Has anyone used fabric mesh electric fencing

as advertised in NASCO?? Its supposed to be a sub for hog fence, and I was just wondering if anybody had tried it and with what success. I wondered how it worked without shorting out, being so close to the ground. It comes in `150ft rolls I believe, and I was wondering what if a tree fell on 20ft of it, in the middle, what was done to fix that then? If anybody is using it, what are u using it against?

I have electric net fence for my goats. Got it from Kencove, but it's the same basic stuff. The bottom wire isn't hot. Ours has worked great.

It's not where a tree can fall on it.

While I do not know the specific brand, I do know a number of people using that type of fencing with great success.

I use electric poultry netting and will be getting some goat netting soon. Love the stuff. Haven't lost a bird inside the netting to a predator in over two years of using it. You'll need to keep grass and weeds from growing into it, I use Rainbow/Crossbow once a year. Or you could mow. As for a tree falling on it, move the tree and the netting will bounce right back up. At least mine from Premier will, not sure about the brand you're contemplating.
