katieadams Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 It says 'it can be electrified using the Gemini Dual Input Energiser' if that's any help Edited to say here it is http://www.omlet.co.uk/shop/shop.php?cat=Chicken+Extras&sub=General&product_id=1810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I haven't used Omlet netting, but have used electric fencing on the farm. We just lay out the strings and poles around the field how we want them, make sure there is no cross over, make sure it is all pulled tight and then you can electrify it. The energisers we use run on car batterys, and they just clip on to the fencing. You can get something which hooks on and tells you when the battery needs replacing by flashing or making a noise. Sorry, I don't know enough, hopefully someone else will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Electrifying omlet netting is just the same as any other electric netting. See this thread and this thread and this recent one for more information. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The only thing with a mains energiser it has to be near an electrical output (mains) obviously Not going to be much help as I run electric fencing of a 12V car battery which i periodically charge up(halfords 12V batterys are usually reasonable) I just clip the energiser live wire to the tape and then add the + /- terminals to make it live. It does have an on /off switch but i usually take a terminal off. I am looking at getting the omlet netting though so as has been said not sure what u need to do with omlet netting. Electric fencing is excellent....frightens me off! ouch! my energiser has a low level flashing light when the battery is low but I usually know now how long it will last for and it starts clicking slower too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 ooh just forgot to say Discount saddlery does really good pricing on energisers for running of car batterys etc Also known as Hey Farm saddlery if you google it should come up good luck indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
