Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use a utility fence kit for?
Starkline’s utility fence kit is a versatile, pre-packaged set designed to contain sheep and goats, build garden barriers, create temporary grazing paddocks, separate livestock, or fence off specific areas during maintenance. It can also outline property lines, protect young trees, and block off hazardous areas. Note that it isn’t suitable for poultry, since the bottom openings are too large; we recommend our poultry netting instead.
Is a utility kit strong enough for livestock?
Yes, when installed and powered correctly with a compatible electric fence energizer, Starkline’s utility kit can serve as an effective barrier for sheep, goats, and other livestock. The fencing is designed to keep small animals within the boundary while offering high durability to withstand regular farm use and changing outdoor conditions.
Can utility kits protect vegetable gardens from animals?
Yes, utility kits create temporary or seasonal barriers around flower beds, vegetable gardens, orchards, and other freshly seeded areas to protect them from rabbits, raccoons, and neighborhood dogs and pets. Adding protection around the area prevents animals from entering and helps protect crops while giving property owners the flexibility to expand their gardens.
What's included in a utility kit?
Every Starkline utility kit includes the same core components: a roll of pre-wired netting, a power energizer, a ground rod, a fence tester, connector clips, and a repair kit. The only thing that varies between kits is the type of energizer included, so check the product details to confirm which one comes with your kit.
Can I combine multiple utility kits for a larger area?
Yes, you can combine multiple utility kits to fence a larger paddock or expand your enclosure. However, remember to check the power limits, connection types, and weight limits first. Matching the correct parts can keep your fencing system safe and help prevent the kits from breaking or failing due to too much load.
