Poultry Fence Set: Netting and energiser in one pack, ready to go

Poultry Fence Set: Everything for a safe run

If you are putting up an electric fence for chickens for the first time, a poultry fence set is the easiest way to start. Netting and energiser are matched to each other, so you do not have to hunt for individual parts. Our Agrarzone sets contain poultry netting measuring 50 m x 112 cm and, depending on the version, a combination unit for 12 V and 230 V, a 230 V mains unit with 5.5 joules or a solar unit.

Which energiser suits you?

If you have a socket nearby, a 230 V mains energiser such as the N3500 is the most convenient option. It works around the clock without changing batteries. The DUO 1500 runs on 230 V or a 12 V battery, so it stays flexible if you move the run further away. The Sun Power S1500 Solar is designed for meadows without a power supply and draws its energy from the sun. The AKO All-in-One set with 50 m of netting is another ready-to-use option. Think about where the run will be in a year's time too, so the energiser still fits if you move it.

Setting up and earthing

You put up the netting with its built-in posts without any tools. Good earthing is essential for it to work: the earth rod goes into moist ground so the circuit closes through the animal and the soil. After setting up, check the voltage on the netting and keep the vegetation underneath short. That way your run is ready and safe in no time. A warning sign on the fence lets neighbours and visitors know that it is electrified.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 50 m poultry fence set enough for my chickens?
With 50 m of netting you can fence around 150 square metres, which gives a small group of hens a good run. For larger areas you can extend the set with more netting, as long as the energiser has enough power.

Does a solar fence energiser work in winter?
Yes, although the sun provides less energy in winter. Point the solar panel south if possible and keep it clear of snow, so the battery charges enough even on short days.

Is the current on poultry netting dangerous for children?
Fence energisers send out short pulses that are unpleasant but not dangerous. A warning sign on the fence and a clear word with children make sure nobody touches it by accident.
