sorry Omlet ...

 

Me and my grandad have just bought some netting for our gardens (he keeps chickens aswell). We didn't want to part with £68 for only 25 metres as we needed roughly 40 So we found a company called Knowle Nets, They supply all types of netting including poultry netting suitable for bantams and hens.

 

Omlet Netting 25 metres, 13 poles - £68 Suitable for hens, NOT suitable for bantams (They state it is however my pekin hen squeezes through the bottom hole.)

 

Knowle nets 25 metres, NO poles - £15

 

The netting has 1" 1/2 holes all over. Even though it doesn't come with poles you can buy a couple of spare packs from omlet and it will still be cheaper!

 

Omlet netting 50m - £118

Knowle Nets 50m - £30

 

It is black and blends in fantastically...

 

 

(sorry about the rubbish quality pics, stupid phone )

Good Luck

that's really good, in the first picture I was 'where's the netting?'

 

Seems useful, pity I don't need netting

[Sky]

Looks good but I am guessing that this can't be electrified which makes a bid of difference as the Omlet netting has all the electric wires going through it and we do use ours with an energiser.This would of course up the price.

[Egg Lou]

Thanks for the great tip Tom! This might be perfect for my needs!

[Egg Lou]

Hi Tom.. stupid question but did you get the chick/bantam version and what width did you order?

That looks really good Tom. I don't need my fencing electrified but I could do with some more lengths of netting. I think this may be going on my christmas list .

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That looks really good . Even less obtrusive than Omlet netting .

[Griffin]

Thanks for that, I've bookmarked it. I think I'll get some of the bantam netting because two of my big chicks have turned out to be bantam sized and the little horrors (well just one naughty girl in particular) can squeeze through the Omlet netting. We have 25m of Omlet netting but could do with more to create little outdoorsy pens for some of the growers.

Thanks tom,, this is perfect, I needed some netting to section off a bit of garden for the new ex batts Im getting to keep them seperate from my existing hens for a while till they get used to each other and forking out nearly £70 wasnt going down to well with OH. This is gonna cost me £25.!

Cheers

 

(and omlet, sorry )

[emmamakeup]

That's fab - I'm looking for netting for my garden to keep the girls in a specific area. How fab - you're a star!!!

[tom123]

Please dont buy the bantam size, they rip you off! I ordered the 1 1/2 " which is still smaller than omlet and even the pekin chicks can't squeeze through plus its nearly three times as expensive!

 

I bought 10 metres x 1.2 metres however the omlet poles are only about 1m high so have pegged the extra down on the floor.

 

Thanks

Tom

27ft = 8 and a bit metres

3.5ft = just over 1 metre

 

If you get the 4ft stuff that should keep them in

 

Good Luck

[debbie26pet]

wow great thanks. what was postage like and was it quick?

[tom123]

It was about 7 days and about £3-4 which I thought wasn't too bad

Thanks Tom!! I'll order up tomorrow.. perfect!

[LesleyH]

thanks so much for taking the time to post this. our omlet netting has just started snapping with age and we are very skint - and stressing about it. We have been mending the holes with string and worrying about the cost of replacement. the poles are fine though and this has solved it for a tenner including postage! a huge thanks to you

[Jennyhenny]

Am I doing this right, just been on the website.

 

I need 9 metres x I assume 1.2 will be ok- It came out at £5.40 surely I got this wrong Seems far to cheap

 

Jennyhenny

[LesleyH]

you are correct - but bear in mind you also need poles of some sort - omlet or otherwise - but its a great bargain

[bluekarin]

that is excellent Tom. Thank you for posting the link. I have been after some non expensive netting as a temporary measure and this fits that bill. When I was looking at your pics I thought they were going to be the before and after netting Really good stuff.

[Jennyhenny]

This is a fantastic bargain. At the moment I have volley ball netting which the girls can squeeze through so have had to put fruit netting over that - looks a right mess. These are held up by bamboo canes, with the net cable tied on - not easy to move and looks an eye sore

 

If I order some Omlet poles will I be able to attach it easily

 

Jennyhenny

 

Well done Tom great link

Where's the best place to get poles from?

 

Flytesofancy - they do packs of 10 poles that work our cheaper per pole than the extra poles via Omlet, plus they do some corner poles - these have three spikes (above ground looks the same) so keep tension on corners better.

Look here: http://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/chickenhouses/Electric_Netting.html top left is the new corner poles and the pack of 10 poles are third row down on the right - these are identical to the omlet poles and the same netting.
