Premier 1 PoultryNet 48 in H x 100 ft L Portable Electric Double Spike Fence with Rigid PrimaPosts, Blue and White Review (2026)

Who this fence fits

This is Premier's PoultryNet built with rigid PrimaPosts rather than the flexible step-in posts used on their standard netting, aimed at keepers whose ground is soft, sandy, or uneven enough that a regular post design tends to lean or sag between line posts. At 100 feet, the roll suits a smaller paddock or a yard where you are rotating a modest flock rather than covering acreage. The blue and white coloring is also a deliberate choice, since most four-legged animals see blue clearly even though their overall color vision is limited, making the fence line easier for curious pets, livestock, or predators to notice and investigate with their nose before testing it with a push.

PrimaPosts, resistance, and what it keeps out

Premier describes the PrimaPosts as offering more stiffness than standard line posts without adding meaningfully to the fence's overall weight, which is the core selling point over the standard step-in version. The company also states this netting carries a low electrical resistance around 35 ohms per 1000 feet, which matters for long fence runs or paddocks with heavier weed contact, since high resistance saps the shock delivered at the far end of a run. Premier lists this net as effective against deer, bear, raccoons, rabbits, foxes, coyotes, stray dogs, and skunks, a broader predator list than the company states for some of its other netting lines, reflecting the sturdier post and construction.

Setup, power needs, and daily use

Premier states that even new users can go from an unopened roll to an installed fence in under 10 minutes, slightly faster than the company's stated time for its standard netting, since the rigid posts push into the ground with less fiddling. As with every Premier PoultryNet, the energizer and ground rod are sold separately, and the fence provides no real deterrent until it is connected and charged. Because this net is rated for livestock beyond poultry, including sheep, goats, cattle, and guard dogs, it is a reasonable option for a mixed small-acreage setup, not just a chicken run. Check the charge periodically with a fence tester and keep grass trimmed along the base to avoid grounding out the current.

Trade-offs against other Premier nets

Against the standard 164 foot step-in post netting in yellow or white, this roll covers less ground at 100 feet but resists sagging better thanks to the rigid PrimaPosts, a fair trade for smaller or uneven paddocks. Against Premier's PoultryNet Plus, which adds extra line posts specifically to reduce sag on a 100 foot roll, the two products solve a similar problem with different approaches, stiffer posts here versus more frequent standard posts there, so either is a reasonable pick for difficult ground. The shorter roll length and premium post design also mean this option tends to cost more per foot than the basic 164 foot rolls.

Verdict and who should pick something else

Choose this fence if your yard has soft, sandy, or uneven ground where standard step-in posts tend to lean, and you want a shorter roll rated against a wide range of predators for chickens or other small livestock. Choose the standard 164 foot netting instead if you need to cover more ground and your soil is firm enough that post sag is not a concern, since that option is more affordable per foot. Either way, remember the energizer is a required, separate purchase, not an accessory, since the netting alone does nothing to deter the predators listed.
