“Electric fence nettiing is satisfactory as a predator fence--keeps out white tail deer in conjunction with a separate outside perimeter electric fence, as well as ground hogs. Rabbits do not seem to be deterred however, as the little ones can get through the netting and they apparently tolerate the shock pulse. I wonder whether the .50 joule Kencove solar charger provides enough juice to be fully effective for 2 nets; 1or 2 joules with an direct grid input would probably do the trick. Unfortunately our garden does not have access to grid power.”
“The product is good overall. My concern is that the posts are placed further and further apart since my initial order two years ago. This increases the sagging and makes the purchase of additional step in posts a must, thus raising the overall cost. It also make the moving of the fence more cumbersome and time consuming.”
“No comments about the product. Please note that the incorrect product was mailed to me. However, I am pleased to report that when notified the company immediately corrected its mistake.”
“I brought 5 rolls of the 164ft 40 inch netting and 2 rolls of the 164ft 48 inch netting and after two seasons of using it for layers and broilers all the plastic that is molded into the netting to hold the spacing on the electric wire in place has been continuing to break off and I have not found anyway to repair it. I have 20+ broken sections on each roll of netting and now the chickens are able to walk through the fence as they please. It still works good for keeping predators out as the fence is still electrified but as for containing the chickens it has proven to now be completely useless. I would look at other brands of netting before making a purchase. The pricing and shipping where great but the product doesn't hold up after just two seasons of use.”
“I have used Kencove fencing products for years and the people at Kencove have always been very helpful in explaining what would be best for a given situation. I have used their electric poultry fence for many years and the fence has kept out out all ground predators. Have also used there deer fence with great success.”
“I bought the 48" fence to keep the plentiful groundhogs and deer out of a new garden. It worked well for that, even in sweet corn. However, I had to add extra posts between every two posts, as it sagged badly. I couldn't find long enough posts locally, so it still sagged on top with using the shorter posts I found locally. I did watch a rabbit run right through the fence, but that may have been because I put used carpet under the fence to keep down weeds and to prevent the groundhogs from digging under it, so maybe they didn't get grounded well in dry weather. I will try again this coming season with a little bare space under the fence. Perhaps with the carpet under it, the positive/negative fence would have been preferable. Overall, I was pleased with the fence.”
