Mrs Nesbitt Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi all - in need of some help... Neighbour has spotted a fox cruising the neighbourhood so I think I need to think about electric fencing... My question is this: I have some omlet netting I bought back in 2007 and it has wire running through it so I'm presuming that I can electrify it?? And that it's different therefore to what omlet currently sells? Ta muchly x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I would give Omlet a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I don't think you can. Electric fencing has to have a conductor running through it. I don't think the old fencing did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Nesbitt Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks for that... Phoned omlet today but the lovely lady I spoke to didn't know really although when I explained that there was strands of wire through the fencing she thought that it probably could be... Presume this wire would be the conductor that you're talking about chickabee... Think I'll visit the local agricultural centre and have a look at their fencing and see if mine looks the same Could be an expensive experiment otherwise!!!

WitchHazel Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The older style (slightly shorter) Omlet netting is electrifiable (we use it at our allotment), the newer (taller) stuff isn't. EDITED TO ADD: The newer (non electrifiable) stuff has posts which look like this at the bottom: The shorter, electrifiable netting has a completely different bottom.

Mrs Nesbitt Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Ah thanks for that WitchHazel that's exactly what I wanted to know - felt sure someone on here would know That leads me on to another question about the bottom of the fence shorting out on the ground but think I'll start a new post so it doesn't get overlooked... Thanks again all x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
