I've played with net on other farms; I prefer 2 strands of polywire personally.
Key to electric pig fencing is a really good zap. The net makes grounding out on foliage much more likely, so no really good zap.. once the pigs are not scared of the fence, you're done.
I've chased pigs around a field while they wore electric nets like a giant, ruined cape... that farmer did not have good grounds, good battery, nor strong enough energizer, and the electric fencing didn't work worth a damn.
