make pasture rotation practical.
What size electric poultry netting do I need?
That depends on your flock size and the area you're working with. Standard rolls run 82 to 165 feet long, which handles most backyard setups. Larger operations typically connect multiple rolls together. Height sits around 42 to 48 inches for most products. That's tall enough for standard breeds, though flighty birds sometimes need more.
What is Positive/Negative electric poultry netting?
Standard electric fencing completes its circuit through the ground, which means soil moisture matters. Dry, sandy, or frozen soil weakens that circuit. Positive/negative netting solves it by weaving both conductor types directly into the mesh so the circuit completes on contact with the fence itself rather than relying on soil conductivity underneath.
Do I need an energizer for electric poultry netting?
Yes. The netting doesn't generate current on its own. An energizer (sometimes called a fence charger) connects to the net and delivers the pulse that makes the whole thing work. Sizing depends on total fence length and how much vegetation touches the line. An underpowered unit is one of the most common reasons netting underperforms.
How does Starkline electric poultry netting protect against predators?
The fence delivers a deterrent pulse on contact that teaches predators to stay away. Foxes, raccoons, dogs, and similar threats that touch the net typically retreat and don't come back. Keeping the voltage consistent is what makes it reliable, which means proper energizer sizing and clearing vegetation along the fence line both matter.
