2.4 inch Bird Netting

I've put up netting before so was already emotionally prepared for the tangling. All in all the way it was packed was great for set up and in terms of putting up netting over top of bushes and trees, went pretty smoothly. If you just pre- plan for some snags and have 2 people to set up, you'll be fine. Of course shortly after set up we had a raccoon attack our coop and they can rip it open with their hands. So...NOT raccoon proof. But will be fine against aerial predators.

Edit: 2/21/25- we haven't seen the hawk (or signs of panic from my flock that she was about) since a day or two after instaling this. She quickly realized she no longer could get to my flock. Hawks have made attempts at my chickens in years past but lost interest quickly when it became too much effort as there was lots of cover in the open run (not pictured as we took it down the install this netting). This year we have had a large female red tail intent on treating my coop as a buffet so we had to do something. Sadly, she did manage to get one of my favorelles before we got this netting up. It's tough to install, picks up and snags on everything. Unless you have a very small area to do, you're best off with at least one extra set of hands. Go slow and have patience! Here is what worked for us, which was still a bit difficult but seemed like the best route- we laid the entire length of netting, still gathered and tied so it wasn't all spread out, on our snow covered lawn (nothing to snag). Once we had the ends oriented, we fed the length of it, still tied at intervals, over the nylon roping we had installed for support over the open run. We untied and spread out the netting only after we had the length of it over the entire area, and we did a few separate sections that we overlapped the edges of and tied together with Paracord pieces and zip ties. We tied/zip tied the netting to overlap our metal fencing permiter. I was delighted this morning when I watched through our sliding glass door as the hawk attempted to brazenly swoop into the pen, just over the fence, only to hit the netting and get repelled. She almost tangled for a moment but managed to get free. She perched in a nearby pine but did not attempt it again. I am sure she will try again in the near future but it shouldn't take too many tries for her to give up. I am pleased to report there was NO damage to the net where she ran into it, much to my surprise. The net is also standing up nicely to some high winds today. It hasn't been snow/ice tested yet but I will edit this review in the future if it performs poorly then. Cheap fix for aerial predator issues but time intensive to install and likely to test your patience. But I prefer that to losing my flock!

Works well to keep my chickens in their coop (I was sick of clipping their wings). Pain in the bum to set up but probably because I am not coordinated.

Best net ever! Will not break. Even after 4 years in the sun it's still as strong as can be. Little tricky to keep from getting tangled but worth the frustration. Keeping my chickies safe!

At my age, I've done a lot of projects in my life. I must say, this is the most damnable, frustrating material I have ever worked with. First of all, just unfurling it out of the box is a challenge, as there are no instructions and it appears to be folded into a great knot. As others have noted, it snags on EVERYTHING. Each leaf and twig will make a snarl in the netting. Every corner, stick, or even slightly pointed object will grab and hold it. So every time you want to move it just a little, you first have to go untangle it from whatever it's holding onto. It's not even that strong; if it snags on something and you try to yank it out, the net cordage will break. It took almost an entire day to get it to cover my chicken pen (to prevent the now-frequent hawk attacks), when it should have taken an hour. I have no confidence that it will last even a year. When it falls apart, I will definitely find a different solution. EDIT: I just helped my neighbor place the same material over her chicken pen, and it went a lot better as a result of my experience. 1) unfold the material out of the box very carefully and you will have a long roll of netting as well as more obvious corners. 2) use at least three people to help deploy the stuff, mostly so that you can 3) never let the material touch the ground, lest it snag twigs and other debris.

It is a good product that has held up so far. Would recommend to anyone needing a quick netting option at an affordable price.

Muy resistente

I actually hate this stuff, but on the other hand if you can put up with it, it does do the job

Ce filet est très résistant. Le format 50' x50 ' est assez complexe à installer au dessus de mon parc pour les poules, ça m'a pris pratiquement la journée pour l'installer je me suis reprise en 3 fois car mon parc n'a pas une taille parfaite et aussi j'étais seule pour le faire. Il faut passer le rateau au sol avant de l'installer, le moindre débris s'accroche dans le filet. Mais le résultat est formidable, mes poules seront à l'abri des rapaces. Je vous conseille de le prendre plus grand que la taille de votre parc, avoir pris la mesure exacte il m'en aurait manqué un bout. Je recommande ce filet.

This is an amazing net! We bought it for over our large chicken run as our chickens were escaping. It is very durable as we’ve had cats walk across it but it never ripped. We’ve had it up all summer and it’s still in excellent shape.

Really like this, put up 2 on my 30’x150’ chichens run. Had it for 1.5 year and then had a heavy wet snow one weekend and the whole thing ripped down. So sad. Not sure if it was weakened by the sun, then this happened. Looking for something that will be stronger.

This net is nice and big and decent quality! Working very well as a net over a very large chicken run. Definitely takes a few people to set up due to its size but would recommend !

Works great for the top of my chicken coop cage. Super big.
