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

We love this! It was a little hard to put up but does the trick really well! We strung it across our existing wire livestock type fence and supported the center with a tree trunk and dug a hole for the tree to stabilize. It’s not exactly fancy looking but it keeps our chickens safe from hawks!

I ordered this to go over my chicken run that's ~40ft x 20ft to help shield them from hawks and owls. I read a lot of the reviews ahead of time so knew to watch out for tangling and only unroll what I needed. I set it out the width of the run and immediately tied and cut off the section of net I knew I wouldn't need before I started to unroll it.There's no way to properly express (like the other reviews) just how much this net gets tangled on anything it touches. I planned an hour to cover the run and it took just over that because every twig, leaf, and blade of grass got tangled in this thing. The biggest headache was starting over a gutter system because this was tangled for all eternity on every part of the gutter. Every millimeter high lip caused it to snag. Hindsight, I should have laid a tarp down over everything this net needed to cover... but I'm sure somehow it would've gotten tangled in that.I'm super happy with the netting though. I've had a lot of cottonwood branches fall on it with no damage. It tangled in EVERYTHING during installation and none of the squares tore. I knew the installation would be rough and planned time for it accordingly, but it's been a dream since then so I'm not upset at all. I plan on using more of it to make additional chicken areas around my property.I added a couple temporary vertical posts to help keep the height up (still snags peoples' hats off) and after a few weeks it's still as taught and unbroken as day 1.

It’s a pain to work with, doubled up in some areas and hawk still came thru and got one of our chickens. The rest are terrified and then the hawk became trapped inside the coop area. Luckily I was home but now it’s me, scared chickens and one angry and terrified hawk. Got the hawk out of the gate with a lot of effort and a 2x4 to shoo it out. Dangerous and not strong enough. If it works as a deterrent great but unfortunately if they are determined it takes little effort to break through. I recommend getting tougher netting.

This thing looks like it doesn’t, but definitely works. Unfortunately caught birds I didn’t even want to catch, but I got it to protect my ducks and chickens, and the tons of hawks that fly over can’t get through it, so they gave up. It’s so hard to put up, but cheap and effective- I’d buy again and again.

This net is big. It just keeps unrolling. You think they sent the wrong one, but it just keeps going.Other reviews complain about the installation of this net, they are not wrong. It comes packaged in such a way to make it as easy as possible but it's still insane. We installed it with three people,0 it would of been easier with 100 more. Any twig, leaf, blade of grass, or spec of dust causes a tangle. If you are patient and look for the issue and get the object out that is causing the problem, all will be fine. Don't panic. Keep your cool. Have some soothing (for you) music playing in the background. Do NOT just throw it up in the air in frustration and start cussing at it. I would like to say that it helps. I would like to say that throwing it and saying the right curse words in the right order causes the net to magically fly up, untangle, and land exactly where you want it. Sorry, that's a nope. Go into this project knowing you need multiple people, preferrably people you don't get mad at easily, and more patience that you probably have. If you have that down, the rest is a cakewalk (assuming said cakewalk is in an alligator infested swamp and the numbers are under water). Does this warrant a star reduction? No. It's a 5 star product. You just have your work cut out for you. It really is a great net. If I had a legitimate complaint about the net is that it is difficult to see, impossible at night. Remember it's there. You'll remember the first time you get tangled in it. Again, not worth losing a star.

Netting was much finer/lightweight than I expected, though it seemed pretty resilient as I installed it over our chicken coop. The roof provided many places for the net to snag or tear on screws or edges of the metal roof, but it held together fine. How long will it last? Don’t know, but I’m optimistic based on the resilience i see. Also, I like how it was shipped: a fifty foot long “pony tail” of netting tied every five feet with ribbon. I laid it down the along the peak/roofline of the coop, untied the ribbons, and pulled half down one side, half down the other. No tangles, etc.

STICKY!!! Not literally, but it will grab everything it comes into contact with! Definitely clear your work area of twigs, dead leaves, etc before laying this down or it grabs them and becomes very tangled, very quickly! Don’t untie any sections earlier than you have to while working with it. Also, the 50x50 ft piece we ordered was definitely NOT 50 x 50 but was much longer! Not even sure of finished dimensions because we didn’t unroll more than necessary to install it.This will likely trap any predators trying to get our chickens with as easily as things snag in it. If that happens, we’ll have to figure out how to manage releasing them from it.
