2 Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for taking the time to look at our brochure. Our objective is to deliver you a solution that fits your requirements without the need to leave your home. We want to ensure you not only install the right solution but a solution which incorporates good quality and reliable products. Our Poultry Kits are designed to keep out predators including foxes, dogs, cats and badgers and mink whilst keeping your poultry in. Each kit comes with everything you need to set up your system including comprehensive installation instructions. You may add to any kit, substitute a different energiser, add more nets etc dependent on your specific needs. The Poultry Kit comprises green electric netting, 50mtrs in length x 1.22mtrs or 1.1m high and incorporates double pronged tread-in posts built into the net (single prong on 1.1m net), plus energiser and all fittings. Nets can be linked together and additional posts may be purchased to give the net added support if the area is very exposed or the ground undulating. Netting includes a gate post so you can create your own gate in the net (a tread in gate) or alternatively we sell a separate gate known as a hotgate which attaches onto the ends of the netting. It is essential to ensure you have the right energiser for the number of nets required. It is good practice to have spare capacity as the smaller the energiser the more affect vegetation earthing will have on your system, so we include as standard a powerful energiser. A mains powered energiser is the most reliable it is simply plugged into a mains socket the power is taken to the fence by means of a lead-out cable (we offer different lengths of lead-out cable and an outdoor switch is standard in mains kits). We believe it is essential to continually test the effectiveness of your system so we now include a KV10 tester in most of our kits. Due to popular demand we have created kits that protect existing poultry pens. If your current poultry enclosure is made up of wire mesh supported by wooden posts it is possible to add an extra layer of protection by affixing electric fencing through insulators on to the wooden posts. A second line of defence against predators. Once you have decided on your requirements we can usually send your customised kit to you within 2 working days of order. To order or discuss your requirements further please contact us on We accept all major credit and debit cards (except American Express). Yours truly, Electric Fencing Direct info@electricfencing.co.uk PAGE 2 OF 9

FOX BUSTING POULTRY NETTING KITS Electric Poultry Netting is highly effective in keeping PREDATORS OUT (e.g. foxes, badgers, dogs, cats, mink etc) and POULTRY IN.

3 FOX BUSTING POULTRY NETTING KITS Electric Poultry Netting is highly effective in keeping PREDATORS OUT (e.g. foxes, badgers, dogs, cats, mink etc) and POULTRY IN. It is simple to erect, just unroll the net and tread in the posts. The nets can be easily moved around so offers poultry new grass, helps to eliminate poaching and improves soil fertility. We have a choice of dark green nets which are 50m long and either 1.1m tall (standard poultry net) or 1.22mtrs tall (premium/professional fox busting poultry net) and which can be linked together. We have 25m (only standard and premium) and 40m nets (only Premium) available. All 50m nets have 15 tread in posts which are fitted into the netting. The professional and premium nets have double pronged posts throughout for greater stability and security, whereas the standard net only has double pronged end posts. The professional net has extra tall and heavy posts throughout. More posts may be added to any net to cope with undulating land or exposed areas. All our nets come with Corner Guys to support corners, Net Pegs to pin down the bottom line, a Repair Kit and a Warning Sign. For full details on the nets please see overleaf. POULTRY NETTING KIT CONTENTS 50m Premium/Professional Electric Net, 1.2m 15 flexible double pronged tread-in posts Corner/Anchor guys and net pegs Warning Sign Add a Hotgate for Repair Kit easy access! Energiser & earth stake Connections to battery & net Croc clips (mains kits) External on/off switch (Mains kits) KV10 Fence Tester (in most kits) Comprehensive instructions POULTRY KITS We have created a series of kits depending on the number of birds you have (or will have), which in turn will determine the number of nets required. Each kit includes the appropriate energiser to power the relevant number of nets. However, if the ground is uneven or the vegetation has been left to grow into the net, there will be power loss due to earthing. The kits available are (we have more kits in our on line shop): Professional Poultry kit Premium Poultry kit Standard Poultry kit Energiser upgrades are available on all kits and provide you with an energiser with more power which gives out a stronger pulse. This allows you to expand in future and also to cope with more earthing (please call to discuss this option). Energisers may be powered by battery (12v fencing battery) or mains (the output is the same). We also have Solar Powered Energisers or a simple Solar Panel & Stand, which can be added to any 12v battery energiser and continuously trickle charges the 12v battery (see Solar Assist Kits). A mains powered kit is always preferable if practical as it is not reliant on you checking and re-charging the battery!

ELECTRIC FENCE PROTECTION FOR AN EXISTING POULTRY PEN You may already have a poultry pen in place but know there are foxes in your area and want to add another line of defence?

7 ELECTRIC FENCE PROTECTION FOR AN EXISTING POULTRY PEN You may already have a poultry pen in place but know there are foxes in your area and want to add another line of defence? There is a way to do this and it is very straightforward. A three line system will prevent a predator getting close to a wire mesh pen. The lower lines are designed to scare the fox away as it approaches the enclosure and at least one of these lower wires should be run through stand-off insulators. The higher lines are in place to give an animal a zap as it tries to scramble up the fence. The wire mesh needs to be earthed (ie connected to the earth stake or buried under the ground) and it is a good idea to run an earth wire next to the live wire at the top if the mesh is plastic coated to ensure a good zap. Prices for these kits below: ELECTRIC FENCE PROTECTION FOR AN EXISTING POULTRY PEN (for approx. 50m perimeter with gateway) Approx nos. of birds per kit Battery operated kit Line 50m kit Mains operated kit Solar Energiser operated kit Please note that Battery and Solar assist kits do not include a 12v battery and Mains kits do not include lead out cable (see overleaf) info@electricfencing.co.uk PAGE 7 OF 9
