Frequently Asked Questions
What is positive and negative electric netting?
Positive/negative electric netting is a specialized fencing system that includes both conductor types within the net to create a direct electrical pathway. Unlike a traditional electric netting, this product does not rely on the ground to complete the circuit. Both positive and negative wires are woven into the netting to deliver an effective shock when animals make contact with it.
How does it work without grounding rods?
While traditional electric fencing relies on the soil to carry the electrical current back to the energizer, a positive-and-negative electric netting system uses opposing conductor lines to create a self-contained circuit. When any contact occurs between conductors, the circuit is completed through the fence, even when the ground conditions are less favorable.
Is positive/negative netting better than standard netting?
Yes, positive/negative netting is better than standard netting because the fencing remains effective even where soil conductivity is low. The system’s specialized design relies less on ground conditions to complete the circuit and maintains electrical consistency. This aspect is valuable for farmers seeking a reliable containment solution in rough terrain.
Can it be used in dry soil conditions?
While traditional electric fences have their limitations in dry soil environments, positive and negative electric netting is particularly beneficial for addressing this challenge. It includes both conductors to create a reliable circuit whenever an animal makes contact with the fence. In fact, the reduced reliance on soil conductivity allows it to maintain effective performance across all environmental conditions.
What animals are positive/negative netting suitable for?
Positive- and negative-electric netting solutions are generally ideal for poultry, sheep, goats, and other small animals that require temporary containment. The system’s visible structure and reliable electrical performance make it ideal for farmers looking to create movable enclosures that easily adapt to diverse farming conditions.
