This is a superb combination of energiser and poultry net that we had on for a limited time but proved so popular that we've brought it back and added options to ugrade to larger fence energisers and a net with double spiked posts throughout.

This kit comprises of two mains parts which will suit just about everyone looking for a small, inexpensive kit that you can set up in no time at all.

The 110cm tall electric netting is one of our 25m chicken nets which are excellent quality and give terrific protection to your birds. This netting has 12 horizontal lines with the top 11 being electrifiable. The bottom line just sits on the grass and remains unpowered. All these lines meet up at each end of the net andwhere they run iup the end posts and form into a couple of tails. These tails have clips on them so you can join several fencing nets together or a net gate.

The gaps between the horizontal lines is very small at the bottom (only 5cm high) so even very young birds won't escape and they get slightly larger as the netting gets higher.

There is no better method of keeping foxes out of your chicken pen AND keeping the birds contained in a certain area.

There are 9 posts that are already in situ but they can be moved up or down the fenceline if needbe and more can be added if you find you need more. Please get in touch for details.

The Gemini 40 energiser is a 0.45 output joule fencer which is more than adaquate to power a few nets of this size but so even if there is a wee bit of leakage here and there like grass gowing into it or the net sags a bit, this unit has the reserves of power to cope. It won't push a pulse through a jungle but that bit extra oomph may come in more than handy. The option is available at the top of the page to upgrade the energiser to a larger model if you'd like greater power protecting your chickens. The other options are the Gemini 80 which has 0.8 outpout joules and the Gemini 120 which has 1.2 output joules. All energisers are from Hotline and come with a 2yr guarantee.

We include a 1m long earth stake with this kit and seeing as a good earth is the most important thing (accounts for around 85% of an electric fences efficiency) it's unlikely that the shock felt by a hungry fox will be reduced through a poor earth.

Also the energiser is dual power so if you want to run it from a 12v battery then you can and similarly if you'd like to run it from the mains then just changed the adaper cables (both supplied) over and away you go. Perfect if you move your poultry scratching pen around and it's sometimes close to a power source. Additional insulated cable can be used when wish to run it from the mains but have a distance to go to reach either the fence or the earth stake from where the unit is mounted.

An upgrade to a have your poultry fencing kit with a double spiked net is available and we'd recommend this to anyone who's pen is to be an irregular shape or has curved edges as the spikes have a far better grip on the ground than single spikes. More information on a the single spike pioultry net that comes with the kit is here and you can read about the double spiked chicken net here

We'll also enclose a tester so you know your fence is working fine.

Please Note: We now have in stock our EXTRA STRONG POULTRY NETTING CORNER POSTS which provide excellent support for the corners of the netting and can provide a gateway too. While the flexiposts used throughout the net are fine for keeping the net supported they are not as robust at keeping the netting taught at the corners so some customers have used these with excellent results. By adding these EXTRA THICK & DOUBLE SPIKED POSTS to the corners they considerably help keeping the poultry netting from sagging. Also by putting an addition extra strong post about 1m from the end, you can open and close your electric net without releasing any tension anywhere along the line.
