Opsætningsinstruktioner

The Gallagher Electric Net Fence is designed for quick and easy installation without the need for special tools. Follow these steps for optimal setup:

1. Unroll the Netting: Carefully unroll the 164-foot netting in the desired area. The fence comes pre-assembled with posts built into the mesh every 12.5 feet.
2. Placer stolperne: Each post features large white plastic vertical struts every 12 inches. Ensure these are upright and properly spaced.
3. Secure Posts into Ground: Utilize the double spike step-in posts with foot grips to firmly push each post into the ground. This design ensures stability and ease of installation.
4. Connect Multiple Nets (Optional): If a larger enclosure is needed, multiple nets can be connected. The durable carrying straps on the fence posts can double as fence connectors, ensuring a secure and continuous barrier.
5. Energize the Fence: Connect the electric net to a suitable energizer (sold separately). Ensure the energizer is appropriate for the length and type of fence to maintain consistent voltage.

Driftsprincipper

The Gallagher Electric Net Fence provides an effective and highly visible barrier for livestock and garden protection. Its design ensures reliable performance:

• Høj synlighed: The white and orange coloring of the netting ensures 24/7 visibility for both animals and humans, making it easy to identify the boundary.
• Effective Containment: When properly energized, the netting becomes a nearly impenetrable barrier for sheep, goats, and other medium-sized livestock. It stands 35 inches tall, an ideal height for these animals.
• Predator Deterrence: The electric shock delivered by the fence effectively deters common predators such as coyotes, foxes, and raccoons, protecting your animals and crops.
• Superior Conductivity: The netting is constructed with 9 conductive braided strands, utilizing Gallagher's Turbo wire. This material is significantly more conductive than standard polywire, ensuring consistent and strong voltage across the entire 164-foot length, even in challenging conditions.
• Rotational Grazing: Its portability and ease of relocation make it an excellent solution for rotational grazing setups, allowing you to manage pastures efficiently.

Opretholdelse

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Gallagher Electric Net Fence, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Regelmæssig inspektion: Periodically check the netting for any damage, such as cuts, breaks, or loose connections. Repair any issues promptly to maintain optimal conductivity.
• Ryd vegetation: Keep vegetation clear from the fence line. Tall grass or weeds touching the electrified strands can reduce voltage and effectiveness.
• Rengøring af komponenter: If dirt or debris accumulates on the insulators or conductive wires, gently clean them to prevent voltage-lækage.
• Korrekt opbevaring: When not in use, roll up the fence neatly and secure it with the integrated carrying straps. Store it in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from weather or pests.

Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your electric net fence, consider these common troubleshooting steps:

• Lav voltage:
  • Check the energizer: Ensure it is properly connected and functioning.
  • Inspect for shorts: Look for vegetation touching the fence, broken insulators, or wires touching the ground.
  • Verify ground connection: A poor ground connection can significantly reduce fence effectiveness.
• Fence Not Standing Upright:
  • Ensure posts are fully inserted into the ground using the foot grips.
  • Check for uneven terrain that might cause instability.
• Animals Breaching Fence:
  • Confirm the fence is properly energized and delivering a sufficient shock.
  • Ensure the fence height is appropriate for the animals being contained.
  • Check for any gaps or weak points in the netting.
