Jennyhenny Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hi, Have spotted some netting on ebay as Omlets whilst excellent is a little pricey. I tried to put a link but have failed The item number is this 220393759687 If you have a minute could you have a look for me to see if it will be ok. Thank you.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I can . If it's just to keep your girls where you want them, I should think it'd be fine . What are you going to use to put it up with? I used some green garden canes from B&Q which are good but not so easy to move about as the Omlet ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyhenny Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 You clever people you Just want to cordon off around their eglu and run so they dont trash all of the garden Probably just hold it up by canes as you say ANH Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 It should be fine to keep the hens in, but not to keep other things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 If you get garden canes, a little trick I worked out was to push some garden wire into the hole at the top of the cane, leave a bit sticking out and bend it into a loop. You can then hang the top of the netting on the loop. (Otherwise the netting sags a bit too much ) You can also do something similar at the bottom to stop gaps appearing (and chickens digging their way out ).

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Top one's easy, just shove wire down as far as you can (it'll go to the first kind of joint bit). Bottom one, push wire up inside the cane and leave enough hanging out so that you can bend it back up beside the cane and make a loop at the top. The wire outside the cane will be under the ground with the loop just showing. Hope that makes sense . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
