What Is Electrical Netting?

Electrical netting refers to a flexible mesh that can be mounted on insulated posts and electrified. It is typically used as fencing for animals. It delivers a shock when they touch the netting.

Structure

• The netting typically consists of vertical and horizontal elements. The lowest horizontal acts as the ground, completing the electrical circuit. Usually the horizontals are made of bare conductive wire, while the verticals are nonconductive. This design is intended to prevent short-circuits.

Electrical Shock

• The fence delivers a brief electric shock, designed to deliver some pain without causing injury. It can be used to keep some animals in and others out. It can also be used to protect crops, according to Grit.com.

Other Facts

• Electrical netting is not meant to be permanent, unlike some electric fencing. The mesh can be set up or removed in minutes, allowing it to be moved about easily, as necessary. This allows more flexibility in the use of different areas of a property.
