[QUOTE="neilo, post: 4160812, member: 348"] Livestok netting has rigid plastic uprights, so it stands up better and is far less prone to tangling, either round the sheep's head or when taking it up/erecting it. IIRC it was designed by the guy that invented Flexinet, after he sold the rights to that product, then he sold Livestok to the same company (that's the way to make money :D), but now made by a German company. [URL]https://www.agrisellex.co.uk/livestok-electric-sheep-netting.html[/URL] Flexinet has flexible uprights, so it is more of a flexible net. If a sheep (or other animal) gets into it, it tangles around them, just as a net used to catch something would. It is the work of the devil compared to Livestok IME, and has given plenty of farmers a bad experience with netting and put them off for life. [URL]https://www.agrisellex.co.uk/flexinett-electric-sheep-netting.html[/URL] Whichever you use, you need a strong fencer on it though, as you would with stranded polywire. Young lambs need to learn that it 'bites' when they first go up and sniff at it. I lamb outside in parkland these days, so don't use electric fence paddocks for young sheep and use a RAPPA system for older sheep now. I still use nets on occasion, and they can make a handy temporary funnel to gather sheep to a pen. I have plenty of spare rolls of Livestok still, from when I used to use it exclusively.
