Sheep Net: Electric Netting from 90 to 170 cm for Any Field

Sheep Net: Flexible Fencing, Reliable Holding

Electric netting is the quickest way to a secure area. You roll it out, push the spikes in, hook it up to the energiser and the break is fenced. We stock 24 nets from AKO, Kerbl and Agrarzone, among them the OviNet, TitanNet and TitanLight ranges, in lengths of 25 and 50 metres and in heights from 90 to 170 centimetres.

Height, mesh and wolf protection

For ordinary flock work 90 to 108 centimetres is enough. As soon as the wolf is a subject, choose at least 120 centimetres, for instance the OviNet Maxi at 122 centimetres or the TitanNet Premium XBraid. More security again comes from 145 and 170 centimetres, as on the TitanNet 145 or the Kerbl OviNet in the 25 metre length. What decides is not only the height but also the mesh spacing at the bottom: the tighter the lower mesh, the less a lamb gets through and the harder it becomes to dig under. Nets with ground clearance, such as the EasyNet, are meant instead for areas with a lot of growth where you want to avoid leakage.

Single spike, double spike and the matter of voltage

The double spike spreads the load over two points and therefore stands far more firmly in soft, damp or freshly worked ground. On dry, firm areas the single spike is often enough, being lighter and quicker to set. Some nets bring a foot tread on the spike that makes pushing in easier. What matters with all of them is that the net stays live and stands taut. If it sags, the lowest strands lie in the grass, the voltage wanders into the growth and the net loses its effect. So keep the fence line clear and check the voltage regularly with a tester.

Frequently asked questions

What netting height do I need against the wolf?
At least 120 centimetres, better 145. Just as important is a clean finish at ground level so the net cannot be dug under.

Single spike or double spike?
Double spike in soft or freshly worked ground, because it stands firmer. Single spike on firm going when it has to go up quickly.

Why is my net losing voltage?
Usually growth is touching the lower strands or the net is sagging. Keep the fence line clear, tension it properly and check the earthing.
