Flexible Poultry Netting for Overhead Run Coverage
Cover the open top of a poultry run or game bird pen with flexible olefin netting. Choose between 1 inch and 2 inch mesh, then select the roll that covers your overhead span with enough material to attach it to the frame. This is flexible fiber netting. Use separate perimeter fencing suited to the ground predators in your area.
Mesh and Roll Options
- 1 inch mesh: The smaller opening is intended for smaller birds and suitable covered brooder pens.
- 2 inch mesh: The larger opening is intended for overhead coverage on pens where that opening size suits the birds.
- Roll sizes for either mesh: 25 × 50 ft, 25 × 150 ft, or 50 × 150 ft.
How to Measure a Poultry Run for Netting
Measure the width and length along the path the netting will follow. If the top is sloped, measure along the slope. Allow extra material for fastening at the edges and for joining sections where one roll cannot span the opening. A wider roll can reduce the number of seams.
Plan the support and attachment points before ordering. Check the edges around posts, corners and gates after installation, where gaps are easy to overlook. Inspect the cover after storms and replace damaged sections when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this metal wire mesh?
The material is flexible olefin fiber. The mesh measurement refers to the opening size.
Can I use it as the only predator barrier?
Use it for overhead coverage alongside a secure perimeter. Flexible netting can help discourage aerial predators, while the sides and base of the run need protection suited to local ground predators. See Colorado State University Extension’s poultry predator guidance.
How do I choose a roll?
Select the mesh opening first, then match the roll dimensions to the measured span and allow for fastening and seams. Request a quote for the mesh, roll size and quantity you need.
