At the corners, pull up the
slack firmly and insert corner
post with positive lean away from
the direction of the fence. Use
your foot to pull and keep tension
on the bottom strands.

Electric Netting
How to Install Electric Netting
1
Unpack the net keeping the
repair kit and sign in a safe
place. Disconnect net connection
clips. Grab all posts and stand up
letting the net roll away from you.
8
Connect energizer’s fence lead
to a metal tab at the top of an
end post. Clip the ground lead to
your ground rod or to the metal
tab at the bottom of the net if using
Quick Ground net. Net does not
need to connect back on itself.
2
Select the end post that
most easily comes away
from the stack and insert into
the ground leaning away from
the direction of the fence line.
5
Once the start, end, and
corner posts are in place, go
back and insert the line posts.
Watch that the bottom conductive
wire does not contact the post
spike. Before turning it on, check
the fence for direct shorts.
3
Form the perimeter of
your fence by walking
backwards and giving each
post a little toss onto the
ground being careful not to
snag the draped net below.
7
Excess net can be doubled
back on itself or overlap.
Use a FiberTuff™ post if an
inline post does not meet your
starting post evenly. Do not
leave partially rolled up.
6
If you are connecting two
or more nets together,
be sure to have an end post
with tie strings next to a post
without strings, and connect
the metal tabs together.
9
Turn on the energizer and
test the voltage. Be sure you
have sufficient grounding.
Ideally,
a ground field should have as little
voltage as possible. 0 volts in the
ground usually indicates max
voltage is going into the fence.
See inset photo above.
10
To take down or move
net, collect posts in the
reverse order in which they
were installed, holding the
posts horizontally and allowing
the net to loop towards the
ground.
12
Gather posts together
and then roll from the
net end toward the posts and
tie up with original strings. For
end-of-season storage, store
net off the ground and out of
the sun with a couple of dryer
sheets to discourage rodents
from nesting and chewing.
11
If immediately
reinstalling net on a
nearby plot, we recommend
transporting rolls by holding the
posts on your shoulder by your
neck and lifting your elbow high
to raise the net off the ground.
This will avoid the net catching
on vegetation as you walk.
