The #1 Thing That Ruins Electric Poultry Netting And How To Repair It!

This video demonstrates how to repair electric poultry fencing with tears and discusses why some fences become unrepairable. The presenter shows how to fix breaks using a repair kit, which includes extra wire and metal clips, or substitutes like washers. A key issue highlighted is the disintegration of white ropes in some fences due to a lack of UV treatment. This causes the material to break down easily in sunlight, rendering the fence unfixable. In contrast, green conductive ropes and other components on older fences, when properly UV treated, have held up well. To repair a break in a non-conductive white rope, the presenter suggests trimming the frayed ends, tying a square knot, and then a half hitch. For conductive green ropes, a square knot is tied on both ends, and a metal clip is used to connect them, ensuring electrical conductivity. If metal clips are unavailable, a washer can be used as a substitute. The presenter emphasizes caution when melting frayed ends to avoid damaging the conductive wires. The video then reviews different brands of poultry fencing. The Rent A Coop fence is praised for its metal fork for easy ground insertion and metal poles, but its white ropes lacked UV treatment. The Power Fields short fence is highly recommended for its durability, UV-treated components, and robust construction, including metal forks and thick plastic verticals. However, a taller Power Fields fence is criticized for its flimsy plastic poles, lack of a foot fork, and tendency to sag, making it inferior. The presenter expresses a desire for a fence that combines the best features from various brands, particularly UV-treated components and sturdy construction.
