Electric poultry netting

[Raisingpeeps]

Hello everyone!

We have a pre existing metal fence that we are using for our chicken run. It's six feet tall but we are considering the best way to make it predator proof. Can electrified poultry netting be used in conjunction with wire fencing? Or would hardware cloth be a better option? Thanks for your thoughts!

The poultry netting cannot touch the metal fence because it would ground out and not work. You can use insulators to put strands of electric wire on your metal fence, one about 6” up for digging predators and one higher up for climbing predators. Look on Premier’s website or give them a call. They can be quite helpful.

I’m not sure how you plan to use the hardware cloth?

I was thinking of going around the outside of fence.
