  • Here is the NUMBER ONE HACK to prevent your solar energizer battery from losing power caused by a short that honestly Justin Rhodes himself couldn't diagnose when I talked to him almost 2 years ago. I should have done this simple hack back then but didn't realize the many uses of zip ties! Premier 1 electric netting ( Premier 1 Supplies ) is by far the BEST on the market. I will also show you how to fix a frozen power switch on Premier 1 solar powered energizer. How to fix electric netting sags.

    I can strongly recommend getting the gate for going in and out. It is a lifesaver, especially if you have hard enough ground or can mount the ends on posts.

  • @embracethesuck1041
    @embracethesuck1041 Pƙed 6 měsĂ­ci

    Beyond the fiber end posts, you can actually get the ones that come on the fence for about half the price of the fiber ones and double up if you don't like the sagging. More of an issue on uneven terrain than flat ground.

      @2Quacks5ClucksFarm  Pƙed 3 lety +3

      Give it a go if you have the space. Besides, the energizers for the poultry netting are ran by solar. Just make sure if you go that route you have a clear path going south because the solar panel needs to face south. If you have any questions at all please ask away! I’m all ears!

    I love the fence gate Premier 1 sells. I did not want to step over the fencing and risk a fall. I also pull my garden cart through the gate each morning with the water and food for the chickens. I to use plenty of the support poles for my 100ft fences to hold up sagging sections.

    Periodically getting somebody to lift the fence while you weed whack underneath I find is the best way to keep 8 kV or 6 kV coming on your tester. you have to have a minimum of 4 kV but it’s really not that strong

      Thank you @Alex Schwebach I’m happy our videos have answered all of your questions! We will be selling merchandise here very soon! If you have ANY questions at all when it comes to your new pigs, the electric netting, feed or anything else shoot me a email or comment here. Are you going to be using electric netting? Rotating them? How old will the pigs be when you get them? It’s very important to bucket train them when you first get them. Don’t worry, it’s very easy. They will soon know when you have a bucket in your hand that it’s feeding time. I always used the red Tractor Supply buckets, that way they could easily see it. With the electric netting I never had a sow, boar or piglet get out. Never! Now there was one time when a sow exited through the entry point but that was my fault and I shook the bucket and she came back in. I trust Premier 1’s electric netting, nobody else’s netting. This is how much I trust the netting, one of our sows had her piglets. About a day or two after having them they go into heat. Well, I had the boar in with a few sows in a separate paddock 20’ from the sow who had the piglets and was in heat. Boris never even tested the fence. Now he bellowed a ton and I could here him all the way down at our house but he never busted through to get to her. Now, this was my experience. And Mangalitsas temperament is amazing. Hope this helps! Please feel free to ask away! I’m all ears and will help you throughout your journey. Thanks Alex!
