Garden Bird Netting Y1901

Used this to cover a chicken run for Serama chickens, AKA red tailed hawk snacks. Have had absolutely no problems since installed with critters getting in. Surprisingly unobtrusive when deployed, so we added some bling so the hawks would stay away. A storm blew a branch through the top of it, but it was quickly and easily repaired with some small black zip ties. Good stretch, gives well, so far no UV degradation observed.

We decided to start a small garden. We have birds of many varieties, lizards, and rabbits. I went to the local hardware store and bought some really sturdy deer fencing. It was difficult to cut and install and looked pretty terrible. The very next day, our new seedling were gone. In fact, one lizard was trapped inside the fence. I repaired and modified this system all to no avail. Then I found this netting. It worked perfectly. It was easy to unroll and spread open. We don't even need to full width of the netting, so I cut it shorter with a standard pair of scissors. My latest version looks more like a lean-to and works perfectly. I'm holding down the bottom of the net with PVC pipe. That makes it easy to pick up to access my garden. My space is only 5 feet wide. The length is closer to 15 feet. This was a ton of netting and I've used a small sample of it. But look at the price! My deer fencing that didn't work and was very ugly cost me $80!!! Did I mention? No critters have invaded since I installed this netting.

I started a garden this year, but the birds have been stealing all of my crop! I’ve draped this bird netting from the top of the fence (my garden box is up against my fence line) down to the bottom of my box. I put small nails in the fence and the box to keep the netting taut and in place. It’s worked well, but it definitely gets tangled with itself. I try my best not to touch it if I don’t have to. But it definitely gets the job done. The bird only poop on my garden now. 🙄

For years the deer have been knawing on my evergreens during the winter. In the spring I would find large holes in the bushes and it would take a few years to grow back. I had enough! This netting was the answer to my prayers. I cut it so it comes down the sides and then I just tuck it into the bush. No need to tie it down. The beauty is that you can't see it! You have to put your face a foot away to actually see it. So much better than the ugly burlap. It's June now and the netting is still there! Why take it off? The schrubs are still protected and they look beautiful.

The netting appears to be keeping the crows from attacking what blueberries I have. Some of the branches do veer through the netting, but in general I do believe the netting is working!

It sure was wonderful to see the mockingbird that had been dining on my blackberries at will, stop and try to figure out how to get to those juicy morsels almost immediately after I covered the bushes with this netting. He no longer has a free lunch with my berries.

This works wonders. The deer, birds, and other critters have stopped entering the gardens. Our vegetables are growing well and without fear of being destroyed by the hungry critters, not the kids, The wildlifeThe only gripe I have is small and happens to most every brand of netting - when you use stakes and ties, the area which is tied becomes weak, saga, and the betting stretches or breaks. It is not a big deal since you’ll be raising the netting as your plants grow, but it is annoying, but so are the deer.

Fills the bill.. Lightweight and seems to take snags well.. I like that I was able to unwrap the netting and cut specific lengths for different areas.. I'll update as time warrants
