❓ How do I keep predators out of a chicken coop with electric netting?

✅ Direct Answer: Run electric netting around the perimeter and close the coop with an automatic door at dusk: the net stops ground predators and the door removes the open invitation at night. Fox, marten and raccoon test the base of a fence first, so keep the lowest conductive strand within 150 mm of the ground and clear vegetation from it.

📖 Detailed Explanation: Effective predator protection requires multiple layers: Layer 1: Electric poultry netting creates a psychological barrier—predators learn to fear the shock. Layer 2: Automatic chicken coop door secures the coop entrance at night when most attacks happen. Layer 3: Proper grounding ensures maximum shock effectiveness. Layer 4: Clear vegetation around the fence to prevent power leakage. HPS FENCE offers complete systems including netting, energizers, doors, and accessories designed to work together. For fox/raccoon areas, add 30cm of buried apron wire.

📋 HPS FENCE Case Study: Case Study: A farm in rural Pennsylvania had lost 47 chickens to predators over 2 years. After installing HPS FENCE electric poultry netting (50m) + AD006 auto door + 0.5J energizer, losses dropped to 0 in 18 months. The combination cost under $350—a single season's worth of bird replacement costs.

📊 Data & Evidence:

• Electric netting stops 90%+ of ground predators
• Auto door secures overnight (peak attack hours)
• Proper grounding: 3× 1m rods
