Starkline's electric netting solution for areas with dry soil. Typical electric fencing relies on the grounding rod to reach areas of permanent moisture deep below ground in order to function properly. Positive/Negative netting is configured with a grounding wire on the bottom strand which contacts the steel spikes on each post to properly ground the electric fencing system in the immediate area surrounding the netting, instead of grounding the entire field. Electric Netting is completely prefabricated electric fence system rolled up into one box. No hassling with wires, connectors, or posts; meaning protecting your livestock is faster & easier than ever! Use just one net, or connect multiple nets together to create an enclosure that meets your specific needsStarkline Electric Netting is made with Cyan and White polywire. Cyan is highly visible to pasture animals, predators, and humans.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

  • Positive/Negative Netting is a great solution for areas with dry, arid soil.
  • Starkline Positive/Negative Netting includes 14 preinstalled PVC posts with heavy-duty 6 galvanized double-spiked stakes designed to provide rigid support in any environment
  • The mesh is composed of 10 horizontal strands with vertical strands evenly spaced every 7 inches
  • Simply connect the ground terminal of the fence energizer to the connection point on the bottom strand of the +/- netting, and connect the positive (+) terminal to the connection point near the top strand of the netting
  • Protects sheep, goats, & other medium to large sized livestock. Keeps out deer, bear, raccoons, rabbits, foxes, coyotes, skunks, & other ground-based animals
  • An energizer of at least .25 joules per 164ft of netting is required for the fencing to be effective. For the electric net to be fully portable, we suggest pairing with a solar energizer

Fencing

8 months ago
I’m very impressed with how easy and simple it was to hook it all up. I love how it looks in my back yard for my goats. Liked it so much I bought one for my pigs as well. Best investment and quality a little farmer could ask for. Thank you.
SweepstakesYes

Yes, I recommend this product.

Would Not buy again

8 months ago
The poles are flimsy and dont stand well if you put much tension on the fence. The bottom strand grounds out on the double spikes that hold the poles. I bought it for goats, but after having used it, I wouldn't use it for anything much bigger than chickens. Great idea, definitely room for improvement.

Great piece for any set up

11 months ago
As with any netting, it takes a bit of finesse to maneuver but once you figure a technique, you're good to go! Great product, easy to repair lines or replace poles if needed, and easy storage. Carries a current evenly and efficiently so long as you've a proper electrical unit.

Yes, I recommend this product.
