Attaching Bird Netting

[Bodhisan]

I thought I was being clever by using zip ties to attach my bird netting - and maybe it was if I had no plans to try to easily access the extended run it covers. For example, to throw in grass cuttings (that my three hens treat like gold), which I've also found is a great way to shake around and cover the bare ground in the run to give them something to not only eat, but to scratch through - and a cover for insects to feel unwisely secure in.

I just ordered these on Amazon, and this is going to give me the access all around that I was looking for:

Might work good.....is netting just to keep chickens in?
Pics of said run?

Guess it depends on how hard/easy it is to open up the rings. If it's easy for you it's potentially easy for raccoons too.

Here’s a photo. I’m so glad I did this, although I’ll bet there’s something better that can easily be used that wouldn’t aggravate the arthritis in my thumb joints. I don’t believe a coon could hang on the net and disengage these binder rings. It would be pretty tough to do.
