Poultry And Fruit Cage Netting - 2m x 15m - Black

The mesh size is 17mm x 17mm (approximately 0.67 inches x 0.67 inches).

With proper care, this UV-stabilised plastic netting is designed to last 8-10 years with routine outdoor use.

Yes, it can be used to enclose a chicken run to prevent poultry from escaping. Ensure it is securely fixed to prevent any gaps.

It is ideal for protecting most fruit from common bird pests. For very small fruits or areas prone to specific pests, consider combining it with a finer mesh netting, especially on the roof.

You can attach the netting using ties, clips, or S hooks. Ensure it is stretched taut and securely fastened at multiple points.

Yes, the netting is designed to be cut to your required dimensions using sharp scissors or a utility knife.

No, the open mesh design allows for good airflow and permits sunlight to reach plants without causing heavy shading.

This netting has a slightly larger mesh (17mm) suitable for both poultry containment and deterring larger birds from fruit. Bird-specific netting often has a finer mesh designed solely for crop protection against smaller avian species.

Ensure the frame is stable and securely anchored. Use additional fixing points (ties, clips) and pull the netting firmly before securing each point. Consider warming the plastic slightly in sunlight to increase flexibility before installation.

The 17mm mesh may be too large for very small birds or specific pests. For smaller birds, consider using a finer mesh netting or doubling up the existing netting for added density. For larger pests, a sturdier material might be necessary.

Ensure the netting is installed securely without slack areas where birds can peck and pull. While UV-stabilised, constant pecking can eventually wear it down. Inspect regularly for wear and tear and reinforce as needed.

Ensure the netting is indeed UV-stabilised and handled with care. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces. Proper storage during the off-season is crucial for longevity.
