RentACoop Goat Electric Fence Netting — 42in H x 168ft L portable mesh with copper & stainless conductors

RentACoop’s 42" x 168' Goat Electric Fence Netting is a portable, 42-inch-tall electric mesh designed to contain goats, sheep, alpacas and similar livestock while creating a flexible, temporary pasture.

This pre-assembled electric netting gives you a quick, movable boundary that combines copper and triple-braided stainless steel conductors for reliable shock delivery when attached to a compatible low-impedance pulse energizer (sold separately). At 168 feet long, the net provides over 1,700 square feet of coverage when enclosed, and it’s built with fiber-reinforced plastic posts, double-spiked supports, and mini-posts to reduce gaps on uneven ground. It’s ideal for rotational grazing, temporary paddocks, or protecting gardens and property from curious livestock and common ground-level predators.

How easy is this fence to set up and move?

Setup is straightforward: the fence arrives with pre-fastened FRP posts spaced for quick staking, and the included metal stakes and guylines add rigidity across different soils. Portability is a core feature, letting you reposition the netting to expand pastures or create temporary enclosures with minimal effort.

• Pre-fastened fiber-reinforced plastic posts every 12 feet for fast layout
• Double-spiked posts and metal stakes for secure anchoring
• Mini-posts reduce gaps on rough or sloping terrain
• Lightweight netting rolls up for transport and storage

Will it keep my goats and livestock safely contained?

The conductive copper and triple-braided stainless-steel wires help deliver consistent pulses, which discourage animals from pushing through the mesh. While the netting creates a clear, physical and electrical barrier, it requires a compatible energizer (minimum 0.25 joules per roll) to maintain an effective current across the entire length.

• 42-inch height suited for most goats and small livestock
• Multiple horizontal conductors for even current distribution
• Connects to low-impedance pulse energizers (sold separately)
• Optional gate handle kit available for easier access

Can this fence help deter predators and protect gardens?

The fence forms a visible boundary and, when energized, helps discourage many ground-level predators and prevents livestock from wandering into gardens or roads. It’s most effective as part of a broader protection plan—position it to block common access points and combine with daytime supervision or additional deterrents if needed.

• Covers over 1,700 sq ft when fully enclosed
• Adds a clear barrier between animals and garden areas
• Useful as a temporary predator boundary at ground level
• Can be joined with other netting rolls for larger perimeters

What accessories and maintenance should I plan for?

To operate this netting you’ll need a compatible energizer (solar or mains) and grounding rods; optional additions like a gate handle kit and voltmeter make daily use easier. Routine checks of conductors, stakes and tension will keep the net performing well and prevent sagging or gaps over time.

• Required: low-impedance pulse energizer (min .25J) — sold separately
• Recommended: voltmeter, grounding rod, and optional gate handle kit
• Included items: U-shaped stakes, metal stakes, repair kit, warning sign
• Simple spot checks to fix any loose posts or damaged wires

Who is this for? RentACoop’s 42" x 168' electric netting fits homesteaders, small-scale farmers, and backyard keepers who need a mobile, durable solution to manage and rotate pastures, protect gardens, or temporarily contain goats, sheep, alpacas and similar livestock. It’s especially useful for anyone who wants a fast setup without permanent posts, but who is prepared to supply a compatible energizer and perform routine inspections.
