jjmack Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi, The girls have been here for a week and seem very settled. Mildred escaped from me to day but managed to get her again had visions of her taking off into next door as I have yet to chicken proof the garden! Any way. I have got some netting from Knowles (really quick delivery - 24hrs!) and have kind of cobbled together a temp extension for the run that leads up to the hedge so they can root about underneath (it has a fence the other side so they can't get out). They had a little root around in there before going to bed and seemed very happy. Anyway it is a bit of a phaff as the eglu and run share the swing area, so I want something that I can take up and down easily, using bamboos is a pain and i am currently attaching the netting with ties so I can see me getting bored with the idea. So I wondered if any one has any experience of making a fold up run extension with netting or mesh that I can alter the shape of according to where the kids are playing? Once i have chicken proofed the garden they will be able to go a bit further afield. All ideas/ photos gratefully received! Thanks Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Omlet netting & poles are fab for that kind of thing . They are quite pricey but are very well made and sturdy. You can occasionally get half a length in the "for sale" section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yup I use that and have cut it into shorter lengths so I can put it where I want. I have knowles net as well but its not that easy to put up and down in a hurry as you have found and leave it in more permanent places around the rockery. Note though, if you do get it you can't electrify it once cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
