Easy and portable...but a few issues
By C. Keeney
Although I think this pen is great...I didn't receive the entire roll of polytape..even after calling customer service...and I think the height of the posts is misleading..hence the 3 stars. If I wanted to buy a new energizer and more polytape then it would be great to own, as my review below states:Easy one-page instructions and everything fits nicely back inside the bag, without struggling...I needed this portable paddock for my goats because I have a lot of unfenced acreage beyond the barn area. I was worried about the fence being suitable for goats so I called Customer Service...The rep went to a lot of trouble and checked this for me and said it would work fine for goats as well. However, several days later, I called back and spoke to another rep and he said that goats needed much higher voltage. This particular energizer is 3,000 volts and that goats needed 5,000 to 8,000 volts. But he said I could just buy another pulse type energizer and it would work with the tape that I have. I have older, very mellow goats so the 3,000 volts are working so far.I have different breeds and therefore different heights of goats and one concern was that the clips on the post wouldn't be low enough to the ground for my mixed breed goats but on the post, it has clips all the way down so that the tape can be hung at various heights. However, even though the post is listed as 4ft high, I measured and they are actually 47 1/8 inches tall and after you push the metal tip into the ground, you are left with a height of 38 inches. The tape rests at the bottom of the top clip which holds the tape at 35 inches off the ground. Seems awfully short for horses but I don't know anything about horses either.The instructions are clear and has helpful diagrams, making it all very easy to put together. I did have problems at the end tying it to the last post. I had to call Customer Service, and the rep said that you CANNOT unroll the whole spool of polytape if you are hanging it to the last post via the spool, which is per the instructions. Since I had already unrolled it to the end, I had to tie the end of the polytape to the post or to the empty spool container, which he said was okay, but then it's not easy to untie that knot.In lieu of posts, you can hang the guy wire around trees and then slide the electric tape through the loop. Guy wires, which are similar to tent stakes give the posts extra stability, but I saw no need for them at all since the clay soil held the posts very well.My ground is hard clay but the fence posts sunk in easily, despite that. It had rained within the last week though so it may be different depending on the dryness of the soil. The posts are sturdy, and strong enough to not break with normal use. I did have gravel in some spots which made me have to relocate a few posts, since the tips would not go past them.There is no mention of the tape being allowed to touch weeds and grass, so I called Customer Service back to find that out. He said that that only a low impedance energizer can be used near grass and this energizer is NOT low impedance. So, I had to mow where I wanted to put the fence to avoid any problems with grounding. Not very practical when out on the road.Planning the fence was harder than I imagined because I couldn't make a perfect square and I thought I had measured correctly but still fell short of where I wanted the fence to end. I then discovered that I was only given 126 feet of polytape rather than the 200 feet. Doing a trial run of setting the fence up is recommended.I wanted something that was easy. I'm a small middle-aged female and needed something that wasn't too much trouble so I could move it around without a lot of sweat and tears. This is perfect for my goat situation if they had just sent me the correct length tape. It seems too short for horses but I posted the measurements in case it helped someone who has horses.

Very good corral for 1 horse, maybe 2 with additional electric tape
By Carol M
I love portable electric corrals. They are a fantastic option for containing horses while camping, etc. They are easy to use, give your horse some walking around room, don't require a level set-up area, are flexible for size/shape, and are small enough to keep handy in your trailer's tack room. I much prefer using these to portable panels, high-lining, tying to the trailer, etc.There are many portable corral kits on the market, all very similar with the same kinds of components. (Except the Zareba EZEE, which is a different animal.) So I'll give you a component-by-component rundown on the items in this kit.CHARGER - This kit comes with a charger that takes 2 D batteries. I was leery of this, having had less-than-stellar performance from a 2D charger in the past. But this one works pretty good, producing a reasonable strength zap with 100 feet of electric tape (with good grounding in damp, solid soil). If your horse is already accustomed to and respectful of electric fencing, this should be sufficient. The charger is easy to use, with the fence and ground terminals clearly marked. The on-off switch is very accessible, and a light and an audible sound tell you when it's on.ELECTRIC TAPE -- This kit is advertised as coming with 200 feet of ½" tape. My kit had only 100 feet. 100 feet is enough for one horse. I don't know where they're coming with up the statement `perfect for containing 4-5 horses for short periods of time'. No way, not even close, even if I had received the full 200 feet. Of course, it's easy enough to pick up more electric tape at the farm store. But beware that the more tape you add on, the less zap you'll get from your charger. So I'm not sure if the 2D charger would be strong enough with 200 feet of tape. The tape in this kit comes with a handle pre-installed. It's a nice handle with a good feel to it, but it doesn't connect nicely to the posts. I rigged up an extra little tape loop to hook the handle to.STEP-IN POSTS - These are my favorite kind of step-in posts. Each post has numerous clips to slide the tape through, so you can set at the right height. It's very quick and easy to insert and remove the tape from the clips, making set-up and take-down easier.CORNER GUY LINES - This kit comes with some very nice corner guy lines and metal bracing stakes. Honestly, I'll probably never use them. With this style of fence, there usually isn't much (if any) tension on the posts, so I've needed corner guy lines. Why add to set-up and take-down time? But if you prefer to use the corner guy lines, I think you'll like the ones in this kit. They are nice quality adjustable lines, with metal stakes.WIRES, GROUND ROD, ETC -- Of course this kit contains the necessary wires to connect the charger to the fence, and the charger to ground. The ground rod is a 12" pointed spike. Nothing special here.CARRYING BAG - Oh my gosh, A+++ for this carrying bag! The bag has one long skinny section for the posts, and a separate snap-off zipper tote for the other components. Within the smaller bag, there are separate compartments and elastic holders for each piece. No more jumble of stuff!!! I love it. (One quibble - one of the step-in posts had pierced the bag during packing or shipping. The bag is made of pretty heavy-duty fabric, but not quite heavy-duty enough to stand up to a pointed spike. And the ends of the bag are not reinforced to avoid this problem.)All in all, this portable fence kit is about as good as any I've seen and would be a reasonable choice for anyone wanting a camping corral. Just don't expect it to "contain 4-5 horses ", unless you're rotating those horses in and out one at a time.

Light weight, good design, easy set up
By P. Kingsriter
It may be an odd way to start a review, but since it's the first impression (and it was a good one), I'll say that the carrying case on this unit is brilliant. The shoulder strap, well-placed handle, and easy functioning zipper are all sturdy make transporting this portable paddock a snap. Total weight is amazingly less than your standard camping tent.Set-up is also remarkably easy, even to the unitiated. First timers might want to budget 30-45 minutes but after a time or two you should be able to secure the structure within 10-15 minutes (depending on your terrain).The fact that this operates on 2 "D" cell batteries is remarkable, making this kit truly portable. The product description states it will operate for 30 days on those 2 "D"s (amazing!). I have not tested mine for nearly that long, but bringing a spare pair of batteries wouldn't be a hardship, I'm sure.I'd have some concerns about the integrity of this kit if you're trying to pen a "spirited" animal. Make no mistake: this is no fence. A more docile horse (or other animal) with electric fence training/experience will be safe and secure with this well-designed gear.
