INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

On the deer netting that @Faraday40 mentioned, I use that too for various items. But it gets tangled up very easily and hard for me to reuse as it gets caught on all kinds of things.

(Got mine at Lowes on a roll - 7ft w x 100 ft. long - very inexpensive. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sta-Green-...g-Black-Polypropylene-Hardware-Cloth/50119481)

I do use it over the top of my kennel run to keep hawks out and once lined the entire kennel sides with it to keep the birds out. They were coming into the kennel to eat and I didn't want them in there.

Here it is lining the kennel panels.

In this photo, you can see it overhead for the hawks.
And you can also see another way I've used the green poultry netting as a temporary divider.

Later we cut a second door on that side and used it for chicks. They could go in and out their own door to that area. Tarp bungied at an angle overhead for shade. Angle so the rain wouldn't pool on top. Bungied so it has "give" and can move in the wind without tearing.

I think your plastic bird netting may possibly be a heavier material than the one I have overhead and on the kennel to keep the birds out? I know they make some that is heavier.

The stuff I get is very light. Once it's off the roll it would be hard to reuse it (for me anyway - it tangles up very easily). But it sure does do the jobs I use it for very inexpensively.

Can you post a link to the type it is?

Whew! I thought I'd never get caught up! I had a few problems with the BYC upgrade, but I think I got all my followed threads and persons back.

The incessant rain is not being kind to my gardening schedule. The seeds I did manage to sneak out have rotted and the plants I have grown inside are 2 1/2 feet tall with blooms on them. I'm going to HAVE to put these plants out this weekend rain or shine, whether I've tilled or NOT!

Good to see everybody made it on the new BYC!

Sorry I don't think I have the brand name anymore. I just grabbed 2 rolls when they were on sale a couple yrs ago at Farm & Fleet (a farm store). Since it's already here, I use it often. It's not the ultra thin stuff sold in folded squares but still pretty cheap.

I think the stuff I have is just a huge amount of the kind like the folded stuff. It's not like fencing weight - more like a net. I can tear it if I pull on it hard enough.
 
Thanks for all the advice on netting. We'll go look around this weekend. I'm so anxious to see what hatches. This is my second go at hatching eggs. This time with an incubator we purchased so hopefully better results than last time!
