Bird Netting 50'x50' with 1" Square Mesh - Heavy Duty Nylon Net for Chicken Coop Roof, Chicken Run and Aviary

Edit: 2/21/25- we haven't seen the hawk (or signs of panic from my flock that she was about) since a day or two after instaling this. She quickly realized she no longer could get to my flock.Hawks have made attempts at my chickens in years past but lost interest quickly when it became too much effort as there was lots of cover in the open run (not pictured as we took it down the install this netting). This year we have had a large female red tail intent on treating my coop as a buffet so we had to do something. Sadly, she did manage to get one of my favorelles before we got this netting up.It's tough to install, picks up and snags on everything. Unless you have a very small area to do, you're best off with at least one extra set of hands. Go slow and have patience!Here is what worked for us, which was still a bit difficult but seemed like the best route- we laid the entire length of netting, still gathered and tied so it wasn't all spread out, on our snow covered lawn (nothing to snag). Once we had the ends oriented, we fed the length of it, still tied at intervals, over the nylon roping we had installed for support over the open run. We untied and spread out the netting only after we had the length of it over the entire area, and we did a few separate sections that we overlapped the edges of and tied together with Paracord pieces and zip ties. We tied/zip tied the netting to overlap our metal fencing permiter.I was delighted this morning when I watched through our sliding glass door as the hawk attempted to brazenly swoop into the pen, just over the fence, only to hit the netting and get repelled. She almost tangled for a moment but managed to get free. She perched in a nearby pine but did not attempt it again. I am sure she will try again in the near future but it shouldn't take too many tries for her to give up. I am pleased to report there was NO damage to the net where she ran into it, much to my surprise. The net is also standing up nicely to some high winds today. It hasn't been snow/ice tested yet but I will edit this review in the future if it performs poorly then.Cheap fix for aerial predator issues but time intensive to install and likely to test your patience. But I prefer that to losing my flock!

Husband put over my chickens to keep hawk out. Works great & seems pretty durable. We get alot of wind in country...its holding up pretty well.

I have order a 25ft x 50ft and came in nothing compare to this one. This time i order a 50ft x 100ft and came with a lot of spots like these. I use it as above protection for my chicken run and the smaller one work perfectly fine for about a year. I decided to make my chicken run bigger a trust this same brand with a bigger size, but just a little disappointed with these knots. Hope they dont tear or end up being a hole later within the time. Also recomend buying bigger extra zip ties depending the use of this neeting, they are small and thin.

Advertised as heavy duty! Don't waste your dime on this . It's so thin it tangles on the slightest thing. ( grass, leaves, even your fingers.,) god forbid you get a twig in it.Do I know the difference between heavy duty & sewing thread. Yes I do, I've covered several chicken pens with flight netting. This is pure junk. Didn't bother to return, simply because a junk top was better than no top at all. I will have to order HEAVY DUTY some wheres else. ( ebay) and recover pen again. Folks please pass this message up!!.

I can't complain to much, it does work. I just have it over my chicken coop run. Don't get me wrong, its a big pain in the ass to put up/use.

We used this to keep hawks from being able to dive down and kill chickens in a blind spot behind our coop. It tangled easily and it stretches on the bias- so it won’t lay straight. It’s kind of odd. But in the end it is working for what I bought it for.

I put this over my chicken yard to keep out hawks and keep the chickens in. It seems to work well. It would not keep out a larger terrestrial animals, but it does its job as described.

This netting is great. It’s been months and so far so good. I’m using it to keep hawks out of my chicken run. It’s nearly invisible from the window. It is difficult to put up alone.
