I don't have that exact one, but I have something similar. The quality is good, and it's very easy to move. All of my hens can fly over if they feel like it. I have an EE who gets over easily, 2 BO and an Australorp. I clipped their wings over the summer and that prevented escape for a bit, but now they're able to fly over again. Bad news for me as we aren't allowed to free range and the neighbors get grumpy if they go in their yard.

Not very tall. Many breeds of chickens could easily fly over it.

Well of course I had to use two layers to cover my eight foot tall run.

You have the exact same one? I'm not too worried about the price, just wanted to know the quality and if its worth buying.

Was going to suggest you ask in the AU thread.....but it doesn't look very active.

I returned the one I bought from Premier1
It didn't stay up taut like I needed it too, droops in the middle unless you have other stakes to hold it firmer.
I like a more permanent fence or one that I can move but it wire based.

I also depends on where it will be and how big an area you want.
This will also not keep Birds of Prey out.

Google "Appletons" [Nelson NZ] They sell omlet brand fencing from UK.I have some .Good quality Expensive.I like it but be aware some chickens will fly over it.1.25 high so a little higher than one you were considering.

Ive seen Appletons and chookmanor. But Omlet is $428 for the size I want.

Do you have an existing fence you could use for one side of your pen.You could get away with a smaller length netting then.Obviously it couldn't be electrified then. Not usually necessary in NZ unless you are worried about stray dogs.
