alunee Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Hi, What is probably a very quick and easy question regarding Omlet fencing to someone who already owns some. I don't necessarily need to arrange the fencing to cover 360 degrees. Because of existing wooden fencing, an 'L' or 'U' shape would be fine. Bearing in mind the door, can this be done? It looks like it is at one end of the fencing and intended to be adjacent to the other end. I've checked the instructions and also photographs, but it isn't obvious (to me) either way. Thank you, Alun Edited March 21, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I think you can but only if the door is at one edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagsbrae Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I have the middle sized fencing (only because it was better value) and have the door to the middle and have it round the edge of the garden fence in a circle as it is so long but you just have to put the gate poles at the end of the fence to make a u-shape. The poles are woven through the netting where you need them (if that makes sense). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alunee Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks both, Yes that does make sense. So the pole that retains the catch doesn't have to be 'woven' through the fencing? In other words, the final pole can stand alone where the Omlet fencing meets my garden fencing. Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yes. I think the final pole has a double prong at the bottom? That makes it more stable for standing alone but you might want to tie it to your fencing or the pressure of the other pole might pull it away, leaving a gap.

LunaKiw1 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 we have ours with a fence on one side and yes the 'end' gate pole can be tied to something - we have ours abutting to the side of the OMLET WIR's door (just held more firmly in place with a plant tie but you could do the same to a fence, eg just put the end pole up tight to the fence. It is brilliant stuff - very discreet as you don't notice it in place when viewed even quite close up so not an eyesore. It stays relatively taut if you use plenty of the uprights. Not too tricky to assemble though best done with two people. We got the longest length but don't use it all, just leaving the unused length rolled up around a spare upright. The chooks very occasionally have escaped underneath the bit that forms the 'gate' if we're not careful to make sure it doesn't ride up the pole!

alunee Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 That's great, thanks. We've got 21m on order (along with a new Cube), which is far more than what we need right now. We might tie one end to the run and the other end (with plenty rolled up) to the existing wooden fence - although I can't quite see how that will work yet. The alternative is that we'll put it around my eldest daughter's vegetable patch so keeping the chickens out rather than in, if you follow.
