Anyone else use electro net fencing for their livestock? What’s your method for energizing the fence? Solar array, wired from grid connection, rechargeable batteries, etc? #permaculture #homesteading #grownostr

We’ve used an electrolyzed poultry net for the past 3 years, with our Chickens! It’s been awesome - only lost one chook to predators and that was a hawk!! We use a small energizer with a long wire that we can run to anywhere in our yard, as we rotate the chickens. It wouldn’t take much to build a small solar unit to make it mobile, though. Cheaper than pre-made solar energizer for sure. #permaculture #grownostr
Nice I was thinking about the wire from energizer to fence setup too. What type of wire do you use to make the connection?
Grid powered AC energizer.
I put up a “Highline” from my barn where the energizer is located to the paddock areas. Allows me to use equipment and not have to worry about the wire path.
I have photos on my pc but not the phone.
Basically a chain link top rail driven into the ground with a piece of pvc pipe on top to hold the wire. It puts the wire over 10 Ft high.
Dm me and I will get pics.
