Chicken Netting
« on: April 01, 2012, 12:34 »
Hello!

Has anyone come across any temporary chicken netting?  Basically, to give the ladies a bit extra running around space without them killing my garden - which is what they're doing at the mo!

Looking at the kind of thing that omlet sells - but without the massive price tag!!  Easily removable and stored when we're not around.

Ta!

You could always get the electric type netting so that if you wanted to electrify it at a later date you can then buy the accessories.  Don't think it has that option with the Omlet one and it is about the same price.   ;)

you could make some wooden frames with weldmesh stapled onto them. These can then be placed together in whatever size you want and held together with tie wraps.
Staffies are softer than you think.

If it is only going to be temporary and you wish to move it around sometimes I would use scaffolding debris netting. and make up your own small posts it comes in many colors, and is as cheap as chips.

We use that stuff - you can get it in green as well. Very useful when you use it with the metal spikes to keep it up.

tried that with my dogs as a temporary fence - 1 went under it and the big dog just barged her way through it and trampled it to the ground allowing the 3rd our old girl just walk over it  :lol:

Hehe - Yep - I tried using it to keep our newfy x flat coat off a patch of lawn I'd reseeded. She found she didn't need to jump over it - just *at* it. I'm now the proud owner of three bent metal stakes and a patch of seeded dirt with paw prints in it, not to mention a content dog...
