Sheep Net: The Flexible and Secure Pasture Fence

Sheep Net: Mobile and Safe Fencing for Your Flock

The right electric net is the core of successful pasture management. A high-quality sheep net gives you the necessary flexibility to move your animals quickly and easily to fresh grass. At the same time, it reliably protects the flock from external dangers and ensures that the animals remain peacefully in their designated area.

High Herding Security Despite Thick Wool

Sheep wool is an excellent insulator. This means that an ordinary fence is often not enough to keep the animals at a safe distance. Special sheep nets therefore feature excellent electrical conductivity and closely spaced strands in the lower section. This ensures that the electrical impulse reliably reaches the skin, even through a dense fleece, and the animals accept the fence as a clear boundary.

Fast Assembly and Disassembly

A huge advantage of electric nets is their enormous mobility. The sturdy plastic posts are already firmly integrated into the netting. This allows you to simply unroll the fence, tension it, and step it into the ground without any additional tools. This makes moving the paddock on a regular basis immensely easier and saves you valuable working time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the bottom strand of the net often not electrified?
The bottom strand rests directly on the ground. If it were electrified, growing grass or damp soil would immediately ground the current. The insulation ensures that the full voltage is maintained in the rest of the net.

When do I choose a single prong and when a double prong?
Posts with a double prong are much easier to step into soft or uneven ground with your foot and offer significantly more stability there. Single prongs, on the other hand, are the better choice for very hard or stony ground, as they can be pushed into small crevices more easily.

How high should an electric net for sheep be?
A standard height of 90 cm is usually quite sufficient for simply fencing in the flock. However, if you want to actively protect your animals from predators such as wolves, you should opt for special wolf protection nets with a height of 106 cm or 122 cm.
