John n Marjie Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hi all, as a new member can I get some help on this please. We have been keeping up to 4 hens in a 4'x6' secure run with raised coop inside it. This is works fine but naturally they want more space so I made a larger open run to let them out into when we were home. The cheeky foxes took no notice of our proximity however and we have lost a few birds now. We have decided to go for an electric net to protect four chickens. The space i have available means a 25m net is too long and only around 15m would be needed. I can only find 25m for sale. Do you know anyone that sells a shorter net or is there an easy way of dealing with the excess netting? I assume you cant just roll up the excess or it will short out but can you cut it easily?

Gamebird Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 As far as I am aware you can't buy electric fencing in lengths shorter than 25m. However, you can cut it to the required length without doing any harm to the netting. You can then make use of the left over poles in your main bit to support any saggy places.
