chicken run advice needed
« on: March 19, 2008, 16:17 »
im building a very large run its about 20ft x 20ft

and i was looking at the cost of chicken wire and its not cheap

so i was thinking how about the netting we use for climbing plants beans and so on would this be any good do you think

as the run will house ducks too it would only be a temp wire until i can afford the chicken wire

what do you think

They are quite cheap. They do poultry netting as well as roof netting to keep birds out.

Just enter the measurements and they tell you teh price.

Good luck.
