Bird Netting for Chicken Coop - 50x50ft Poultry Netting Over Chicken Run & Chicken Pen, Heavy Duty 2.4” Mesh Garden Net for Blueberry Bushes, Fruit Trees and Vegetable Against Birds, Deer, Squirrels

This stuff seems good. It feels very thin but others have noted it works well. We have a hawk problem we hope to solve with this. Time will tell. As others have stated, it sticks to everything and grabs onto everything. My gloves were stuck and tangled in it several times. With a few people, we got it installed.This won't work for everyone but for our run (14ft x 20ft with a perimeter of 1x4s on face at the top) we first laid out the entire 25ft x 50ft net on the snowy ground and then folded it over on itself one time to create a 25ft x 25ft net, 2 layers thick. Then we rolled that onto a 2x4x16. With two of us on either side of the run (14ft side), we placed the board with the rolled up net on top of one end of the run and then rolled it out, being mindful to ensure both layers of netting were together and hanging over all sides as we went down the run. We rolled it a few feet, moved the ladders and continued to the end. Without doing this, it would have been an absolute nightmare with wire fencing, staples and boards catching it all the way. Once it was all laid out, rather than stapling it to the side boards all around the run, we cut 1x2s down to around 18" long and screwed those down every few feet all the way around the perimeter with the netting underneath. The netting catches seemingly everything so the thought is if a hawk or owl gets snarled in it, I can easily remove a few of those boards to let the netting down to ground level to remove the bird. For anyone with bird banding experience, this stuff is like a slightly thicker mist netting so my fear is the hawk or owl is not going to just bounce off, they'll probably get caught in it. Again, time will tell.

The net is wonderful. However, no instructions came with it. It came tied off in sections. I untied it to see how it would unfold. It quickly became a huge tangled mess and got caught on everything in the yard and around the chickens fence. It was pretty frustrating! In hindsight, I’m sure it would have been super easy to install had we known, not to untie the sections first. Now that’s it in place, I love it. It looks good and keeps my chickens in their fence.

Same issue as everybody else. Bought the 50x50 to save money and found the stuff is so limp and floppy and gets stuck on EVERYTHING! Anything it touches it gets stuck on. Seems strong, had me entangled for about 5 minutes trying to get it over the top of my chicken enclosure and I wasn't sure I would be able get out. It's very limp and hard to handle but I it does seem to be strong but man is gets tangled on everything that isn't smooth....sticks, twigs, buttons on your shirt, the bead on the top of your hat, eye glasses, seemingly smooth wood like 2x4's and plywood......grass....if it ain't smooth, this will get caught on it! I'd say have at least 4 people around to try and put this up and forget about it if it is windy! This is very light and little breeze blows it around. Other than it's unmanageable, it is strong and comes with zip ties, wire and plastic stakes. Zip ties are questionable quality, had a couple snap trying to use them. Still, I would recommend it for its intended purpose.

This does the job! Like other reviewers say, it sticks to everything! So, putting it in place can be a nightmare or hilarious depending on your mood. I used the netting to cover my 10’ x 25’ fenced-in chicken yard after I found my beautiful Gold Laced Wyandotte Chicken dead (inside the fenced chicken yard) from a hawk attack. Our goal was to pull it tight and zip tie it to the fence top. At one point I needed to get inside the fenced area to arrange the netting to get it in place. It stuck to my hair, glasses, sticks on the ground and anything else that existed. At one point I was actually laughing hysterically because what else can you do. My son and I finally got it arranged and in place. I think this will work very well. It is very strong and practical invisible from outside the fenced area. So, it’s nice that it’s not an eye sore. I’m happy that I found such an affordable solution to protect the rest of my girls. I read some reviews that said it gets tangled. If you take your time opening it up, this shouldn’t happen. I paid close attention to how it was wrapped up (which was well done). I slowly unfolded it and laid it out, in a long line, in front of my chicken yard. Once I came up with a plan on the best way to get it up and over my fence, we cut the ribbons that held it together. I think opening and unfolding slowly with attention to how it’s wrapped is key. Then, laying it out length wise, before cutting any of the ribbons is very important so as not to get it in a tangled mess. It just takes observation and a plan.

I admit, i liked the price and size options. It took 5 adults and a lot of cuss words to put this up. We attached it as an overhead net to outdoor chicken pen to deter predators. 1st off, isnt rolled in a straight length nor do we feel it was constructed this way. Had to recut a new piece 2x or a middle section was too narrow. Didnt make sense. It tangled with every stick, seed pod itcame intact with. 1st storm- tree branch fell on the net and has numerous holes now i need to repair. It wasnt a humongous limb either. Wont be buying this again. Out $, sweat equity in 99 degree temps, "quality time" w inlaws which could have spent doing other tasks, hundreds of gnat bites, lots of threats to misguided kids, marital threats/spats and 1 dead poor tangled songbird who also got entangled in this horrocious product. Sorry, not sorry for this review to steer other frugal homesteaders from trying the same idea I did.

This is an interesting net when it comes and you will need several people to help put it up but once it is up it is wonderful. Our chickens are now safe.

The net is pretty durable but is NOT a square. It’s cut more of a circle which made it very hard to cover my chicken lot. And everything sticks to it. When I laid it down and as I picked it back up it even picked up rocks. Just a heads up with the aggravation. But overall it will work. Just really wish it was a square/rectangle instead of a circle so it would cover the whole lot.
