*tips hat* arfternoon...

Right the time is right for me to get some netting for the girls to extend their run, but I want cheap cheap cheap... Where are the cheapest places to buy it including poles? ebay is a rip off and the eglu shop ain't cheap either.

if I have to I will go for the eglu stuff as you get more poles but was wondering if anyone on here has some tips where to get good cheap chicken netting and it has to be moveable as it won't be up all the time..

cheers

What material you wanting ?

Welded mesh or knotted string ?

[Sadgit]

something like knotted string. I want to be able to put it up on a morning and take it down at night really.

I've used, on someone's reccomendation, knowles nets, who I'll try and find a link for.

Seem to be cheap and the netting is robust enough, but I only bought a bit. You can specify your own height and width which is good and pay for the area you need. No wastage.

Haha!!

Netting

They gave a good service too, but postage is fixed so a bit pricey for small amounts.

I used them too but I phoned them and they reduced the postage - at the time there was a note on the site to do just that if you werent buying very large amounts but it was a few months ago so things may have changed.  Very good service, cheap and arrived very quickly too.
Cant help you with poles, i got mine from a friend who works for the local council lol.

[Sadgit]

Ooooo they are cheap.. thanks for the linky and the recomendation. Hmm poles is next up for my searching fingers I guess

Hi.. Loggerheads ? Moi? was I ? got our girls last July.

Those post look a tad heavy duty for what I want.. I'm looking for something "slimmer" (aren't all men ) "JOKE"!!! and so it can be easily moved, etc

That's the stuff we've got the ducks imprisoned with.

Got the base held down with planks and bricks. It billows quite a bit so needs to be held quite taut.
