PermaNet® 10/48/6 Electric Netting
Product Details
Use portable PermaNet® fence on sites where permanent wire fence is hard to install—hills, rocks, curves, around trees, or where machines can’t access. Its 48" height (installed) keeps sheep and goats contained while excluding a wide range of ground-based predators.
Improved for 2026! Now with PrimaLite™ line posts—lighter and stiffer, so the fence sags less and is easier to carry and install.
- Fiberglass-reinforced composite — 10× stiffer (vs. the same diameter PVC post)
- Step-in foot wedge — Combines the easy insertion of a single-spike post with the stability of a double-spike post
- Lighter rolls — Over 30% weight savings, with no loss of durability
PermaNet® 10/48/6 is an all-purpose utility net, supplied in multiple lengths so you can choose the right length for your situation.

Benefits
Two color choices:
- Green & Black
- Blends into the background from a distance, while still offering good visibility to humans and animals up close.
- White & Black
- Many animals have poor color vision but see shades of black clearly, so this high-contrast pattern stands out against most backgrounds.

* Pos/Neg (PN) fences are recommended where the soil is very dry and/or the animals do not ground well. Two clips are used at each end. One is hooked to the energizer, the second should be connected to a ground rod.
Installation
Tip: When using Pos/Neg fencing, a PowerLink (see Accessories) is recommended to attach the negative lead to the ground rod.

Common Questions
- Will PermaNet® 10/48/6 contain poultry?
- No. Because of the 6" wide spacings, this PermaNet® will NOT contain chickens. For chickens, we recommend 42" or 48" tall electric netting with 3" wide spacings.
- How does PermaNet® compare to Premier’s other nets for sheep and goats?
- At 48" tall, it’s taller than ElectroNet® and ElectroStop®, which makes it more reliable at containing and excluding animals. PermaNet® is designed to be left in one place for months or years, so it pairs PrimaLite™ line posts with a step-in foot wedge for stable insertion. The result is better support through wind, rain, ice and snow, with less sag over time.
Precautions
Netting must be moved when tall grass covers the lower “hot” strands. The alternative? Apply a strip of herbicide to kill vegetation.
Warning! Due to risk of fire, do NOT use continuous-output energizers with electric netting or electro-plastic conductors such as rope, twine or tape. Use only a low- or wide-impedance intermittent-pulse energizer. All energizers sold on Premier’s website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for electric netting.
Dry conditions and wintertime use may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing. Ice and heavy snow can flatten netting and damage it.
Dry or frozen ground may cause posts to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed.
Troubleshooting
If possible, separate the fence into sections. Then progressively reconnect, checking voltage as you go. When the voltage drops, you’ve identified the section with the problem. Listen for snapping sounds. This occurs when a conductor is close to a grounded wire, metal objects, fallen branches, or other green vegetation causing a “short”. Shorts cause fence voltage to collapse and allow animals to touch the fence without feeling pain.

The step-in foot wedge requires only a single boot press—no dead blow hammer or rubber mallet, and no bending down to push in a spike.
The one downside hasn’t changed with the new posts: vegetation along the net still needs attention, since it stays unmoved for so long. We spray an herbicide strip beneath it to keep grass and weeds from growing into the strands. Less vegetation contact means less voltage drained out of the fence.
Bottom line: same PermaNet durability, less effort to put up and take down. We’re moving our other semi-permanent paddocks over to the new posts as rolls come up for replacement.

Really well built net fence. Tough, and thoughtfully packaged. I’m expecting this will last.
Anthony R from West Virginia
Works great! Simple to install. The only suggested improvement would be to add three more efficient straps to close one end of the fence to itself or to connect to another string. I'm thinking a small bungee cord with about 4"–6" of stretch fixed on an end pole with a hook on the end large enough to connect to the final pole, or first pole of the next string (4"–6" would provide from to put a support pole between the two). The shoelace, while sufficient, doesn’t allow for one-handed operation.
Ron B from Kentucky
Very impressed with this product. Easy to set up. Works great! The first Boer goat tested the fence in less than 3 minutes. With me 75 feet away, I heard the spark hit her nose, lesson learned.
Two days later the second Boer goat (twin to the first one) with lowered head tried to run through the fence, she was wrapped up. She is pregnant and weighs 200 pounds. After getting her untangled she gets up and walks away. To my surprise the fence had no damage. Tough fence.
I am 70 years old. I can put this fence up by myself. I will be purchasing again in a few weeks.
Barney L from Idaho
I use this fencing in fall and winter to graze my sheep in hay fields. Good temporary fencing and easy to install and store.
Anthony R from North Carolina
Easy to install, seems to work great.
